The Covid-19 pandemic has shattered the lifestyle, daily routine, and especially the education system of the globe. The academic fraternity has been badly affected by this pandemic. Teacher educators across the different universities in India have been abruptly pushed into the charted online classes since India went into lockdown on March 25, 2020.The traditional teacher training practices created chaos in the online teacher preparation and practice procedures. The first part of this paper focuses on the challenges of teacher educators and prospective teachers during online teacher education programme and the second part envisages the need for an updated curriculum and a few feasible solutions to the problems highlighted.
