As per the recommendations of National Education Policy, 2020, all stand alone teacher education institutions will be required to convert into multidisciplinary institutions by:

NEP 2020 requires all standalone teacher education institutions to become multidisciplinary by 2030, offering the integrated four-year B.Ed. within larger multidisciplinary colleges and universities.

2025 is too early and matches no NEP milestone for teacher education restructuring.

2035 is the target set for many higher education access and gross enrolment goals, not for converting teacher education institutions.

2040 is the outer horizon by which NEP envisions the whole system reformed, not the specific teacher education deadline.

The four-year integrated B.Ed. is meant to become the minimum qualification for school teaching under the policy.

Teacher education is placed under a single regulator along with the rest of higher education in the NEP design.
