A Brief Introduction Khalsa College of Education, Ranjit Avenue, Amritsar has its
roots in the main Khalsa College (Estb. in 1892), Amritsar. Khalsa
College Society, Amritsar came into being as registered educational
society under Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860. It was registered
in the office of The Registrar of Joint Stock Companies, Punjab on
April 14, 1892. Under the administration of this 122 years old historic
society, 12 colleges and 05 schools are working successfully. Khalsa
College of Education, G. T. Road, Amritsar was established in July
1954 and at present it has become a premiere Teacher Education
Institute of India providing research and teaching facilities for PGDCA
(T.E.), B.Ed., M.Ed. and Ph.D. in Education. Inspired by the mega
success of this institution, the historic Khalsa College Society (Regd.)
in its resolution No. 240, dated August 05, 2004 resolved to establish
Khalsa College of Education at Ranjit Avenue, Amritsar in
commemoration of the Golden Jubilee celebrations of Khalsa College
of Education, Amritsar with the objective of preparing professional and
efficient teachers with dynamic personalities for the growth of the
society and nation. The college was visualized over a sprawling
campus of 15.7 acres which was allotted to Khalsa College Society,
Amritsar by the Amritsar Improvement Trust, Amritsar. The Punjab
Government very graciously granted N.O.C. vide memo No.
14/122/2004-3 Edu. 1/27379 dated December 28, 2004. This paved the
way of this new college of education from the session 2005-06 with an
intake of 100 B.Ed. aspirants. Northern Regional Committee, Jaipur

A-EXECUTIVE SUMMARY-SWOT ANALYSIS
Khalsa College Society, Amritsar was established in the year 1892 with the objective to spread
education among masses and prepare responsible citizens. Various institutions were opened to
strive towards excellence in education by responding to changing needs and expectations of the
society. Khalsa College of Education, Ranjit Avenue, Amritsar was established in 2005 with the
aim to provide quality teacher education. In addition to providing facilities for the degree of
B.Ed. and M.Ed., the college also runs diploma course in PGDCA (Teacher Education). Keeping
in pace with the demands of the global job market, our institution is planning to introduce three
courses viz. PG Diploma in Early Childhood Care and Education, Certificate course in Early
Childhood Care and Education and Certificate course in Human Rights and Duties Education.
The college has been producing a number of UGC - NET/JRF qualified candidates every year.
As the college has been granted recognition by the UGC under section 2(f) and 12 (b) of UGC
Act, 1956. So the college has applied for a grant of Rs 2 crore to UGC for women hostel in the
campus for students. The college has also applied for a grant of Rs 20, 20,000 to UGC for
development of laboratories. The college faculty has applied for one major and six minor
research projects to address social and academic issues and contribute to the existing funds of
knowledge.
Extensive use of ICT, Audio-Visual Aids, Power Point presentation, CD-ROMs, Trans-
parencies, Models and Charts enhance the process of curriculum planning and transaction. Such
use and application of ICT technology in Curriculum Design, Planning and Executions has
helped to build an instructional resource material centre for the B.Ed. and M.Ed. students.
Since our institution is affiliated to Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU), Amritsar, it is
mandatory for us to follow the curriculum developed and prescribed by the said university. For
the development and revision of the curriculum, the teachers teaching in colleges of education
affiliated to GNDU, Amritsar are involved. Meetings for curriculum design are held at regular
intervals. As per NCTE guidelines regarding formulation of new B.Ed. and M.Ed. syllabi,
GNDU, Amritsar was the first university in India to take the initiative of formulating B.Ed. and
M.Ed. syllabi. In the session 2009-10, the Board of Studies in Education (UG & PG) in its
meeting dated July 22, 2010 decided to re-frame syllabi of M.Ed. & B.Ed. courses on the basis of
NCFTE, 2009 guidelines. As per the decision of the Board of Studies in Education (U.G & P.G.)
dated July 22, 2010 and subsequent endorsement by the Faculty of Education dated August 17,
2010, teacher training institutions were to formulate M.Ed. & B.Ed. syllabi for the session 2011-
12 as per NCTE guidelines. For this purpose, two workshops on curriculum revision for both
B.Ed. & M.Ed. were organized by Khalsa College of Education, Ranjit Avenue, Amritsar on 30-
31 August, 2010 and September 16 -17, 2010 under the farsighted vision of Dr. S.P.K. Dhillon,
Principal of the college and Dean, Faculty of Education, GNDU, Amritsar. Subject experts,
principals and teacher educators from various teacher training institutions affiliated to GNDU,
Amritsar actively participated in the workshops and finalized the syllabi of B.Ed. and M.Ed. and
this has been implemented from the session 2011-12.
In the first workshop, curriculum was formulated and a detailed outline was worked out and in
the second workshop evaluation was done and critical comments were recorded. In the light of
the above workshops, a two day national level Orientation Progamme for Teacher Educators was
organized on September 30 and October 01, 2010 by Khalsa College of Education, Ranjit
-
Avenue, Amritsar. In this seminar Dr. Ajaib Singh Brar, Vice Chancellor, Guru Nanak Dev
University, Amritsar acted as the President and Chief Guest on this occasion was Dr.
Mohammad Akhtar Siddiqi, Chairperson NCTE. Dr. S.P. Dhillon, Principal of the college and
Dean, Faculty of Education, GNDU, Amritsar and the lecturers of the college were the members
of the committee for the development and revision of curriculum. The members of the college
faculty played an active role in the planning and framing of curricula for these courses. Paper -
wise discussions were held to design the curriculum according to the guidelines given by the
NCFTE, 2009. The eminent authorities in the field of education like Prof. A.K.Sharma (Former
Director, NCERT), Prof. S.P. Malhotra (National Fellow, NUEPA), Prof. V.Sudhakar (CIEFL,
University of Hyderabad), Prof. Moraddhwaj Varma (University of Lukhnow), Prof. Poonam
Batra (University of Delhi), Prof. Vibha Joshi (IGNOU), Dr. Renu Nanda (University of Jammu)
also gave their presentations during this orientation programme and practical strategies for
implementing the curriculum were worked out.
After implementing the revised curriculum in the year 2011-12, a few suggestions were given by
the teacher educators of different teacher training institutions affiliated to GNDU, Amritsar. To
discuss these suggestions, a meeting in the office of Dean, Faculty of Education, GNDU,
Amritsar was held on 22 August, 2012 and concerned teacher educators were invited. Four of
our faculty members Dr. Surinder Kaur, Dr. Gagandeep Kaur, Dr. Navdeep Kaur and Mrs.
Satnam Kaur attended the meeting. Decisions taken in the meeting were incorporated in the
syllabi by the GNDU, Amritsar.
To have semantic and pragmatic relevance of curriculum, holistic approach has been adopted in
the curriculum by the college in order to cater to:
- the local and global needs of the prospective teachers.
- the present and future needs of the prospective teachers.
Thus, despite the limited freedom given by the parent university in terms of curriculum planning
and design, our institution has made every possible effort to enrich the existing curriculum by
initiating a variety of experiential learning opportunities that would help to translate its mission
statement and goals into reality. The threads of the vision and goals of the college are reflected in
all thrust areas of the college life.
The academic session of the college begins with the organization of familiarization session to
orientate the students with the functioning of the college with a view to facilitate their adjustment
in the college. Every student is provided with a copy of handbook of information. During this
programme each student is allotted a tutorial group and a house. In the tutorial groups, the
students are asked to introduce themselves, so as to assess their language, communicative
abilities, aptitude towards teaching, their talents/hobbies and value concepts for making focus
groups. This helps us to assess their diverse backgrounds and needs. Students are given current
topics/issues for group discussion (ice-breaking session) to assess their thinking skills. Moreover,
these tutorials also help us to hunt the talent among the students. On the basis of this information,
students are categorized into focused groups. Moreover the teachers eschew all caste, community
and class considerations in dealing with students. Besides this, to retain the students with diverse
backgrounds the institution also provides the various facilities to facilitate their adjustment in the
institution.
Khalsa College of Education, Ranjit Avenue, Amritsar makes efforts to provide a conducive
environment for learning and development. The college bears a stamp of superior quality on it.

2. Allotment of schools for Teaching Practice.
The students are allotted schools keeping in mind the following considerations:
a) Medium of instruction of prospective teachers b) Subject combination c) Academic background of prospective teachers d) Accommodating capacity and subject wise requirement of the schools e) Supervisor- prospective teacher ratio is 1:10
3. Sending list of prospective teachers to the co-operative schools
4. Instructions to the prospective teachers regarding teaching practice

prospective teachers regarding:
a) Duration of teaching practice b) Objectives of teaching practice c) Number of lessons to be delivered d) Daily stay in the school e) Type of duties to be performed f) Collection of time table and syllabi from the concerned teachers in advance g) Type of behaviour to be exhibited by them (Dress code, Professional ethics)
5. Arranging meeting with the Head of the institution and the subject teacher to acclimatize the
students with the school ethos and for seeking guidance to teach their respective
subjects and long term teaching practice. The ratio of student teachers to practice teaching
schools is approximately 10:1 and one mentor accompanies them.
The institution uses the following approaches/models of teaching for ensuring effective
teaching:
Concept Attainment Model by Bruner Inductive Thinking Model by Taba
The institution encourages the students to respect and appreciate individual and cultural
differences and generate constructive exchange of ideas to make the learning environment
more assessable and supportive. The various practices adopted in the college for this purpose
are:

competitions, art competition and exhibition, sports day etc.
The institution carries out various activities with the help of computer like development of
scientific and objective criteria for evaluation of micro-teaching skills and TAB (Teaching
Assessment Battery) for evaluation of macro-lessons (composite lessons). Regular class tests,
unit tests and monthly tests for providing feedback for further improvement are conducted.
Teachers performance is assessed by the students with the help of feedback proforma. Monthly report of students attendance and their class performance is submitted by the teachers and is evaluated by the college Principal. School subject teachers are also involved
