Pre Primary & Primary School

To qualify under NCTE norms, a teacher-training institute must hold valid NCTE recognition or affiliation. You should check the official NCTE website's list of approved institutions or contact the institute to produce the recognition order they received. If the institute is missing from NCTE's current list, its NTT certification may not be valid for teaching recruitment in government or public schools that mandate NCTE-approved credentials. Always verify with school authorities or state education department before enrolling for further studies or applying for teaching posts.

In order to obtain your NTT certificate from Akhil Bharatiya Prem Devi Shikshan Prashikshan Sansthan, Kanpur (which we got in 1998) you should put in a direct call to the institute with information like your full name, the year of your pass out, name of the course, and any of your documents which you may have at your disposal like mark sheets or ID proof; if they ask for it put in a written application and pay the reissue fee, also out at that the institute was affiliated to any recognised board or council which may be required for additional verification.

There is always confusion among a lot of people regarding primary and preschools. Through this answer let's try to understand it a little better, preschool or pre-primary focuses on children aged between 3- 6 years of age. It helps children to learn and evolve by helping them at their foundation stage. On the other hand, primary focuses on children aged between 6 - 12 years of age. The children under this age group are a little older than the preschool ones.

Pre Primary Teachers deal with children belonging to the age group of 3- 6 years. There are a lot of good courses to become a PPTT teacher. Mentioned below are a few courses that are considered best for PPTT:

• D.El.Ed/ Basic Training Certificate
• Graduation with 1-year B.Ed
• Diploma Course in Nursery Teacher Training

Of Course, ECCE is a very useful qualification if you plan to work with:

• Anganwadi centers (run by the Ministry of Women & Child Development)
• Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS)
• Balwadis under NGOs
• Foundation schools under Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan
• Government recruitment often looks for candidates with ECCE/child development background especially for supervisory roles.

Also, after ECCE you can appear for relevant state-level or central government teacher eligibility exams (depending on guidelines).

No, NPTT itself is not regulated by NCTE (National Council for Teacher Education) unlike D.El.Ed. or B.Ed. But many private schools accept NPTT qualified teachers especially in Delhi NCR, Tier-2 cities, Private chains like Kidzee, EuroKids, Bachpan, etc. It is advised to always check if your training institute is approved by SCERT or affiliated to a reputed board.
