Attitude towards the teaching profession is crucial as it affects a teacher’s motivation, classroom behaviors, and interaction with students. A positive attitude fosters enthusiasm, dedication, and effective teaching, enhancing students’ achievement. It also promotes a supportive learning environment, professional growth, and respect for the profession within society. In this context, the National Education Policy (2020) marks a transformative shift in India’s educational landscape, placing teachers at the center of systemic reforms. The paradigm shift has significantly influenced the perceptions and attitudes of teacher trainees towards the teaching profession. The policy undeniably reshaped the contours of teacher education in India, instilling a renewed sense of purpose and professionalism among teacher trainees. Using the descriptive survey, the research collected data from 104 B.Ed. students from East Champaran through a self-developed questionnaire using a probability sampling technique. The researcher also used the content analysis method to know the major recommendations given by NEP-2020 to enhance the teaching profession in India. The finding related to girls and boys both having the same passion towards the teaching profession, and NEP-2020 also recommended several suggestions to improve and enhance the standard of teacher education programmes in India.
