Corporate Overview & History
The Uttar Pradesh Diploma in Elementary Education (UP D.El.Ed) is administered by the Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Board (UPBEB), a statutory body under the Department of Basic Education, Government of Uttar Pradesh. Established in 2005, the Board was created to streamline teacher‑training programmes, conduct eligibility examinations, and ensure quality standards for elementary education across the state. The D.El.Ed programme, launched in 2006, replaced the erstwhile B.Ed (Elementary) and is now the primary pathway for aspiring teachers to obtain a two‑year diploma recognised by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE). The Board’s mission is to “empower educators, uplift learning outcomes, and foster inclusive education” throughout Uttar Pradesh, which serves over 200 million residents.
