The Ministry of Education has notified a four-year Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP). This will be a dual-major holistic bachelor’s degree offering B.A.B.Ed. /B.Sc.B.Ed/ B.Com.B.Ed as part of the mandate underlined in the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020.
As per the NEP, the teacher engagement from the year 2030 onwards will be done only through ITEP. It will be offered in pilot mode initially in about 50 selected multidisciplinary institutions across the country, a PIB release read.
The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) under the Ministry of Education has devised the curriculum for this course. It has been designed in such a way so as to ensure that a student-teacher gets a degree in education as well as a specialised discipline such as history, mathematics, science, arts, economics or commerce.

Eligibility And Other Details
