Judgment text excerpt
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 recognition granted by State Governments. 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 in teacher training. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the primacy of the NCTE in regulating teacher education.
