Quantifiers

Beginner-Level 5

Your Double BA + MA degree is absolutely valid, provided it is completed from a recognized university (UGC-approved / government-recognized institution). The key factor for B.Ed admission is not how many degrees you have, but whether your the highest qualification meets the minimum eligibility criteria set by the university or NCTE guidelines.

📌 B.Ed Eligibility (General Criteria in India):

  • Minimum 50% marks in Graduation or Post-Graduation (45% for reserved categories in many universities).

  • Degree must be from a recognized university.

  • Subject in BA/MA should match the teaching subject you want to choose in B.Ed.

  • Some states/universities
