Correct answer: (A) 1995
Explanation

It was given powers to regulate and maintain standards in teacher education across the country.
The year 1993 marks the passing of the Act, not the setting up of the statutory Council.
The year 1994 falls between the Act and the Council's establishment and marks neither.

Before becoming statutory, the NCTE had existed since 1973 as an advisory body.
