B.Ed

No, MA in Education is not equal to BEd and MEd; BEd is an undergraduate teaching qualification, while MA in Education and MEd are postgraduate degrees with distinct focuses: MA in Education is more academic and theoretical, dealing with philosophies, theories, and research in education, whereas MEd is a professional degree focusing on the practical, pedagogical aspects of teaching.

Pursuing an MEd after a BEd. offers several benefits, including enhanced teaching skills through advanced training and specialisation options, improved career prospects for leadership roles like principal or department head, increased earning potential due to eligibility for higher-level positions, and greater professional recognition and networking opportunities within the education field. The MEd degree also fosters leadership development and keeps educators updated on current educational theories and methodologies.

In microteaching, the presentation duration is short and specific, typically ranging from 5 to 10 minutes, with some variations up to 15 minutes for a single micro-lesson. This brevity allows teachers to focus on and refine specific teaching skills in a compressed format as part of the larger, standard 36-minute microteaching cycle.

Micro-teaching lessons are kept brief, typically lasting 5-10 minutes, to minimize the complexities of a normal classroom environment. This allows trainees to focus on mastering one specific teaching skill, such as questioning or explanation, receive detailed feedback, practice repeatedly, and make incremental improvements without being overwhelmed by a large class, extended content, or numerous variables.

Microteaching in a BEd context is a teacher training technique where student teachers practice a specific teaching skill in a short, scaled-down lesson (5-10 minutes) for a small group of students. The process, originating from Stanford University, involves cycles of planning, teaching, receiving immediate feedback (often through peer observation or video), and reteaching to improve a narrow range of skills like questioning, explaining, or using examples. The goal is to build teacher confidence and competence by mastering individual skills in a controlled, supportive environment before applying them in full-length classes.

If a candidate fails to report on the scheduled date, their admission will be cancelled and the seat allotted to the next candidate in the merit list.

Yes. Candidates must be in-service teachers in elementary education or should have completed a NCTE-recognized teacher education programme (such as DElEd, BTC, JBT, or equivalent).

For primary teacher roles (Classes 1-5), the DElEd (Diploma in Elementary Education) is the direct qualification, focusing on foundational teaching for younger learners. In contrast, a BEd (Bachelor of Education) is a broader undergraduate degree that qualifies you to teach secondary and higher secondary levels (Classes 6-12), and while historically considered for primary, its eligibility for primary roles has been subject to controversy and clarification by the Supreme Court. Choose DElEd for immediate entry into primary teaching and BEd for teaching higher classes or administrative roles.
