Yes, a B.Com degree is eligible for the IGNOU B.Ed entrance test, but with conditions. You must have a bachelor's or master's degree in Commerce, Science, Social Science, or Humanities with at least 50% marks (or 45% for reserved categories). You also need to be a trained in-service teacher in elementary education or have completed an NCTE-recognized teacher education program through face-to-face mode.

Yes, after completing B.Com you can take admission in B.Ed, and many students from the commerce stream do this (on average around 20–30% depending on the university). In B.Ed Commerce, the syllabus focuses on pedagogy and teaching methods of subjects like Accountancy, Business Studies, Economics, and Commerce. Core papers include Philosophy & Sociology of Education, Learner Psychology, Curriculum & Pedagogy, Inclusive Education, Educational Technology, Assessment & Evaluation etc. The second year usually has a compulsory school internship/practice teaching where you teach in real classrooms.

Hello Aspirant,

To prepare for a B.Ed. (Bachelor of Education) entrance exam , focus on these subjects:

• General Knowledge : Current affairs, history, geography, general science.

• Teaching Aptitude : Understanding learners, teaching methods, classroom management.

• Reasoning Ability : Logical reasoning, puzzles, series.

• Language Proficiency : English (grammar, vocabulary, comprehension) and often Hindi or a regional language.

• Subject Ability : Based on your graduation stream (Arts, Science, Commerce).

You should start by checking the specific syllabus for the B.Ed. entrance exam you plan to take (e.g., state-level like UP B.Ed JEE, or university-specific like DU B.Ed). Practice with previous year question papers.

A great starting point for your B.Ed. journey is to research different universities offering the program, their admission criteria (minimum marks in graduation, entrance exam requirements), and fees. Some popular options include 2-year regular courses or 4-year integrated courses after 12th.

Hi!

If your scholarship hasn’t been received, start by checking your application status on the official scholarship portal of your state. Many times, delays happen because of incomplete verification at the college or district level. Visit your college’s scholarship department and confirm that your application and documents (income certificate, caste certificate, marksheet, bank details) are correctly uploaded and approved. Also, ensure that your bank account is linked to Aadhaar and is active for receiving DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer). If everything is correct and yet payment is delayed, raise a grievance ticket on the portal or contact the district welfare office. Sometimes, scholarship disbursement happens in phases, so you may get it later than others. Keep track of the scholarship release notifications on the official site.

Thank you for reading, and I hope your scholarship is credited soon.
