The importance of NIOS - PDPET 6 months' bridge course rose sky-high after the HRD ministry directed that the teachers teaching primary students should compulsory have the D.EL.ED. by March 2022. If they do not get embraced with the degree, they would lose their jobs. The Union Government has issued notification for the state governments and has asked to ensure that all untrained teachers have registered themselves for the diploma course of NIOS.
The NIOS - PDPET 6 Months’ Bridge Course is no less than a boon for the in-service teachers who teach in primary school as 1 to 5 Class teachers. The National Council for Teachers' Education has mooted this course to ease the burden of doing an 18-month-long Diploma in Elementary Education for the teachers of today.
