The B.Ed. Course
Affiliated to Barkatullah University, Bhopal
Session Starts: 1 July
Session Ends: 30 April


Admission Procedure
There are 120 seats in the B.Ed. programme. Until recently, the B.Ed. course in the IASE, Bhopal had both components of teacher-education – pre-service and in-service. This was because until session 2001–2002, admission to 50% seats was through State-Level ‘Pre-B.Ed.’ examination; conducted by the Professional Examination Board (Vyavsaik Pariksha Mandal). Graduates with 45% marks were eligible for the examination. The remaining 50% seats were reserved for untrained departmental candidates. Their seniority was calculated at the district education office, selections made, and the lists were sent to the institution for admission. In this way, both freshers and in-service candidates got training together and competed in the same environment.
From the session 2002–2003, the backlog of untrained departmental teachers forced the government to reserve 100% seats for departmental candidates. Consequently, only untrained teachers employed by the state government are being admitted to the B.Ed. course.


Andaman & Nicobar Islands Seats
15 seats have been reserved for candidates from the Andaman & Nicobar Islands for the session 2007-08. The selection is governed by the Administration of A&N Islands.
