Khalsa College of Education has its roots in the main Khalsa College, Amritsar. It started its onerous Journey as a B.T. Deptt,. in the year 1954. In 1959, the B.T. Deptt., took the shape of a full fledged independent college and was housed in the present magnificent building, then known as “Patiala House”, a gift from His Highness Maharaja Rajinder Singh Mohinder Bahadhur ruler of Patiala, at his coronation on October 23rd 1890. Initially, there were two units of 100 B.T. students, subsequently one unit of J.B.T. and two more units of B.Ed. students were added.In 1969, J.B.T. class was taken over by the state Govt. and shifted to J.B.T. centre, Verka. In 1969-70, M.Ed. class was added which is functioning satisfactorily till date and is providing teacher educators to this region. In the year 1987-88, G.N.D.U. started M.Phil (Education) class in this college, which was discontinued in 1995-96 with a plea that M.Phil had become irrelevant with the introduction of National Eligibility Test for the recruitment of College teachers. In the year 1991-92, the college took another progressive step and started one year B.Ed. N & E course with graduation as the basic qualification. However, this had to be discontinued in the session 1994-95, as the state Govt. did not recognize this course equivalent to B.Ed.
