Ques. How is the correspondence B.Ed from Kurukshetra University?

● Top Answer By Anupama Mitra on 20 Oct 21

Ans. Apart from IGNOU, no other university offers decent corresponding B.Ed degrees. It is better to join a regular B.Ed course in your nearest possible university or college. Regular B.Ed courses will teach you how to give micro lessons in a school.  Attend classes frequently, if you can’t be present every day. Courses such as B.Ed are best to do in regular mode. Because recommendations of the B.Ed professors, the grade and response of the actual school where you taught, will count.Read more

Ques. Is Burdwan University good for a B.Ed?

● Top Answer By Poushali Bhattacharya on 28 Sept 21

Ans. Burdwan University, at present, has the largest number of B.Ed affiliated colleges in the state of West Bengal. However, all the B.Ed universities fall under the category of “The West Bengal University of Teachers' Training, Education and Administration”. This procedure was started with CU, KU, etc. So, it does not necessarily matter from where you pursue your B.Ed degree. The only important factor to ensure is whether or not the university you have enrolled in has come under the NCTE website (Eastern Zone) during and after your course period. It is because the courses often lose their course validity period which is exactly why you should be aware of your steps.  Rest assured, Burdwan University is one of the most scoring universities for pursuing a B.Ed. Read more
