Counselling/Seat Allocation

Candidates who have successfully cleared the Bihar DElEd Joint Entrance Exam will be eligible for counselling. Only those candidates who have passed the Bihar DElEd Joint Entrance Exam and filled out the online application (CAF) will be included in the selection process. Generally, three rounds of counselling are held.

Please note that any applicant who fails the DElEd Joint Examination will not be selected for admission to any college. Also, any candidate who has passed the entrance exam but did not submit the online application will not be included in the selection list.

Students will then be allotted seats based on

  • Score (Rank) of the student in the entrance examination
  • Number of approved seats in the colleges conducting DElEd Course
  • Institute options filled by the candidate
  • Reservation provisions released by the state government

The first selection list will be released by the committee and displayed on its website. Selected students can log in using their credentials to see the results. The selected candidates will need to print out the intimation letter, CAF, along with the other original documents demanded by the college and contact the college for admission. Students can then get themselves enrolled in their allotted training institute by the provided deadline.

In case the student fails to get enrolled by the deadline then their name will be removed from the list and they will not be considered for the second/third lists. If the candidate is not satisfied with the lower priority institute allocated to them in the first list, they can opt-in for the ‘slide-up’ option by going through the student login on the portal for the possibility of enrollment to higher priority institutes. (Note: The priority list cannot be changed)

After selecting the slide-up option the concerned student can be selected in the high priority options already filled in the application form. With the selection of the student in the second list their name will become vacant in the first list.

Students will need to pay a security deposit of INR 3000 to the allotted institute to ensure their admission, only then will they have the option of slide up. The security fees do not need to be paid again even if they get selected in the second/third list. (Applicable to both government and private institutions)

Students who were not selected for the first list will have their names considered for the second/third list in case there is a vacancy. Such students are permitted to modify their previous choice for admission in the institute related to the vacant seat after the prescribed period of admission based on the first selection list, from the selected options successfully filled in the Common application form (CAF) earlier on the portal.
