Controversies

In 2005, the Government of India informed that the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) had withdrawn approval for Amity Business School's PGDM (full time) and PGDM (part time) courses. AICTE decided subsequently to transfer the then students of Amity Business School to neighbouring institutions. The decision was taken up after several visits by an AICTE Expert Committees to the Amity Business School in Noida, which found "serious deficiencies and violation of Norms and Standards". The institution was found conducting a "large number of unapproved courses in the same premises," some that required mandatory AICTE approval. A Live Mint-Wall Street Journal report in 2008 confirmed that "AICTE was accurate in observing facilities and infrastructure intended for AICTE-approved courses were being utilized for other unapproved courses." The institute had contravened building laws and also did not have the required "built-up area" as required by AICTE norms. Additionally, the lack of transparency in the institution's admission process and charging of "exorbitant fees" were also quoted as reasons for the withdrawal of the approval.
