New Delhi, Dec 31: The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the technical education regulator in the country, has warned students against fake 10-day MBA crash courses.

AICTE Vice-Chairman, Abhay Jere, said that an advisory has been issued against such 'fake MBA' programmes, targeting youth.
