About Us

Four-year Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) is a comprehensive undergraduate programme that emphasizes a dual-major approach, and seamlessly integrates teacher education within the broader higher education system., It offers students the opportunity to pursue Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) with Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.), or Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) with B.Ed., or Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.) with B.Ed. Students enrolled in this programme will complete their studies within a condensed timeframe of four years, as opposed to the conventional five-year duration mandated by the current B.Ed. Curriculum. ITEP will be available for all students who choose teaching as a profession after passing the exit examination of Higher Secondary (10+2) in any discipline (Arts/Humanities/ Science/ Commerce). The four-year Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) envisions the creation of passionate, motivated, qualified, professionally trained, and well-equipped teachers capable of designing and implementing developmentally appropriate learning experiences for students at different stages of school education. The ITEP seeks to ensure that the prospective teachers are given the highest quality education in content, pedagogy, values, and practice.

ITEP aims to bring together multidisciplinary undergraduate education and professional preparation of school teachers. The programme envisions providing excellent quality pre-service teacher education that addresses the longstanding issue of insufficient focus on disciplinary knowledge and lack of its integration with professional knowledge in teacher preparation in India. 

The National Education Policy 2020 highlights, “Teacher education is vital in creating a pool of school teachers that will shape the next generation. Teacher preparation is an activity that requires multidisciplinary perspectives and knowledge, formation of dispositions and values, and development of practice under the best mentors. Teachers must be grounded in Indian values, languages, knowledge, ethos, and traditions including tribal traditions, while also being well- versed in the latest advances in education and pedagogy” [Para 15.1, NEP 2020].

Admission

The National Testing Agency (NTA) will be responsible for conducting the admission process for the programme. This will be done through the administration of the National Common Entrance Test (NCET).
