NCTE Forms Committees to Review Teacher Recruitment and Eligibility for ITEP Graduates
The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) has formed two expert committees to review and update teacher recruitment qualifications and eligibility criteria for the Central and State Teacher Eligibility Tests (CTET and STET). These revisions aim to include graduates of the four-year Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP), which began in 2023-24, within the eligibility framework for school teaching positions. The committees will recommend amendments to recognize the ITEP degree and adjust eligibility rules ahead of the first batch's graduation in 2027.
