TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMME – 2024

To excel in a subject, a thorough conceptual understanding goes a long way. Students’ competence can be measured accurately by testing their micro and macro level understanding of the subject. Nalanda established a system to assess these capabilities at regular intervals through the semester system, introduced in the academic year 2008-2009. It divides the curriculum into two halves, and the tests judge the students’ assimilation of the concepts at both the grass-root and the bird’s eye view level.
