NCERT begins registrations for its 40-week online Diploma Course in Teaching of Science at the middle stage on October 12, 2026. The course targets teachers who teach science to students in Classes 6 to 8 and runs until November 12 for applications. Classes are scheduled to start on November 16.
The programme is described as focusing on strengthening teachers’ subject knowledge and improving classroom pedagogy and teaching practices. Across outlets, the announcements emphasize that the course is conducted online and is designed specifically for the middle-stage science curriculum.
While the coverage aligns on the core details—registration opening date, course scope for Classes 6–8, application window, and the start of classes—some outlets focus more generally on the start of registration, while others highlight the course duration and learning goals. One report also directs potential applicants to check eligibility and course fee details, though these specific parameters are not consistently detailed across the provided sources.
