Abstract Quality in pre-service teacher training programs is paramount for preparing educators to meet the demands of the profession effectively. This study explores pupil-teachers' perceptions of quality across primary teacher training institutions, specifically District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs) and Elementary Teacher Education Institutes (ETEIs), in Balangir Municipality, Odisha. Using a descriptive and quantitative research design, data was collected from 50 pupil-teachers, with 25 each from DIETs and ETEIs, and 25 from the first and second years, utilizing the HEdPERF scale. The analysis revealed that while academic aspects received high ratings, non-academic aspects, access, reputation, and program issues showed areas for improvement. Institution-wise comparisons indicated variations in perceptions across dimensions, with DIETs generally scoring higher. However, no significant differences were found between perception scores of DIETs and ETEIs or between first-year and second-year student-teachers. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to enhance overall program quality and better prepare future educators. Further research is recommended to explore additional variables and extend comparisons to other contexts for a more comprehensive understanding of quality in teacher training institutions.
