Principal’s Message
It gives me immense pleasure and a feeling of accomplishment to address you as the Principal of this prestigious institution. Under the auspices of our parent institution, Shikshan Prasarak Mandali, Pune Tilak College of Education has been an example of quality teacher education since June 20, 1941, celebrating over eight decades of academic excellence.
Our affiliations with Savitribai Phule Pune University enable us to offer a government-aided B.Ed. program, a self-financed M.Ed. degree, an M.Phil., and a Ph.D. program, all committed to the pursuit of excellence.
With a heritage of 83 years, we also provide self-study courses, 4 MOOCs, and 2 value-added courses along with the University’s programs. In alignment with NEP 2020, we have introduced a Vedic Mathematics course for student-teachers and plan to conduct a Certificate course on the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) for teachers from 2024. Our curriculum transactions are meticulously planned with proper year plans, daily schedules, and our Learning Management System. Our faculty members are highly qualified, greatly experienced and enthusiastic.
Our research department is robust, with 84 scholars awarded Ph.D. degrees, 31 M. Phil., and 102 scholars currently pursuing their doctoral research under the guidance of 22 guides, including 8 associate guides from other colleges. We engage with the community through activities such as street plays, rallies, and poster-making on various social issues, alongside cleanliness drives.
Our campus, enriched with a green environment and sustainable practices like solar energy projects, offers a variety of facilities including hostels, a swimming pool, playground, multipurpose hall, and a well-equipped gymnasium. Our extensive library provides open access to a vast collection of books, journals, and e-resources, enhancing the learning experience. We emphasize human rights, the dignity of labour, and women’s safety through dedicated committees, ensuring a secure and supportive environment for our students.
Driven by a dedication to quality education, Tilak College of Education surpasses the expectations of students, parents, and society. Our results consistently show more than 90% of students achieving top grades, leading to over 80% placement in reputed schools across India. We also provide coaching for exams like SET, NET, PET, CTET, and TAIT, enabling our students to qualify on a large scale.
Our focus has always been on equipping students with the best resources and infrastructure, reinforcing the idea that education is not merely about securing a job but also about fostering future prospects and social responsibility. Our registered alumni association includes teachers, administrators, teacher educators, professors, principals, education officers, and researchers. Our strong academic framework, coupled with a student-friendly atmosphere and employment-oriented programs, prepares future teachers to address real-world challenges.
Thank you for being a part of our illustrious journey.
