• A well-stocked library

• Functional seminar and meeting halls

• Purpose-built classrooms and labs

• Internship opportunities in nearby schools

Lecturers are encouraged to pursue M.Phil. or Ph.D. studies, thereby contributing to academic depth and the adoption of updated methodologies in teaching.

Eligibility and Admission

Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education (B.Ed.). Those applying for specialization subjects may need to have relevant undergraduate coursework or pass an entrance test, as per TU guidelines.
