Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed)

The Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed) is a 2-year full-time diploma program approved by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE). It is the minimum qualification required for teaching at the elementary level (Classes 1–8) in government schools across India, as mandated by the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009.
