Bhagwan Budha ... vs State Of Bihar & Ors

The Supreme Court ruled that after the enactment of the National Council for Teacher Education Act, 1993, only the NCTE has the authority to grant recognition to teacher training colleges, thereby invalidating any state-level recognition. The Court held that students from unrecognized institutions cannot be permitted to appear for teacher examinations, emphasizing the necessity of compliance with the NCTE Act for legitimacy. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, reinforcing the statutory framework established by the NCTE Act.
