UP plans to perform online exam for BEd
Taking lessons from the past, the higher education department, Uttar Pradesh plans to conduct the Bachelor of Education (BEd) online.
Under the online procedure, the BEd aspirants will not have to appear for an entrance exam instead there will be direct admission based on merit. In the country, states like Maharastra, Madhya Pradesh, and Punjab already have the same model.
The higher education officials feel that the online process will avoid wastage of time and also the risk of paper leak, that happened in the year 2010 when the task of conducting the exam was given to the Lucknow University. The higher education department have alreday worked on the pros and cons of adopting the online method but the final report is awaited.
“We are thinking to adopt the online process. Things are in the process. The higher education minister is out of the town, once he comes back, the final decision will be taken,” said special secretary, higher education, VK Gupta while talking to TOI. To note, BEd is one of the biggest exam in the state and this year nearly eight to nine lakh candidates are expected to appear in the exam.
