The Govt. College of Teacher Education (CTE), Tezpur, is a premier teacher education institution preparing resourceful teachers for the country. It is located at the heart of Tezpur, near Nikamul Xatra. Tezpur is the cultural hub of Assam. This beautiful town is situated on the north bank of the mighty Brahmaputra River, 180 kms northeast of Guwahati, and boasts of a rich history. It was established in the year 1977 in the premises of Tezpur Academy and was then known as Teachers’ Training College. It was shifted to its present site in December 1984. After twenty years of running the college under the duly constituted Governing Body, the institute was finally taken over by the government on the 27th of February, 1998 and accordingly has been upgraded with the status of CTE. Consequently, the nomenclature was changed from “Teachers’ Training College, Tezpur” to “Govt. College of Teacher Education (CTE), Tezpur”. It runs two parallel courses - B.Ed. and D.El.Ed. It has completed 48 glorious years so far and has been able to achieve flying colors owing to the accomplishment of its trainees.

The institute is a purely government institute and runs two courses parallelly. The B.Ed. course has an intake capacity of 100 and is affiliated to Gauhati University. It is recognized by National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), Bhubaneswar. The D.El.Ed. course has an intake capacity of 50 and is under SCERT, Guwahati.

With over 6000 books, sufficient number of journals and periodicals, the institute can boast of a well-equipped library that has been semi-automated to meet desired standards.

Our motto is: Pranipatena Pariprasnena Sevaya

This motto draws the attention of the trainees to two bees sucking honey from a blooming lotus. The two bees may be compared to the students and the sucking of honey may be likened to the acquisition of knowledge. The students constantly devote themselves to acquire knowledge and skills throughout their tenure at the institute, thereby collecting nectar and enriching their beehives.
