What is the eligibility for the btc course?

Answer 1

The Basic Training Certificate (BTC) course, now formally recognized as the Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed.), is a teacher training program required to become a primary school teacher in India, especially in states like Uttar Pradesh.

Here is the eligibility criteria for BTC (D.El.Ed.) in most cases, particularly in Uttar Pradesh:

1. Educational Qualification

The applicant must have completed a Bachelor’s Degree in any stream (Arts, Science, or Commerce) from a recognized university.

A minimum of 50% marks in graduation is usually required. Some relaxation (typically 5%) is provided for candidates from reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC/PWD), as per government rules.

2. Age Limit

The age of the candidate should typically be between 18 and 35 years at the time of application.

Reserved category candidates (SC/ST/OBC) may get age relaxation as per government norms.

3. Nationality

The applicant must be an Indian citizen.

For state-level BTC programs (like in Uttar Pradesh), domicile of the state is often required.

4. Entrance Process

In many states, admission to BTC/D.El.Ed. is based on merit, calculated using marks from 10th, 12th, and graduation.

Some states may conduct an entrance examination or use a centralized counseling system for seat allotment.

Additional Notes:

Candidates should ensure that the institution or college is approved by NCTE (National Council for Teacher Education).

Completion of BTC/D.El.Ed. makes candidates eligible to appear for UPTET/CTET, which are essential for government teacher recruitment.

Mahatma Degree College is considered one of the Best Colleges of BTC in Allahabad. You can check their official website for detailed information on admission dates, seat availability, and application forms.
