In alignment with the visionary reforms outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Dr. B.K.B. College, Puranigudam, is proud to announce the introduction of the four-year Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) (BA B.Ed) from the academic session 2025–26. This innovative programme, developed and regulated by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), aims to transform teacher education by integrating general education with professional training.
ITEP is a four-year dual-degree course (BA B.Ed), designed to offer a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to teacher education. The programme integrates academic knowledge and pedagogy with practical school-based experiences, preparing student-teachers to cater to learners across all levels of school education—namely Foundational, Preparatory, Middle, and Secondary stages, as outlined in the 5+3+3+4 curricular structure of NEP 2020. By streamlining the curriculum, ITEP aims to enhance the quality of teacher education and create educators who are ready to excel in both elementary and secondary classrooms. The advantage of this course (BA B.Ed) is that it permits them to finish their dual degree within four years instead of five years and make them qualified for teaching profession.

College, Puranigudam has proposed to introduce a one-unit, four-year Integrated BA-B.Ed. programme (Secondary stage) with an intake capacity of 50 students from the academic session 2025–26.
