Guidance needed: Pursuing Regular B.Ed. while in final year of MA (Distance/ODL)
myquals: UG (77.95% from WBSU), currently pursuing MA Political Science 3rd Sem (RBU Distance).
Hi everyone,
I need some guidance regarding B.Ed. admission for the 2026-28 session. Here is my current academic profile:
UG: 77.95% (from WBSU).
Ongoing PG: Currently in my 3rd semester of MA in Political Science (2024-26 batch) from Rabindra Bharati University (RBU) in Distance/ODL mode.
Target: B.Ed. admission at Arya Bharat Sikshya Pratisthan (affiliated with BSAEU/WBUTTEPA).
My Specific Queries:
Dual Degree Validity: According to the modified UGC guidelines (April 2025), a student can pursue one full-time physical program and one ODL program simultaneously. Since my MA is distance and B.Ed. will be regular, is there any administrative hurdle I should expect during registration?
Migration Certificate Issue: I did my graduation from WBSU. I have an RBU registration certificate for my MA, but I never submitted a migration certificate to RBU. Can I use my original WBSU migration certificate for B.Ed. admission while continuing my MA at RBU?
RBU Policy: Does RBU Distance Education (CDOE) generally require an NOC for students taking up a physical B.Ed. course?
I have the latest UGC notification which states that simultaneous degrees are valid. If anyone has recently navigated this specific path (especially in West Bengal), your advice would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance!
