The All India Council for Technical Education, the technical education regulator in the country, has warned students against fake 10-day MBA crash courses. The AICTE issued the notice warning the students after a motivational speaker ran advertisements on a 10-day MBA programme.
The notification read, “It has come to the notice of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) that some motivational speaker and influencers are offering a 10-day MBA crash course. This is to inform all stakeholders that such crash course is an attempt to misguide the young minds of the county.”
The notice further said as per the Supreme Court’s judgment, without AICTE clearance or approval, no institution or university is allowed to offer technical course(s), including MBA or management courses (leading to a PG degree).
An MBA is officially a two-year postgraduate degree programme that is designed to provide individuals with advanced skills and knowledge in various areas of business and management. A management programme including an MBA cannot be completed in just 10 days, the AICTE notice further said.
