Hi All, I would like to educate you that ICFAI is having UGC DEB recognition for distance education if required can check in the website of UGC. Since ICFAI is a University, University has a UGC DEB recognition so no need to apply for AICTE approval. And about extra money whom so ever is collecting are not from the university because whatever fee normally paid by the student will be informed at the time of admission only.
