Abstract Quality education depends upon the quality of teachers. Teacher education plays an important role in the development of quality education. The National Council for Teacher’s Education has the responsibility to continuously strive for improving the quality of teachers’ education in the country. It is essential to have a professional attitude towards any profession. My objective of this paper is to compare the professional attitude of M.Ed. students towards the teaching profession. It is a survey study. The normative survey research method is used. “Teaching attitude inventory” by S.P. Ahluwalia is used for the research. The test is administered on the sample of 100 M.Ed. students of governmentaided & self-financed colleges. The mean scores are considered and the ‘t’ value is calculated to find the difference in the professional attitude of M.Ed. students of government-aided & self-financed colleges towards the teaching profession. Findings are that M.Ed. students (male & female) belonging to aided & self-financed institutions do not differ significantly in their professional attitudes.

It is the primary duty of the government to provide education to every citizen of the country. But the economic constraints and the ever-increasing demand for education from every section of the population imposed the governments to look for new strategies to meet the demand. To facilitate access to education to the masses without increasing the financial burden Copyright © 2022, Scholarly Research Journal for Interdisciplinary Studies
