Bihar B.Ed Admission 2025: Eligibility, Important Dates, Admission Process, Entrance Exam Syllabus, Colleges

Ans. The Bihar B.Ed Common Entrance Test (CET) 2025 is a state-level entrance examination conducted for admission into the two-year Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) and Shiksha Shastri programs in Bihar. It is organised by Lalit Narayan Mithila University (LNMU), Darbhanga, on behalf of the Bihar Government. Every year, thousands of students aspiring to become teachers apply for this exam, as it serves as the gateway to top government, government-aided, and private B.Ed colleges in Bihar. The test evaluates candidates’ general awareness, reasoning ability, teaching aptitude, and language proficiency to ensure that only deserving candidates enter the teaching profession. Qualifying for this exam is compulsory, as direct admission to B.Ed without CET is not allowed in Bihar.

Ans. To apply for Bihar B.Ed Admission 2025, candidates must hold a Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree in Arts, Science, or Commerce with at least 50% marks for general candidates and 45% for reserved categories (SC/ST/EBC/BC/PH). For those applying to the Shiksha Shastri program, a background in Sanskrit, such as Shastri, Acharya, or equivalent degree, is required. Final-year students of graduation or post-graduation can also apply, but they need to submit their results and mark sheets at the time of counselling. This eligibility ensures that candidates entering B.Ed programs have a strong academic foundation and the necessary qualifications to become teachers. The criteria have been designed keeping in mind the NCTE (National Council for Teacher Education) guidelines for teacher training.

Ans. The application process for Bihar B.Ed 2025 is conducted entirely online through the LNMU CET-B.Ed official portal. First, candidates need to register themselves by entering basic details such as name, email ID, phone number, and password. After registration, they must log in and fill in the application form with their academic qualifications, personal details, and category information. The next step involves uploading scanned copies of necessary documents such as passport-size photographs, signatures, and academic certificates in the specified format. Once the details are filled in correctly, candidates must pay the application fee online through debit/credit card, net banking, or UPI. After successful submission, applicants should download and print the confirmation page for future reference. The process is simple but must be completed carefully, as incomplete or incorrect forms may lead to rejection.

Ans. The exam consists of 120 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) carrying one mark each, with a total of 120 marks. The paper is divided into five sections: General English/Sanskrit, General Hindi, Logical & Analytical Reasoning, General Awareness, and Teaching–Learning Environment. The exam duration is 2 hours, and there is no negative marking. This pattern allows candidates to focus on attempting all questions without fear of losing marks, while ensuring a fair assessment of overall aptitude.

Ans. The admit card for Bihar B.Ed CET is released on May 21, 2025, and it is usually released a week before the exam date on the official LNMU website. Candidates need to log in using their registration number and password to download it. The admit card contains essential details such as exam date, time, centre, and instructions. It is mandatory to carry the admit card along with a valid photo ID proof to the exam centre, as without it, candidates will not be allowed to appear for the test.

Ans. Candidates applying for Bihar B.Ed 2025 must keep certain documents ready for verification during the application, counselling, and admission stages. These include the admit card, CET rank card, graduation and post-graduation mark sheets, provisional or original degree certificates, transfer/migration certificate, caste certificate (for reserved categories), domicile certificate, and recent passport-size photographs. A valid photo ID proof, such as an Aadhaar card or a voter ID, is also mandatory. During counselling, both original and self-attested photocopies of documents must be presented. Failure to provide the required documents may lead to cancellation of admission. Having all documents ready beforehand helps avoid unnecessary stress during the admission process.

Ans. Seat allotment for Bihar B.Ed 2025 is carried out through a centralised counselling system managed by LNMU. After candidates enter their preferences during counselling, the system automatically matches their rank, category, reservation norms, and availability of seats to allot a college. For example, candidates with higher ranks get priority in securing top colleges, while reserved category students benefit from quota-based allotments. Once a seat is allotted, the candidate must pay the seat acceptance fee within the given deadline to confirm admission. If they fail to do so, the seat is released to the next eligible candidate in the subsequent round. The transparent and merit-based seat allotment process ensures fairness and equal opportunities for all students.

Ans. The syllabus includes General English Comprehension (or Sanskrit for Shiksha Shastri), General Hindi, Logical & Analytical Reasoning, General Awareness, and Teaching–Learning Environment. These subjects are designed to test a candidate’s language proficiency, reasoning skills, awareness of social and educational issues, and understanding of teaching practices. Preparing thoroughly for each section ensures a balanced performance, as all sections carry equal weightage in the exam.

Ans. After completing B.Ed, candidates can apply for teaching jobs in government and private schools at the primary, secondary, and senior secondary levels. They can also appear for teaching eligibility tests such as CTET, STET, and other state-level TET exams to secure government teaching positions. Apart from teaching, B.Ed graduates can explore careers in educational administration, counselling, content development, and coaching institutes. With growing demand for trained teachers, B.Ed opens diverse opportunities in the education sector.
