In a move to ensure transparency and curb possibilities of corruption in the functioning of National Council for Teachers' Education, the government on Thursday launched an eGovernance set up that seeks to end the manual handling of matters relating to recognition of institutes.

On the pattern of AICTE, the government started a new portal of the NCTE. The aspiring institutes will be able to submit their applications and track the progress in processing of their applications from the website.

The website will have hyperlinks to the websites of each individual institutes, which will be asked to give details about their facilities and faculty in the portal.

"This is a step to move towards self-disclosure by institutions about their facilities, courses, faculty and students. The institutes can apply online for recognition," Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal said.
