About the Programme
B.Sc. B. Ed. is a four-year integrated undergraduate programme offering a dual degree. The programme was started with a vision to impart in-depth knowledge of different subjects including Science, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Botany and Zoology with three broad interrelated curricular areas.
The programme is designed according to UGC and NCTE guidelines to prepare qualitative future teachers for nation-building. During these four years, students complete their graduation in Science along with their graduation in Education as well. It saves one year for the students. The programme has been designed to impart theoretical knowledge and practical skills to students in different disciplines of Science and empowers them with problem-solving skills.
Resilience is the ethos of the programme which is achieved by offering various electives. EPCs are introduced for personality development and to provide knowledge of ICT. The programme is bettered for practical adeptness with a twenty-week internship programme including four-week observation in schools to provide real experiences.
