Regaining National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) approval for the 11 teacher education centres directly under the University of Calicut is again in focus with the admissions for the B.Ed programme for 2022-23 beginning.
The centres lost their approval in October last year and the authorities have been trying to restore the recognition ever since.
In a letter to the Vice Chancellor, Syndicate member P. Rasheed Ahammed pointed out that unlike previous years, the centres had not been included in the notification for admissions issued by the university. There will be a shortage of 605 seats because of this. He urged the Vice Chancellor to discuss the issue at the Syndicate meeting scheduled for Thursday.
