Sir

Apropos of the above I would like to recall you that NCTE has been decided that the NIOS will conduct the 6th months Certificate Course (Bridge) in Primary Teacher Education through ODL mode under the following stipulations.

(i) The course will only be meant for those Primary Teachers who had been appointed with B.Ed. degree in accordance with NCTE's notification dated 28.06.2018 and who were in service before the date of Hon'ble Supreme Court's judgment dated 11.08.2023.

(ii) The teachers indicated at point (i) above may avail this one-time opportunity to complete the course as Hon'ble Supreme Court has directed that failure of any candidate to participate and complete the course within time frame, as decided by the educational authorities, will invalidate their appointment.

(iii) The participant teachers shall complete the course within one year of the commencement of course of NIOS.

(iv) Qualifying the Bridge Course will be strictly meant for teachers indicated in point (i) above to protect their existing employment only. This Bridge Course will not be valid for those teachers seeking subsequent employments as Primary teachers.

In this context, I am directed to request you to provide the Board the list of eligible Primary teachers (in Excel Format) for the above mentioned programme, as per enclosed Proforma, within three days.

Yours faithfully

Secretary
