Heyy Valmiki,

One-year professional course to be pursued after graduation: "BEd is a professional course that prepares teachers for upper primary or middle level, secondary and senior secondary classes at the school level, according to the National Council of Teacher Education (NCTE). It is usually a one-year course that can be pursued only after a Bachelors degree. There has been some discussion of the proposal to increase the course duration to two years to ease the very crowded nature of the BEd programme which packs a lot of theory, activities and practicum in a single year.



Eligibility: Most of the institutions require the candidate to have secured a minimum of 50 per cent in graduation. One can also join BEd after doing Masters degree.



Specialised Variants: Also available are specialised variants of BEd, such as BEd (Home Science Education) and BEd Special Education (Mental Retardation) offered by Lady Irwin College of the Delhi University. In addition to a regular BEd, BHU offers a BEd (Special) programme which trains student-teachers to teach children with disabilities. Jamia Millia Islamia (Delhi) has a BEd(Nursery) course which prepares teachers for pre-primary and lower primary levels of schooling. A BEd along with a Bachelors degree qualifies you to become a Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) who can teach up to class 10. And a BEd with a Masters degree makes you eligible to be a Post Graduate Teacher (PGT) who can teach classes 11thand 12th.

I hope this would be helpful for you.

Good luck !!!
