Private institutions are not covered under RTI. But, the other way around is that the query relating to your institution can be obtained by the applicant from AICTE/other related government department.
Leave RTI, why you are hesitating to provide the information sought, do you think that furnishing the information will be detrimental to you, then please note that if he knocks the AICTE/other related government department seeking the information then you may have to face the consequences, since the department concerned will wake up to the said aspect and take note of the deficiency/discrepancy. So if you think that providing the information may not be detrimental to you, you can provide the information.

directly you are not bound better to say that you are not bound.
the apropriate authority which gives you affilation can only ask any query from you.
and that authority is bound under jurisdiction of r.t.i. directy you not.
