No, because Universities are not “recognized” by AICTE. Universities are established and recognized by Governments, State or Central.

Further, it may be noted that AICTE does not recognize (the correct expression is ‘accredit’) institutions, it recognizes programmes of studies.

No. AICTE does not accredit institutions/ universities. National Board of Accreditation (NBA) established by AICTE is an accrediting body for technical programmes. There is another body, established by UGC, National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) which is the accrediting body for all universities.

1. As a State University in Rajasthan, why does NU not consider the State’s CET score for the purpose of the admission to B Tech?
NU makes admissions on an All-India basis. Therefore, only national level examinations have been given a due weightage in the admission process.
2. Am I eligible to apply for the BTech program without appearing for JEE or AIEEE?
As per the admission policy of NIIT University, you are required to have a ranking in the AIEEE examination or in the EML of JEE or have a SAT score.
3. If I am currently studying in another BTech college and have completed 1-2 years, can I join NU in the 2nd/3rd year?
There is no facility for transferring credits into NIIT University at this time.
4. Is there any minimum JEE or AIEEE cut-off required for selection to the Merit List?
The selection process is not based only on AIEEE or JEE ranking or SAT score. It considers the class 10th, 12th performance, AIEEE/ JEE/ SAT performance and a candidate’s performance in the Interview conducted by the University. The cut-off is based on an aggregate score and varies from year to year.
5. If the candidate has less than 60 % say, 59 %, in just one examination, and otherwise has excellent academic record, would NU consider his/her candidature
No.
Details: Credibility of admission process depends upon following in full spirit, what is publicly stated as policy. NIIT University will scrupulously follow the specified eligibility criteria for admission.
6. No University to the best of our knowledge, gives weightage to the marks obtained in Class 10 examination. What is the purpose of considering “past” performance? It may give an unfair advantage to somebody who has scored very high in Class 10, but got only 60 % in 10+2.
There are institutions which give due weightage to performance in a Class 10 examination. The purpose of considering multiple performances is to make sure that the candidate being considered for admission is “consistently” good. Good performance in one examination with mediocre performance in others will automatically bring down her/his aggregate score and consequently, her/his position in the Merit List.
7. What is the procedure for students who have done 10th from India and 12th from abroad? How will NU consider the grade point scores?
NIIT University is certainly open to students who have done their 12th from a recognized system abroad. Yes, there is the issue of conversion of grade point scores to the percentage marks system acceptable in our environment. We will do this by converting grade point scores to percentage marks by multiplying the grade point score on a scale of 10 by 9. E.g. Score of 6.8 X 9 = 61.2 %. Please do not hesitate to apply.
8. What are the selection criteria for different disciplines of BTech program?
1. Minimum 60% marks in Class 10 and 10+2 with PCM (for CSE/ ICT and ECE) and PCM/ PCB/ PCMB (for BT) from any board in India or its equivalent from any other country.
&
2. AIEEE rank or JEE EML rank or SAT score 2012 for CSE/ ICT/ ECE.

3. Interview conducted by NIIT University
9. In BTech admissions, NU gives weightage to JEE/ AIEEE rank, but in MTech admissions, NU does not give any preference to GATE qualified candidates. Why so?
There is no analogy between JEE/AIEEE and GATE. GATE is basically for the purpose of giving scholarships to post-graduate students.
10. NU is giving 33% weightage to AIEEE/JEE/SAT performance. But some of the students do not do so well in these exams. This fact should not stop them from applying to NU. How do you tackle this factor?
Certainly, performance in one examination should not determine the future prospect of any student. Precisely for this reason, NU gives 17 % weightage to class 10 performance, 17 % weightage to 10+2 performance, 33 % weightage to AIEEE/ JEE/ SAT performance and 33 % to NU conducted Interview.
