Which course should I choose to become teacher after 12th class in DU, ITEP or integrated BA B.Ed program??

Hello,

If you want to become a teacher after 12th class in DU, the best option is the Integrated Teacher Education Program (ITEP). It is a 4-year course offering dual degrees in BA/BSc/BCom + B.Ed, making you eligible for teaching jobs faster than the Integrated BA B.Ed program, which is available in other universities. ITEP is NEP 2020-aligned, NCERT-approved, and a better choice for future teaching careers.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you

I'm in delhi university pursuing eng hons and my general elective subject is political science can I pursue political in my post graduation? And what is the syllabus?

Yes, you can definitely pursue a postgraduate degree in Political Science after completing your Engineering Honours from Delhi University, even if you only took it as a General Elective subject; however, you might need to clear any additional entrance exams depending on the specific program and college you choose, and the syllabus will cover core political science topics like political theory, comparative politics, international relations, and Indian government and politics.

Eligibility:

While your General Elective in Political Science opens the door to pursuing a postgraduate degree in the subject, some colleges might have specific eligibility requirements based on your overall academic performance.

To gain admission to a postgraduate Political Science program at Delhi University, you will likely need to appear for the Central University Entrance Test (CUET PG ) and choose the relevant Political Science paper.
