PROBLEM As per NCTE Regulations, 2014 most of the Teachers
Training Institution of West Bengal will be able to teach only one
basic unit of 50 students for the coming academic session 2015-16
(for B.Ed). In that case, the total number of pass out student
teachers will be approximately 50 % of the previous academic
session. Besides in the academic session 2016-17 no trained
teachers will come out as because the regular B.Ed course will be
of two years duration. As per RTE Act, 2009 after 31.03.2015 it is
not possible to recruit any untrained teachers in the upper primary
and secondary schools of West Bengal. So a huge gap will be created
between the demand and supply of the human resources in respect to
recruitment of teachers in Schools of West Bengal. PROBLEM As per

Slide 23
Proposed Action : So to cope up with the situation, Higher
Education Deptt. may intimate to the NCTE Authority that we will
like to start the regular B.Ed & M.Ed course for 2 years from
the coming academic session i.e. from 2015-16 following NCTE
Regulations, 2014 with revised Curriculum and evaluation pattern.
Higher Education Deptt. may take initiative to form a uniform
curriculum for B.Ed/ M.Ed, B.P.Ed / M.P.Ed courses in the light of
NCTE Regulations, 2014. Two committees (one for B.Ed & M.Ed
curriculum and another for B.P.Ed & M.P.Ed curriculum) may be
formed for the said purposes.
Slide 24
We may also request the Chairperson, NCTE [vide item No.12
(power to relax) of NCTE (Recognition Norms and Procedure)
Regulations, 2014 published in The Gazette of India: Extraordinary,
Part III, Sec-4, dated 01.12.2014] to allow B.Ed Colleges to admit
100 students in 1 st year with existing teaching faculty (1+7) and
existing infrastructure for the coming Academic Session (2015-16).
Proposed Action :

rates (Endowment Fund Rs.5.00 lakh Rupees / programme /unit &
Reserve Fund Rs. 7.00 Lakh Rupees / programme /unit) in respect of
the programme for which it has not maintained the two funds. In
respect of the existing programme(s), if Endowment Fund and Reserve
Fund have already been maintained, the Institutions shall not be
required to deposit the balance with the Bank in the form of a FDR.
If an Institution is running two programmes and it has FDRs for
Rs.8.00 lakhs, it shall be required to obtain FDRs for Rs.12.00
lakhs for the second programme. Additional Reserve Fund: If an
existing recognized institution has not maintained the Endowment

PROPOSED ACTION The Self-financing Institutions may be
requested to take the necessary initiative to meet up the above
criterion regarding additional built up area, additional
infrastructure, additional staff and additional Reserve Fund per

Institutions, State Government may take initiative for additional
built up area and additional infrastructure.
Slide 29
But to appoint additional staff in Govt. and Govt.-aided
college there are several steps need to be followed subject to
approval from the Higher Authority: Collection of necessary
information regarding existing staff pattern, vacancy list and new
posts to be created for satisfying the NCTE regulations, 2014 from
different Teachers Training Colleges of West Bengal. Determination
of financial liability of the State Government for creation of
these new posts. Necessary ratification for change of the
nomenclature of the existing posts. But to appoint additional staff

Creation of the new teaching and non-teaching posts on the

Slide 31
We need at least 12 to 18 months time to complete the process.
Besides both for the Government and Govt.-aided Colleges, State
Government already formulated the recruitment rules following the
then NCTE & UGC regulations and the process is ongoing for
recruitment of teaching faculties including the Principals. So

Authority to recruit the academic faculties following the already
published recruitment rules till January 2016, so that in between
we can take necessary steps for recruitment of the staff following
NCTE Regulations, 2014 after necessary clarification.

EXEMPTION OF ENDOWMENT FUND In the NCTE Regulations, 2014 there
is no mention of exemptions regarding deposition of Endowment Fund

by them at present. Under the existing system similar provision for
exemption of Endowment Fund and Reserve Fund may be made for Govt.
and Govt.-aided Institution by NCTE with the intervention of Higher
Education Department, Govt. of West Bengal.
Slide 33
Each Teachers Training Institution is instructed by the NCTE
Authority to take the necessary action to comply with the NCTE
