B.Ed + M.Ed Integrated
B.Ed + M.Ed Integrated is a three-year programme that combines the Bachelor of Education and Master of Education degrees into a single course, instead of completing them separately. It is open to candidates who already hold a bachelor's degree in any discipline and meet the minimum marks set by the university or the National Council for Teacher Education, which regulates teacher education in India. The programme covers educational psychology, pedagogy, curriculum studies, educational research and school internship, followed by advanced study in educational theory and research methods at the M.Ed stage. It suits graduates who want to become school teachers and later move into teacher education, research or academic administration without doing B.Ed and M.Ed separately.

Why Choose the Integrated B.Ed-M.Ed
Saves time over doing both separately
Completing B.Ed and M.Ed together in three years is generally quicker than a 2-year B.Ed followed by a separate M.Ed.
Opens both school and teacher-education roles
Graduates are eligible for school teaching as well as, with experience, teacher-educator roles at B.Ed colleges.
Research grounding from the M.Ed component
The M.Ed component builds research and advanced pedagogy skills useful for curriculum design and academic roles.
