If you think of taking your BEd from IGNOU and are curious whether it would help you get a government teaching job, then here's an interesting bit of information for you: Yes, IGNOU BEd is 100% valid for government teacher jobs! The degree is recognized under NCTE (National Council for Teacher Education) and approved by UGC, thus holding the same value as a regular degree from any other university. You can freely apply for government teaching jobs after your IGNOU BEd, provided you fulfill other eligibility factors, such as qualifying in the TET or CTET examination.

Hey there! You're wondering if foreign nationals can join IGNOU's BEd program, right? Well, here's the straight answer for you. The BEd programs are not available for international students. So, if you are a foreign national residing outside of India, you won't be able to apply. But hold on! There is a catch! If you are a foreign student who is currently residing in India (the FSRI - Foreign Students Residing in India), then you could register for most academic programs through various regional centers of IGNOU, although BEd has some restrictions that we shall discuss below.

If you're planning to pursue BEd from IGNOU, the total program fee is Rs 60,000 for the complete course as mentioned on their official website. The minimum duration of time required to complete this course is 24 months, but IGNOU gives you the flexibility to exceed a total of 60 months if you have to extend it further because of other work or personal commitments. Apart from the program fee, you have to pay Rs 200 as exam fees for every course. To sum it up, IGNOU's BEd is arguably the cheapest teacher training course in India, definitely when compared to regular colleges that charge double or triple that amount.

Yes, IGNOU B.Ed. program is recognized by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE). This recognition is very important since, without recognition by NCTE, your BEd degree is worthless when searching for teaching jobs in schools across India. IGNOU is one of the most trusted universities for distance education in the country, and its BEd program fulfills all the requirements laid down by NCTE.
