The Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) is India's landmark 4-year dual-degree undergraduate programme, blending deep subject expertise with professional teacher training under the National Education Policy 2020.
Approved by NCTE (National Council for Teacher Education) | Mandated under NEP 2020 | Effective from Academic Year 2023–24
Designed to replace the traditional B.Ed route, ITEP integrates subject knowledge with pedagogical training into a seamless 4-year experience—saving one year and creating more holistic, capable teachers.
ITEP is a dual-degree programme that simultaneously awards a Bachelor's degree in Arts, Science, or Commerce alongside a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed). It is a fully integrated curriculum where subject specialisation and teaching methodology run concurrently across four years.
This programme is offered at select Multidisciplinary Education and Research Universities (MERUs) and Central Universities across India, ensuring access to quality teacher education in every region of the country.
ITEP offers three primary degree tracks, each combining rich subject expertise with full professional teacher training credentials.
An integrated 4-year programme combining humanities and social sciences with professional teaching methodology, preparing educators for middle and secondary school levels.
Merges rigorous STEM foundations with evidence-based pedagogy, producing science teachers equipped to inspire curiosity and critical thinking in the next generation.
Develops commerce educators with deep knowledge in accountancy, business studies, and economics, combined with modern classroom pedagogical skills and practice.
A carefully sequenced curriculum building from foundational studies through advanced specialisation and full-time school internship experience.
ITEP admissions are conducted through a national entrance process. Check the criteria below to confirm your eligibility.
Hear from students who chose ITEP and are building meaningful careers as educators across India.
ITEP gave me something the traditional B.Ed never could—I learned to teach physics while actually deepening my own understanding of it. The integration is seamless and incredibly powerful.
The school internship from the very second year changed my perspective entirely. I was in a real classroom with real children, not just reading about pedagogy in textbooks. Truly transformative.
As a commerce teacher today, I look back and realize ITEP's integrated approach saved me a year while making me a far more confident and competent educator than my colleagues.
