Apart from the revamping of D.Ed course in Andhra Pradesh, the state government has rolled out a plan to implement an Aadhaar-based biometric system in the private D.Ed colleges. The biometric system is already prevalent in government DIET colleges. Based on the biometric attendance of students, the government will prepare a list of students eligible for fee reimbursement.
