NCTE, also known as National Council for Teacher Education, is a body responsible for regulating the teacher education system in India. It lays out the standards and norms for various courses related to teaching and is also responsible for holding examinations of such courses. The council was formed in 1953 and has been working since to improve the teaching quality of teachers in India.
The importance of NCTE can be assumed by the fact that this council is the only one in Asia. It has played a pivotal role in shaping the teaching industry of our country, and the impact can be seen particularly in our education system today.
Benefits of NCTE
