The first round of counselling and admission to allotted seats in AICTE affiliated institutions will be completed within October 5. The second round of counselling is scheduled to conclude within October 15. The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has revised the academic calendar for the year 2020-2021 and has asked its affiliated institutes to follow it.
The AICTE has revised its academic schedule twice within a span of 3 days. The second time it had to schedule after the University Grants Commission (UGC) changed the academic calendar and asked universities to hold final year exams.
It has asked its institutions to postpone the classes, if they have already begun it. For students who are due to appear for the final year exam, AICTE, has asked to hold special classes.
