Abstract As per NCTE norms, the duration of B.Ed Course has changed from one year to two years to improve the quality of the teacher. NCTE has extended the practice teaching session to 20 weeks. NCTE also included Enhancing Professional Capacities courses like reading and reflecting, yoga and meditation, drama and arts in education, ICT and inclusive school education. But it is a pertinent question to critically evaluate and to identify its advantage and disadvantages. Teachers of B.Ed. College play a major role in implementing this programme and so the investigator feels their perspective on 2 years B.Ed. programme is important. Thereby the investigator decided to conduct a survey of 100 teacher educators from government, aided and unaided B.Ed colleges across Andhra Pradesh. Teaching competency skill includes knowledge, understanding, application and skill. Teachers’ competencies should be redefined when it is needed. A questionnaire on teacher educator’s perspective on 2 years B.Ed. programme and teachers’ competency skill is administered to collect data regarding this. The responses of these teachers will be analysed quantitatively by calculating the percentage of the respondents. Later this response will be analysed qualitatively also. Finally, the paper discusses the teacher’s perspectives and outlines the advantage and disadvantages of NCTE norms making B.Ed as a two year course in Andhra Pradesh and the teaching competency skill of the teachers for two year B.Ed course was also redefined.
