M.Ed. Programme
The College of Teacher Education, Bhopal is presently running regular two years post graduate teacher educational programme (M.Ed) as per the new norms of the NCTE regulation, 2014. The programme is recognized by NCTE, WRC Bhopal order F.No. WRC /WRCAPP2507/M.Ed(Revised Order)/2015-135324 dated 16.5.2015. The quality of students depends upon the quality of teachers. It won’t be unfair to say that the quality of teachers prepared for school education reflects the quality of education that teacher education institutes provide. Many a time it has been found in the teacher education colleges that teacher-educator are professionally ill-prepared and ill-equipped for the job. As a result, teachers prepared for school levels would be substandard. It is obvious that education and training of a prospective teacher will be effective to the extent of the teacher educators are professionally equipped for the job. NCFTE (2009) mentioned in its document that: “The quality of pedagogical inputs in teacher education programmes and the manner in which they are transacted to realize their intended objectives depend largely on the professional competence of teacher educators”. Hence, there is a need of professionally trained teacher educators. It is true that nation is not only short of teacher educators but severely short of quality teacher educators. The reason may be attributed to structural gaps. In order to meet the shortage and enhance the quality of teacher educators, NCTE in 2014 announced new norms for M.Ed. programme including systemic change in curriculum with increase in duration. The Post Graduate Teacher Education programme (M.Ed.) was started in the year 2014 after getting recognition from NCTE, WRC. Initially it had an annual intake of 35 students, but in the wake of new norms and regulations, intake increased from 35 to 50 seats as one unit. It is a two year professional programme.

B.Ed. Programme
"The destiny of India is now being shaped in her classrooms”
Kothari Commission, 1964-66
Over the years teacher preparation has been severely criticized from all quarters of nation. It is inspite of the fact that NPE (1986) stated: The status of the teacher reflects the socio-cultural ethos of the society; it is said that no people can rise above the level of its teachers”. Yet, our education system undermines the role of the teachers in making the nation. From ancient India to contemporary India, from local to global, from individuals to collective, from community to society all acknowledges the importance of teacher as transmitters, inspirers and promoters of man’s eternal quest for knowledge. NCFTE (2009) in the opening pages mentions that: The expectation from teacher should not be taken as rhetoric but as a goal to be constantly striven for, the urgency is to address ourselves seriously to examining the issues related to the preparation of teachers as well as to prune the theory and practice of teacher education. Indeed teachers are professionals but they are also human beings and that’s why they believe in transformation of raw material into a knowledge worker. In this context, numerous changes have been envisaged by NCTE in the preparation of teachers. The first is increase in the duration from one year to two year with longer stint of teaching practice called internship in schools. During the internship pupil teachers would get to know more about the schools, its functions, working and how school and community are interlinked. The second is the change in the curriculum wherein more emphasis on learning the theoretical foundations of various knowledge and to put into transactional practice into the field. College of Teacher Education is adopted the revised curriculum of B.Ed. approved by the University. The syllabus of the B.Ed. Programme is consist of three core parts namely; Perspectives in Education, Curriculum and Pedagogic Studies, and Engagement with Field. Besides the core parts, internship is another important aspect of this programme which spreads over four semesters with peer teaching in first semester and institutional engagement in rest of the three semesters of varied duration. The present B.Ed curriculum is highly enriched with built in opportunities for pupil teachers to explore, innovate, create and practice the new ideas. The faculties of this college have been striving to achieve the goal of preparing quality teachers.
The annual intake of students is 100 comprising of two units of fifty students each. It is a four semester programme. The academic calendar of B.Ed programme normally starts from 1st August every year. The programme schedule is notified in the University prospectus with the commencement of the admission process.
