NCTE Forms Panels to Amend Teacher Recruitment Rules for ITEP Graduates
The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) has established two expert committees to amend teacher recruitment rules and eligibility criteria for the Central and State Teacher Eligibility Tests (CTET and STET). These changes aim to include graduates of the four-year Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP), launched in 2023-24 under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, as eligible for school teaching positions. The first ITEP batch will graduate in 2027, and amendments are expected by then to formally recognize ITEP as a qualifying degree alongside existing credentials.
