necessitated setting up of the All India Council for
Technical Education (AICTE), and now, 25 years later, the
Judiciary and Parliament have tacitly concurred to

questions than it could answer, would have to wind up or
may perpetuate in its new avatar like the oversight
committee for medical admissions or fee structure
