Is it beneficial for a B.Tech student to do a B.Ed after their degree?

Passion knows no boundaries! If passion is to become a teacher, B.Ed is the perfect way to go ahead. Being a technically proficient person due to skill sets earned in B.Tech, you can become a teacher par excellence. The point being, these days teachers also have to be proficient in many skills which are traditionally noy associated with teaching. More pertinent point is choosing the right university to puesue these programs. It is imperative that B.Ed must be done from top player where you have the inhouse modules to clear the national or state teaching tests like HTET and CTET which are essential for this pious career. You can get all this under one roof with LPU which has made phenomenal progress in education in last 15 years. In order to realise the vision of School of Education, it has hired the experienced and research oriented faculty, who enrich the learning environment and create innovative teaching learning resources. Some of the learning initiatives of the School include: Practical courses/subjects on building cutting edge ICT proficiency and its application in classroom learning. Courses on strengthening communication skills. Workshop courses on Life skills/ Business communication/Research Paper writing/Research Project Writing Special module on yoga App based learning and evaluation Focus for better student-teacher interaction through mentoring sessions Orientation of curricular content for enhancing employability Curricular inputs to prepare students for qualifying competitive tests like Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) and National Eligibility Test for Lectureship and Research Fellowships (NET). Opportunities to participate in extra-curricular activities for achieving all-round development. The tremendous progress is on back of heavy investments in intellectual capital by LPU. The perpetual pursuit towards excellence is ample example of this. Hope this helps.

Hello! Yes. Absolutely. Until 2015, some universities didn't allow B.Tech students to opt for B.Ed. Courses, but now most have lifted such criteria. First of all, I must appreciate your stand which you are likely to take up. Yes, you can surely go forward with B.Ed after B tech. Since your Engineering degree is a graduate degree, so there exists a scope for your persuasion in B.Ed degree. In this context, I would recommend you to have a regular degree course of B.Ed from a recognised university in order to enhance your chance to be selected as a teacher. A lot of engineering students aspire to become teachers. As some guy wisely said - In India students first become engineering graduates, and then decide what they want from their career. Therefore, it's a phenomenon unique to India that B.E. Or B.Tech graduates want to pursue career in teaching in primary-level, middle or high schools. This might mean to some that they are leaving behind their technical careers, but it is a reality for majority and we must embrace it - till the time comes when serious amendments are made to the education system. This course is mainly for those who want to pursue a career in teaching. Especially to teach in higher primary and high schools, it is mandatory to have a first degree of B.Ed. This course is of a duration of 2 years. The minimum eligibility criteria for B.Ed. Is the completion of an undergraduate degree course in any discipline. National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) is the panel which oversees the standards, procedures and processes in the education system of India. Few of the leading universities for B.Ed are : Delhi University I P University Lovely Professional University IGNOU Banaras Hindu University Mumbai University Kolkata University and few more As per my experience I would suggest you to have a look over Lovely Professional University. Bachelors of Education programme at LPU aims to prepare teachers as per NCTE guidelines through comprehensive curriculum, intensive training and field engagement with special focus on developing ability to qualify CTET/STET. I hope this helps. All the Best!
