Is NIFT approved by AICTE

I heard that National Institute of Fashion Technology Mumbai is not approved by AICTE. Tell me is National Institute of Fashion Technology Mumbai approved by AICTE or not? Also tell me Is the degree offered by National Institute of Fashion Technology Mumbai is valid for government job?

Can you tell me if National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) is approved by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) or not?
