NCTE

B.Ed bugs

The NCTE's major failure has been its inability to regulate the spurious institutions that run teacher training courses by violating the rules. This has created the problem of recognition, nowhere perhaps as acutely as in Bengal where there have been, right from the beginning, the maximum number of institutions operating without the necessary affiliation of the NCTE.
