The correct answer is

NIEPA

The question asks about the apex institution in India responsible for training educational planners and administrators. Let's analyze the given options:

  1. NCTE (National Council for Teacher Education): This organization is tasked with overseeing and regulating teacher education programs in India but does not specifically focus on training educational planners and administrators.
  2. NIEPA (National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration): NIEPA is a premier institution focusing on research, capacity building, and training programs in the field of educational planning and management. It specifically aims at developing the skills necessary for educational planners and administrators. Given this context, NIEPA is aptly suited as the apex institution in this domain.
  3. NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training): NCERT primarily deals with curriculum development, educational research, and providing resources for school education, rather than focusing on the training of educational administrators.
  4. SCERT (State Council of Educational Research and Training): This is usually a state-level body similar to NCERT, focusing on school education and teacher training within respective states, and not specifically on training educational planners and administrators.

From the explanation above, the correct answer is NIEPA as it is the specialized institution recognized for training educational planners and administrators.
