A lot of teachers finish 50 hours on DIKSHA and assume their CBSE training requirement is covered. It isn’t. CBSE treats its own Training Portal targets and platforms like DIKSHA or NISHTHA as separate tracks — only a small, capped portion of the latter counts toward “Inhouse Training,” not the mandatory CBSE component itself. This distinction catches people every year, usually right before an audit or when the school starts compiling training records for the session.
CBSE Training Portal is the official platform (cbseit.in/cbse/training) for teacher professional development under the Central Board of Secondary Education, fulfilling the National Curriculum Framework’s continuous training mandate.
CBSE Target vs Inhouse Training — What Actually Counts
Per CBSE’s 2025-26 session guidelines, these are explicitly separate, non-interchangeable targets.
| Category | What Counts | Where |
|---|---|---|
| CBSE Component (mandatory) | Domain 1 — 6 hours, generic | Booked through CBSE Training Portal specifically |
| CBSE Component (mandatory) | Domain 2 — 12 hours, Core Subject CBP | Booked through CBSE Training Portal specifically |
| Inhouse Training | School-conducted sessions (e.g., a 12-hour Ethics & Integrity session counts as 6 hours Inhouse) | Conducted at school level |
| DIKSHA / NISHTHA / PM eVidya | Maximum 3 hours counts toward Inhouse Training only — does not touch the CBSE target at all | Online, but doesn’t substitute for portal booking |
If DIKSHA courses are what’s being relied on to fulfill the CBSE requirement specifically, that’s very likely falling short — the two tracks are kept deliberately separate by CBSE’s own policy, and no amount of DIKSHA hours substitutes for the Domain 1 and Domain 2 booking through the actual CBSE portal.
Registering on the Portal
At cbseit.in/cbse/training, “Register for Teacher Training Program” starts things off. Selecting a category — Teacher, Principal, or School — comes first, followed by name, school affiliation number, mobile number, email, and region or city preference. Setting a password and verifying via OTP sent to the registered mobile completes registration.
Keeping the school affiliation number ready and accurate before starting is worth doing — a mismatch here is one of the more common reasons registration gets stuck partway through.
Logging In, Course Content, and Certificates
Logging back in just needs “User Login,” the registered email or mobile with the password, and the captcha. The dashboard covers browsing available programs, registering for Domain 1 or Domain 2 courses, and downloading certificates for anything already completed.
Sessions themselves cover a mix of topics — NEP 2020, classroom assessment techniques, teacher well-being, art-integrated learning, gender sensitivity, digital tools for blended learning — mostly online via Zoom or Google Meet, 1-2 hours per session. Once a course wraps up, “My Certificates” on the dashboard has a “Download Certificate (PDF)” option; it’s digitally signed and valid for official use, including school audits and promotion records.
One thing worth knowing if Core Subject CBP specifically is on the list: CBSE launched a set of new Capacity Building Programmes in late 2025, delivered through a separate portal called Prashikshan Triveni rather than cbseit.in directly, covering subject-specific training for Classes 6-10. If that training isn’t showing up where expected, checking whether it’s actually on Prashikshan Triveni instead is worth doing before assuming it’s missing.
Common Problems
Login issues usually clear up with “Forgot Password”; the regional CBSE centre helps if self-service reset fails. A missing certificate despite attending is often just an unsubmitted post-session feedback form — check that before assuming something’s broken. A school-code mismatch during registration typically needs the exact affiliation number double-checked with school administration, or corrected by the regional centre if the number’s wrong in the system. And a missed live session generally means no certificate for that one, since attendance is usually required live — the course’s own makeup-session policy, where one exists, is the only workaround.
FAQ
Does completing DIKSHA training fulfill my CBSE training requirement? Not fully — DIKSHA, NISHTHA, and PM eVidya sessions count toward a separate Inhouse Training category, capped at 3 hours, not the mandatory CBSE Domain 1/Domain 2 target.
How many hours does the CBSE component actually require? 18 hours total — Domain 1 at 6 hours (generic) plus Domain 2 at 12 hours (Core Subject CBP), both booked specifically through the CBSE Training Portal.
Where do I register for CBSE teacher training? cbseit.in/cbse/training — “Register for Teacher Training Program.”
How do I download my training certificate? Login to the portal, go to “My Certificates” or “Completed Trainings,” select the course, and download the PDF.
Is the CBSE Training Portal the same as DIKSHA? No — separate platforms, separate logins, and separate, non-interchangeable training-hour targets.
For related school registration processes, the CBSE Sports Registration guide covers a different CBSE-affiliated process.
| Purpose | Link |
|---|---|
| CBSE Training Portal | cbseit.in/cbse/training |
| DIKSHA Portal (separate, different counting rules) | diksha.gov.in |
| CBSE Main Site | cbse.gov.in |
DIKSHA and NISHTHA training genuinely is useful on its own, but it isn’t a substitute for the CBSE target — that’s the one thing worth checking before assuming Domain 1 and Domain 2 are already covered. If school training-hour records need compiling for the session, confirming those two specific components were booked and completed through cbseit.in/cbse/training, separately from whatever else was done on DIKSHA, avoids a shortfall showing up later than it should.
