Ques. Can I prepare in 1 month for a B.Ed entrance exam at DU?

● Top Answer By Inayat on 10 Oct 22

Ans. The requirements for B.Ed admission to DU are as follows: Written Exam: If you work smartly and analyze the pattern of questions asked in previous examinations, devote a focused time period to preparation, followed by sufficient practice tests, you can certainly clear in one month.  If you are well-versed in your subject matter, there is very little required for you to do. Hard work comes after good fortune. So, first and foremost, your planning should be smart, and then, you must work and prepare well beyond the planned strategy. Each of us has our own set of self-beliefs and abilities. Thus, you do not have to compare yourself with any other person. Just believe in yourself and go ahead.  Interview:  During the interview, a panel of teachers/interviewers/professors will fire off all sorts of questions at you, including subject questions, psychology questions, general knowledge questions, confidence check questions, and, most importantly, your honesty, which is one of the most important aspects of being a good teacher. A good strategy, a lot of planning, focused work, confidence as well as a strong belief in yourself, are required.Read more

Ques. Is Burdwan University good for a B.Ed?

● Top Answer By Poushali Bhattacharya on 28 Sept 21

Ans. Burdwan University, at present, has the largest number of B.Ed affiliated colleges in the state of West Bengal. However, all the B.Ed universities fall under the category of “The West Bengal University of Teachers' Training, Education and Administration”. This procedure was started with CU, KU, etc. So, it does not necessarily matter from where you pursue your B.Ed degree. The only important factor to ensure is whether or not the university you have enrolled in has come under the NCTE website (Eastern Zone) during and after your course period. It is because the courses often lose their course validity period which is exactly why you should be aware of your steps.  Rest assured, Burdwan University is one of the most scoring universities for pursuing a B.Ed. Read more
