NTRCA to Skip 19th Teacher Registration, Opt for Direct 9th Teacher Recruitment

The Non-Government Teachers’ Registration & Certification Authority (NTRCA) will not publish the 19th Teacher Registration notification. Instead, it will issue a direct 9th Teacher Recruitment notification to fill more than 77,000 vacant teaching positions in non-government educational institutions.
