Well, with over 2 decades of experience in education sector, I can guide you on this. They will hold the UP JEE B Ed (Uttar Pradesh Joint Entrance Examination for B Ed) on August 6th. It is the qualifying examination for all those planning to do B Ed from any government, aided or private college in Uttar Pradesh (UP). The results are to be announced at the end of August.
After declaration of the results, choosing a college for B Ed confuses many candidates. Please choose your college based on these criteria.
- Infrastructure & Facilities
- Faculty & Internship
- Method of Course Delivery
Infrastructure includes spacious, well-ventilated classrooms that are equipped with AV aids like projectors, smart class etc. to train students on the latest technologies.
It also includes a library, computer labs, seminar & conference halls any other Teaching Learning Tools (TLM) that enhance students’ skill set.
Another important criterion is faculty. Please ensure your college has experienced faculty who can train on market ready skills to make your job ready.
Apart from academic knowledge, the faculty should be able to focus on practical skills needed for the job.
No knowledge is complete without hands on exposure. Check whether the college arranges internship for its students. If the college does not provide internship, please choose another college.
Internship will enable the student to apply theory in actual life situations.
The course delivery method should not be traditional. It should include activities that allow student participation for holistic development of the students. This is even more important for shy students who do not express themselves.
Teacher needs to deliver his/her lecture confidently. Through role plays, debates & participation students develop critical thinking, problem solving & team building. Look for all curricular activities the college involves its students into.
Last but not the least, ensure that National Council of Teacher education (NCTE) recognizes your college for B Ed course.
