Teacher education courses regulated by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) witnessed one of the highest response rates among all programmes, with over 50,000 admissions secured against 58,000 available seats.

Postgraduate admissions are also progressing, with more than 48,000 students already admitted. The registration window for the PG CLC round closed on Thursday, with over 25,000 fresh registrations recorded. DHE revised the PG admission schedule following directions from the high court. Applicants for subjects outside the major-minor format will receive interview notifications with details of date, time, and venue by July 14. Interviews will be held between July 16 and 17, with colleges entering the marks on the admission portal soon after. PG seat allotment will be released on July 21, and selected students must complete fee payment between July 21 and 25 to confirm their admission. "The CLC round concluded with encouraging numbers, and a substantial number of students also registered for PG programmes," said Dr Tulsiram Dahayat, officer on special duty, DHE. With nearly half the seats still vacant after three rounds of counselling, another round of admissions is likely to follow to ensure maximum seat utilisation.
