The registration form-filling process includes entering details, uploading documents, and paying the registration fees.

Adhering to guidelines and specifications for each will save your application from getting rejected during the screening process. 

If you are exploring Universities for pursuing Distance B.Ed course, then you must check for two basic approvals. Firstly, the university must be UGC recognised (through the Distance Education Bureau: DEB). Secondly, the B.Ed programme itself must be approved by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) which is offered by many colleges and institutions. Students must note that there will always be a risk of your degree getting rejected if any institution offering Distance B.Ed does not match both the criteria. Your qualification for CTET, state TETs, and government school recruitment will be rejected without DEB and NCTE approval even if you have completed all exams and paid the full fee.​

One of the first things that causes confusion and apprehension when you begin preparations for B.Ed entrance exams is the cut-off scores. One year they shoot up, and the other year they fall flat without any apparent reason. Whether it is the UP B.Ed JEE, Maharashtra B.Ed CET, or admissions to DU and BHU, these patterns become evident and can be easily deduced. A knowledge of the workings of cut-offs will thus help you bear expectations and devise an admission strategy accordingly.

You can become a government teacher without doing a B.Ed degree. For many posts, especially Primary and some Upper Primary roles, NCTE allows D.El. Ed or B.El.Ed has valid teaching qualifications. Your eligibility mainly depends on NCTE norms + CTET / TET rules issued by the central and state governments.
