Which course should I prefer after B.Sc: B.Ed or M.Sc.? Why?
-
B.Ed is the course whereby you can become a school teacher. However, M.Sc is a Master's degree. In terms of value M.Sc has more value. If you wish to become a school teacher then you can pursue B.Ed. But along with that you must clear the SET exam too. However if being a school teacher is not your aspiration then certainly M.Sc is a better option. If you have passion for teaching then after M.Sc you can appear for NET exam. You will then be eligible to teach at the college level. You can also later take up a Doctorate if you desire. If you have the option to study further then certainly you must take a Master's degree.

If you are done with studies and want to get a job desperately, then B.Ed followed by teaching is a common option. However, if you are interested in the subject and further studies, then go for M.Sc as it will anyway help you a lot in both the ways as you can become a PGT after doing M.Sc, but not after B.Sc.

5 years agoIf you want a job immediately then you should opt for B.Ed. The problem with M.Sc is that it is research-oriented. You may need some time for acquiring a good job. It is, more or less, a personal decision. -
If your aim is to become a teacher (Higher Secondary Teacher), then B.Ed is necessary. If you have M.Sc, you can be a professor in Junior College or Senior College. For High school, B.Sc + B.Ed is good. But if want to go as higher as Junior College or Senior College, you must have a PG I.e. in your case, it will be M.Sc. So, do M.Sc after B.Sc first and then B.Ed. Or, you can pursue B.Ed through distance learning mode or from open university simultaneously. But, if you want to go in the field of research, then B.Ed is not mandatory. M.Sc is acceptable. You can be research fellow, Scientist, etc. So, choose accordingly.
Good luck.
