The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasizes integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into teaching practices to enhance the learning experience. This study investigates the extent of ICT integration in teaching plans by Pre-service teachers at the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. A survey comprising Likert scale questions was conducted, receiving 49 responses from Pre-service teachers currently pursuing a Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed). The study aims to assess their confidence, frequency of use, perceived effectiveness, institutional support, and alignment with NEP 2020 goals. Findings reveal that 81.6% of Pre-service teachers are confident in using ICT tools, and 85.8% believe ICT enhances student engagement. However, only 20.4% receive comprehensive institutional support for ICT infrastructure and training. These insights underscore the need for enhanced training and resources to fully realize the benefits of ICT integration in education.
