Due to this apparent indifference on the part of the candidates, the state government has garnered 1.34 crore from these candidates, given that the fee is non-refundable, as authorities conceded...

PRAYAGRAJ: Despite a Supreme Court order invalidating BEd as eligibility for primary school teacher recruitment, 70,100 seats for the Diploma in Elementary Education (DElEd) Training of the 2023 session in Uttar Pradesh have been left vacant..

Notably, 2,684 eligible candidates were allocated colleges after paying the requisite 5,000 fee each for participation in the college allotment process..

The court ruled that only DElEd-trained candidates can participate in the primary teachers recruitment process, excluding BEd degree holders..

This decision led to renewed interest in DElEd among aspiring teachers, prompting colleges in Uttar Pradesh, after years of disinterest, to seek affiliation for offering DElEd courses from the 2024-25 academic session..
