DAV College Chandigarh BA + B.Ed : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Yes, a valid NCET 2026 score is mandatory for all applicants to the BA B.Ed Integrated Teacher Education Programme at DAV College Chandigarh. NCET is conducted by NTA and the 2026 result was declared on June 4, 2026. The admission merit list is prepared by combining the NCET score with Class 12 aggregate marks. Candidates without a valid NCET 2026 score are not eligible for this self-finance programme regardless of Class 12 performance.

Ans. The total fee for the 4-year BA B.Ed programme at DAV College Chandigarh is INR 1,84,992, charged at an annual rate of INR 46,248. A non-refundable application fee of INR 850 is paid at registration. Students confirming admission after the scheduled start date must pay a late surcharge of INR 2,000. The programme is a self-finance course and no government fee subsidy is applied to the annual fee.

Ans. Graduates of the BA B.Ed programme are eligible to teach in government and private schools in Punjab and Chandigarh. They can appear for PSTET (Punjab State Teacher Eligibility Test) and CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) to qualify for primary and secondary school teaching posts. Government school teacher recruitment through the Punjab School Education Board is the primary career pathway, and private school positions are also available to PSTET and CTET-qualified graduates.

Ans. Yes, students from any stream including Science, Commerce, and Arts are eligible to apply for the BA B.Ed at DAV College Chandigarh. The minimum requirement is 50% aggregate in Class 12 with English as a compulsory subject. No stream restriction applies because the ITEP curriculum covers arts disciplines and teacher education pedagogy irrespective of the candidate’s prior Class 12 subject combination.

Ans. The 4-year BA B.Ed is an NCTE-mandated Integrated Teacher Education Programme replacing the 5-year format from the 2026-27 academic session. The revised structure delivers both BA and B.Ed credentials in four years, with school internship and subject pedagogy embedded from the first year onward. This transition is mandatory across all NCTE-affiliated colleges, and students who enter this year will complete the programme under the four-year framework.

Ans. DAV College Chandigarh does not run a dedicated corporate placement drive for BA B.Ed graduates. Teaching positions are primarily secured through government recruitment exams such as PSTET, CTET, and Punjab Education Board notifications. Private school opportunities are also available, and graduates apply directly to schools in the Chandigarh region after clearing the relevant teacher eligibility tests. The programme is designed to prepare students for a career in school teaching, not corporate employment. Most alumni take up teaching roles within one to two years of graduation.
