Completing 50 hours of training on DIKSHA doesn’t automatically satisfy your CBSE training requirement — a distinction that catches many teachers off guard each academic year. CBSE explicitly treats its own Training Portal targets and broader platforms like DIKSHA, NISHTHA, and PM eVidya as separate, non-interchangeable tracks, with only a capped portion of the latter counting toward your school’s overall “Inhouse Training” tally — not your specific CBSE target.
CBSE Training Portal — 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.
Quick Answer: Portal: cbseit.in/cbse/training Mandatory components: Domain 1 (6 hours, generic) + Domain 2 (12 hours, Core Subject CBP) — both must be booked specifically through this portal Critical rule: DIKSHA/NISHTHA/PM eVidya online sessions do NOT count toward your CBSE-specific target — maximum 3 hours from these count only toward separate “Inhouse Training,” a distinct, non-interchangeable category Certificate: Digitally signed, downloadable from your dashboard after course completion
⭐ The Distinction Most Teachers Miss — CBSE Target vs Inhouse Training
Per CBSE’s own 2025-26 session guidelines, these are two distinct, non-interchangeable targets:
| Target Type | What Counts | Where to Book |
|---|---|---|
| CBSE Component (mandatory) | Domain 1 (6 hrs generic) + Domain 2 (12 hrs Core Subject CBP) | Must be booked through CBSE Training Portal specifically |
| Inhouse Training | School-conducted training (e.g., Ethics & Integrity, 12 hrs counts as 6 hrs Inhouse) | Conducted at school level |
| DIKSHA/NISHTHA/PM eVidya online sessions | Maximum 3 hours counts toward Inhouse Training only | Does NOT count toward CBSE target at all |
If you’re relying on DIKSHA courses to fulfill your CBSE training requirement, you’re likely falling short — these tracks are explicitly kept separate by CBSE’s own policy.

Common Problems + Fix
“Completed DIKSHA training — thought it covered my CBSE requirement”: It doesn’t fully. DIKSHA/NISHTHA/PM eVidya sessions count toward “Inhouse Training” (capped at 3 hours), not your mandatory CBSE Domain 1/Domain 2 target. Book those specifically through cbseit.in/cbse/training.
“Forgot password, can’t login”: Use the “Forgot Password” option on the login page, or contact your regional CBSE centre if self-service reset fails.
“Certificate not showing despite attending the session”: Confirm you’ve submitted the post-session feedback form — certificates are often gated behind feedback completion.
“School code mismatch during registration”: Verify your exact affiliation number with your school administration before retrying, or contact your regional CBSE centre for correction.
“Missed a live session — will I still get the certificate?”: Generally no — live attendance is typically required for certification; check the specific course’s policy on makeup sessions if available.
FAQ
Does completing DIKSHA training fulfill my CBSE training requirement? Not fully — DIKSHA/NISHTHA/PM eVidya sessions count toward a separate “Inhouse Training” category (capped at 3 hours), not your CBSE-specific Domain 1/Domain 2 target.
What are Domain 1 and Domain 2 in CBSE training? Domain 1 is 6 hours of generic training; Domain 2 is 12 hours of Core Subject CBP (Continuous Professional Development) — both mandatory, booked specifically through the CBSE Training Portal.
Where do I register for CBSE teacher training? cbseit.in/cbse/training — click “Register for Teacher Training Program.”
How do I download my training certificate? Login to the portal → “My Certificates” or “Completed Trainings” → select the course → “Download Certificate (PDF).”
Is the CBSE Training Portal the same as DIKSHA? No — they’re separate platforms with separate login systems and separate (non-interchangeable) training-hour targets.

Treating CBSE Training Portal hours and DIKSHA/Inhouse hours as two genuinely separate tracks — rather than assuming one substitutes for the other — is what keeps teachers from discovering a shortfall right before an audit or promotion review.
If you’re a CBSE-affiliated teacher, register and complete your Domain 1 and Domain 2 requirements specifically through cbseit.in/cbse/training, and treat any DIKSHA or NISHTHA courses you’ve taken as a separate, additional credential — not a substitute.
