Dear Sir,
I have recently visited few NGOs of Howrah. One of them is running a Primary Teachers Training Institute(PTTI) from 2009 which is recognized by National Council of Teachers Education (NCTE) for conducting ‘Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed.)’ course and want to apply for recognition for ‘Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.)’. Rules for applying of an additional course of NCTE is as under:
1) In the first instance, an institution shall be considered for grant of recognition of only one course for the basic unit as prescribed in the norms and standards for the particular teacher education programme.
2) An institution can apply for one basic unit only of an additional course or for an additional unit of the existing recognised course after completion of three academic sessions of the respective course, for which the institution shall submit application before the cut off date prescribed for submission of applications in the year succeeding the completion of three academic sessions. Maximum intake capacity of an institution taking into consideration of all courses, along with additional intake, in any case, shall not exceed 300.
By reason of the aforesaid regulation whether the NGO is eligible for application for B.Ed. course this year or not?
Kindly send your learned opinion.
Kind regards,
Atanu Mandal
