IGNOU - Indira Gandhi National Open University

Yes, it is possible to get direct admission to a BEd programme without appearing for the IGNOU BEd Entrance Exam. However, this depends on the specific institution and its admission policies.

Many universities and colleges; both government and private; offer B.Ed programs with direct admission based on:

• Merit in graduation (i.e., marks obtained in the qualifying degree)

• Institutional quotas

• Management seats

• Or other alternative selection processes that do not require an entrance exam

It's important to note that IGNOU strictly conducts its own entrance test for BEd admissions, and direct admission is not available for IGNOU's BEd program. Therefore, candidates seeking IGNOU BEd admission must appear for and qualify the entrance exam. For those who prefer to avoid entrance tests, exploring BEd programs from other recognised universities that offer merit-based admission is a suitable option.
