One of the main differences between University Grants Commission (UGC) and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), is that the later one basically deals with technical education.



When talking of UGC, it is the apex body that approves universities in the country. UGC provide funds for affiliated universities and colleges.



The AICTE is only a statutory body, which deals with co-ordinated development and proper planning of the technical education system in the country. All the Engineering, MBA and Pharmacy colleges are affiliated with the All India Council for Technical Education.



While technical institutions are overlooked by the AICTE, the other universities and colleges fall under the UGC.



You can get the government jobs by both colleges whether it is approved by UGC or AICTE.



All the Best!!

UGC and AICTE are two apex organisations that cater for the higher studies in India.



UGC is the apex body that approves universities in the country. UGC provide funds for affiliated universities and colleges. The UGC also conducts exams, known as NET, for appointing teachers in colleges.



The AICTE is only a statutory body, which deals with co-ordinated development and proper planning of the technical education system in the country. All the Engineering, MBA and Pharmacy colleges are affiliated with the All India Council for Technical Education. Also, the technical institutions are overlooked by the AICTE.



And if you go for Govt jobs then obviously they would be asking that your qualification should be done from the recognized college/university  (UGC/AICTE etc approval).



Hope this helps!!!
