Is AICTE approval required for a Accounting and Taxation MBA?
No — not for a university Accounting and Taxation MBA degree. A university MBA is recognised through the university's UGC status; AICTE approval chiefly applies to PGDM and standalone technical institutes. For an online or distance Accounting and Taxation MBA, the check that matters is the university's UGC-DEB entitlement. Management education also has a strong autonomous tradition — the IIMs ran as autonomous societies until 2017, and premier online institutes such as IICT and IIPM have for 30+ years.
