In Brief
JNTU sought state approval before granting affiliation to new engineering courses, even after AICTE approval. The High Court interim order allowed student admissions, relying on Jaya Gokul Education Trust. The Supreme Court held that JNTU Regulations expressly require State NOC, which the University can enforce. The Court set aside the interim order as improper, since admitting students before completing affiliation processes risks harm if affiliation is denied. With State NOC now granted, JNTU was directed to complete affiliation within 10 days, after which the High Court can determine appropriate relief based on the University's decision.
