The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) is an Indian government legal entity established under the National Council for Teacher Education, 1993 (# 73, 1993) in 1995 is to formally oversee standards, procedures and processes in the Indian education system. The Council functions for both the central government and the state government in all matters relating to Teacher Education and its Secretariat is located in the Teacher Education Department and the National Education Research and Training Agency (NCERT). Despite its successful education function, it faces difficulties in ensuring the maintenance of teacher education standards and preventing an increase in the number of under-standard teacher institutions in the country.

History
Prior to 1995, the NCTE had existed since 1973 as a government advisory body (and not as a separate institution) to maintain the development and advancement of "teacher education". NCTE was then just a department of the National Education Research and Training Agency. In accordance with the recognition of NCTE itself, it fails in its objective to ignore and, to some extent, regulate norms and processes in teacher education in India due to lack of formal jurisdiction. To that end, the National Education Policy, 1986 allows the establishment of government authorities with formal power.
