MINISTER OF THE STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SMT. D. PURANDESWARI)
(a): Universities are autonomous institutions and enjoy
autonomy in accordance with the provisions of their respective
Acts for conducting academic and administrative affairs and
hence, do not require prior approval of the UGC for starting
any UGC specified degree courses. However, the statutory
Council for B.Ed. Course, the National Council for Technical
Education (NCTE) prescribes the norms for admission to this
course.
(b): Any institution intending to offer a course or training in
teacher education is required to submit application in
prescribed form to the Regional Committee of the NCTE having
jurisdiction over the State in which the institution proposes
to start the teacher education course. The detailed criteria
for grant of recognition is laid down in Sections 14 and 15 of
the NCTE Act, 1993, NCTE Rules, 1997 and NCTE Regulations dated
27th December, 2005 notified vide Notification No.8 published
in the Gazette of India Extraordinary, Part III, Section 4 on
the 13th January, 2006.
