He exuded faith that IITE will prove as model for best teachers producing institute.

Speaking to the curriculum experts committee, principals and faculty members of various universities, Chief Minister said that he envisages a great demand for the pass-out of IITE as it is the case with IITs and IIMs. IITE will prove as a live laboratory, experimenting in preparing the teachers of tomorrow, he said.

IITE, a pioneering initiative to redefine the field of education, offers 4 years Integrated BSC/BA & B.Ed and 6 years MSc/MA & M.Ed programmes for the first time in India. The IITE aims to create and nurture transformational teachers.

The uniqueness of this university is its ground-breaking Curriculum, with a wide variety of subjects, life oriented skills and a great deal of flexibility and freedom. It has been developed by national and international experts, around a choice-based credit system, with a focus on synthesizing holistic and active learning.

On this occasion, Hon'ble CM expressed confidence that this Institute will lend a totally new dimension to the art and science of teaching.

This will, eventually, regain the respect of teachers in the society. Minister of State for Higher Education, Pro.
