MMMUT Gorakhpur Launches Integrated Teacher Education Programme for Aspiring Educators
New Teacher Education Opportunity at MMMUT
Students looking to pursue a career in education have exciting news. The Madan Mohan Malaviya University of Technology (MMMUT), Gorakhpur, has received the green light to introduce the Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This innovative course will commence in the upcoming academic year.
🎓 Understanding ITEP
The ITEP is a comprehensive four-year degree program tailored for students eager to enter the teaching field immediately after completing Class 12. Unlike the conventional path, which typically involves three years of undergraduate study followed by two years of B.Ed, this integrated course merges both degrees — BA/B.Sc/B.Com with B.Ed — effectively saving an entire academic year.
Upon completion of the four years, graduates will possess dual degrees and will be fully equipped to teach in schools. This initiative aims to enhance teacher education and facilitate a smoother transition into the teaching profession with improved academic integration.
🏫 Admission Process at MMMUT
This marks the first introduction of ITEP at MMMUT, aligning with NEP 2020’s vision to modernize teacher training across India. Prospective students can apply for this program starting from the 2026 academic session. The curriculum will be well-rounded, incorporating subject-specific knowledge, pedagogy, and professional training, ensuring students build a solid foundation in teaching methodologies.
💡 Advantages of ITEP
One year less than the traditional B.Ed pathway.
Students earn two degrees in four years — one in their selected field (Arts, Science, or Commerce) and another in Education.
Direct admission available post-Class 12.
Early career opportunities in teaching.
In line with NEP 2020 to enhance teacher quality and educational standards.
💰 Fee Structure for ITEP
The fee structure for ITEP at MMMUT is set to be similar to that of its BBA program.
For Hostel Students: ₹80,000 for the first semester and ₹72,000 for the second semester.
For Day Scholars (Non-Hostel Students): ₹82,500 for the first semester and ₹74,500 for the second semester.
📅 Application Timeline
The application process for admissions will kick off in the next academic session (2026). Students who have completed or are currently taking their Class 12 exams will be eligible to apply. Detailed admission notifications and guidelines will soon be available on the university's official website.
🧠 Significance of ITEP
With this initiative, MMMUT joins a growing number of universities offering ITEP, aiming to enhance the efficiency, skill-based training, and time management in teacher education. This program supports India’s objectives under NEP 2020 to cultivate high-quality, professionally trained educators from the onset of higher education.
