Graduates aspiring to take up teaching profession henceforth will have to do a two-year course to obtain B Ed or M Ed as the National Council for Technical Education has decided to increase the duration from the present one year to two years. This extended duration of the course is likely to come into force from 2015-16.
The council recently came up with a new regulation called NCTE (Recognition Norms and Procedure) Regulation, 2014, which was published in the Government of India Gazette on December 1.
As per the new regulation, the B Ed and MEd have been recognised as a professional course with duration of two academic years, which can be completed in a maximum of three year from the date of admission. There shall not be more than 25 students per teacher and candidates with at least 50 per cent marks will only be eligible for admission to the programme.
Currently, BEd and MEd programmes are offered as one-year course in Tamil Nadu as well as in the other states.
