Difference Between AICTE Approved & UGC Approved

Can you please provide the difference between AICTE or UGC approved?

Actually both AICTE and UGC are not degrees but they are apex organizations for higher education in India.
UGC is University Grants Commission and not related to technical education alone.

All the state universities and some other universities are UGC approved. It grants funds for research to institutions and universities.
AICTE stands for All India Council for Technical Education.
AICTE is council for technical education only.
AICTE gives rankings to colleges.
Students seeking admission to college having 'A' certificate from AICTE and affiliated to a university approved by UGC. To the best of my knowledge only UGC approved degrees are recognized by the government as it is the apex body for higher education.
The approval from AICTE means a minimum standard will be followed but converse is not true, for example IITs and BITS Pilani are not affiliated to AICTE.
