What is a Distance B.Ed? (And Why Does It Matter?)

A Distance B.Ed (Bachelor of Education) is a 2-year professional teacher training degree offered by NCTE-approved universities under the distance/open learning mode. It prepares candidates with pedagogical skills, subject knowledge, and teaching methodology required for formal school teaching.

  • No daily campus attendance required
  • Study alongside your current job or teaching assignment
  • Flexible contact sessions are typically held on weekends or during holidays

A B.Ed from an NCTE-approved university is mandatory for teaching at the secondary and senior secondary levels in government and private schools, and is required to appear for teacher eligibility tests (TET/CTET).
