Questions

Which syllabus does this course follow?

It follows the NCTE 2014 based two-year B.Ed scheme followed by UP state universities (CCSU, MJPRU, CSJMU, Lucknow University and others). Where your own university's syllabus differs, the centre teaches your university's units and papers.

Will this help in TET / CTET too?

Yes. Many TET / CTET pedagogy and inclusion questions come from the same ideas.

Do I learn Braille or sign language here?

Only an introduction. The course focuses on how a regular teacher supports such learners with help from special educators.
