NIOS DElEd Supreme Court Judgement for Primary Teacher Post

NIOS DElEd Supreme Court Judgement for Primary Teacher Post has been released. Supreme Court of India declared that candidates with NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) DElEd qualifications are not eligible for Primary Teacher positions. As the KVS Primary Teacher Result 2023 was released on 28 November 2023, candidates have to wait for the revised KVS PRT Result 2023.

The Supreme Court, in a recent ruling arising from the Jaiveer Singh vs. State of Uttarakhand & Ors. Case, stated that the NIOS DElEd program is a distance learning course and does not provide the same level of training as traditional teacher training programs. The court further noted that not all state governments recognize this qualification, and this may create challenges for candidates seeking employment in different states.
