What is the PRT Exam?

Primary Teacher is the PRT teacher full form. Primary teachers or elementary teachers teach students from kindergarten to fifth grade, i.e., classes 1 to 5. Those who wish to become Primary Teachers must hold a Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed). This two-year diploma program can be pursued as a full-time classroom training program or a distance learning program. 

The diploma generally consists of four semesters and prepares a candidate to become a primary school teacher. Diplomas in Elementary Education are offered by many government and private institutions across the country. 

It is not new that the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) is regarded as one of the best institutions for this course. There is a two-year diploma program in Elementary Education with a challenging and innovative curriculum. A candidate must have passed the 10+2 or equivalent examination with a minimum of 50 percent in aggregate to be considered for admission to a D.El.Ed. Program.
