Key fact
AICTE approval is not mandatory for an MBA.
A university MBA is recognised through the UGC, not AICTE — and management education has a long autonomous tradition (the IIMs ran as autonomous societies until 2017). Why autonomy works for management →

Is AICTE approval required for a Event Management MBA?
No — not for a university Event Management 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 Event Management 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.
