The answer to your question is "YES".
You can enroll for two degrees simultaneously after august 2013 which was supposed to be functional from academic year of 2014-15.
According to Indian education act-1959, you could not pursue two degrees simultaneously, because it causes extra burden on students (according to law makers). But after the recommendation of few universities, UGC has now granted the permission for students to get enrolled in two degrees (in same or different universities) to give students opt for more choices.

Yes, you can pursue B.Ed and M.A. Together in the same year but one should be in regular mode and the other in distance mode. Pursuing both B.Ed and M.A. Together will help you in saving time. Hope it helps.

Yes, you can. You may review UGC guidelines for better clarifications. Both programmes lead to different career path and different knowledge and skills. If you want to be a teacher, then it's good to do B.Ed and if you want to be an HR and interested in corporate sector, then go for MBA. You can go for it, but both should be from different universities.
