The All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) has approved the extension for seven MBA programmes of Lucknow University for the session 2009-10.

The Institute of Management Sciences has been given extension of approval for six of its MBA programmes — MBA (CM), MBA (F&C), MBA (IB), MBA (Marketing), MBA (MS) and MBA (Tourism) with an intake of 60 students each.

Approval has also been granted to two-year full-time MBA programme with an intake of 60 students. The Department of Business Administration runs this programme.

A communication to this effect from AICTE reached the university on Monday. The AICTE gives approval of extension on yearly basis on mandatory disclosures and compliance report which is required to be submitted prior to admissions for the following year. The university had submitted compliance report for academic session 2008-09 on time. However, the list of approvals on the official website of the AICTE continuously displayed compliance report not submitted. The delay in getting the approval was because university had filed one single compliance report for all MBA programmes running in two separate entities — department of Business Administration and IMS.
