The institution aims at empowering the student teachers with the professional and social competencies to compete with the challenging world. The synergetic efforts of management, teaching staff, non-teaching staff and students, who have been working as a team with an excellent cooperation and zeal, proved as a great boon for this institution to grow from stature to strength in the pursuit of knowledge and excellence.

For more than four decades the State College of Teacher Education, Kohima has stoically withstood the test of time. The demands of the changes brought about in education field/system time and again, at the school level and thereby in teacher education have been tough. But, we have embraced such changes and adapted to the times with ease…the battle was not as much as winning but conquering the arena of the mind. The College always has and continues to believe to ‘go against the flow’ and this is the secret of its survival.
The difference between this institution and others lie in our belief that change can be brought about by what others observe in and about us, touching the core aspiration of a teacher; not numbers or grades!
