MMMUT Launches Integrated Teacher Education Programme for Aspiring Educators
Exciting News for Future Educators
Students looking to pursue a career in education have received promising news. The Madan Mohan Malaviya University of Technology (MMMUT), Gorakhpur, has been granted approval to initiate the Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This innovative course is set to commence in the upcoming academic year.
🎓 Understanding ITEP
The ITEP is a comprehensive four-year integrated degree program tailored for students eager to embark on a teaching career 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 program merges both degrees — BA/B.Sc/B.Com with B.Ed — effectively saving an entire academic year.
Upon completion of the four-year course, graduates will possess dual degrees and will be fully equipped to enter the teaching profession. This initiative aims to enhance teacher education and facilitate an earlier transition into teaching with improved academic integration.
🏫 Admission Process at MMMUT
This marks the debut of ITEP at MMMUT, aligning with the NEP 2020's objective 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 develop a solid foundation in teaching methodologies.
💡 Advantages of ITEP
Reduces the duration of study by one year compared to the traditional B.Ed pathway.
Offers two degrees within four years — one in the selected field (Arts, Science, or Commerce) and another in Education.
Allows direct admission following Class 12.
Facilitates early career opportunities in teaching.
Supports the NEP 2020 initiative to enhance teacher quality and educational standards.
💰 Fee Structure Overview

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.

🧠 Significance of ITEP
With this initiative, MMMUT joins a growing number of universities offering ITEP, aiming to make teacher education more efficient, skill-oriented, and time-effective. This program aligns with India’s objectives under NEP 2020 to cultivate high-quality, professionally trained educators from the early stages of higher education.
