A draft bill regarding the same was also put in the public domain and later it was decided that the Higher Education Commission of India will also take over AICTE.This year, in September, the minister said that the bill is in final stages and will be presented before the Union Cabinet in October."The Higher Education Commission of India will be a single regulator and replace UGC and AICTE. The bill has been prepared after elaborate consultation with states. It will be taken to the Cabinet in October," Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank tweeted.UGC is a regulatory body for universities and AICTE acts as a regulatory body for engineering, pharmacy, management and other technical education colleges.
