Teaching & Education

The regulatory authority National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) changed the B.Ed course from 1-year to 2‑year (four semesters) for all new admissions since around 2014‑15. 

For distance or correspondence B.Ed (or ODL — open/distance learning) mode, NCTE sets that the duration must be 24 months (2 years).

Therefore, any “1‑year B.Ed” — through regular or distance mode — is not valid under current NCTE norms (unless it's some outdated or special exception, which is unlikely).

There are many govt. and state universities that conduct BEd entrance exams like IGNOU, VMOU, Kakatiya University, and many more. Check your preferred exam and verify which university will conduct that exam for the 2026 session.

The last date for any exam hasn't been released yet. You will be notified once it is released on official website and Shiksha.com.

The BEd entrance exams are conducted at national and state-level. Candidates can choose their preferred exam and college they wish to get admission in.

National exam like IGNOU and state-level like Rajasthan PTET
