Hello, Yes , based on the details you've provided, you can apply for an EWS certificate.

The reason is that for an unmarried person, the income of their adult siblings (who are 18 years of age or older) is not included when calculating the "family income" for an EWS certificate.

As long as your parents' gross annual income is below the 8 lakh threshold and your family's assets are within the prescribed limits (e.g., less than 5 acres of agricultural land, etc.), you are eligible to apply.

Yes, a B.Com graduate with a 2-year A.T.D. (Art Teacher Diploma) can apply for the CTET exam , provided the diploma is recognized by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) or the respective state education board.

For the Primary Stage (Class I–V) , CTET eligibility requires either:

• Graduation in any stream with a minimum of 50% marks , along with a 2-year Diploma in Elementary Education / D.Ed / BTC , or

• Senior Secondary (12th) with 50% marks and a recognized 2-year diploma in elementary education.

Since you have 60.08% in B.Com and a 2-year A.T.D. , you meet the academic requirement and can appear for CTET, especially for Art / Drawing teaching subjects .

Note: Always ensure your diploma is recognized , and keep your certificates ready for verification during admission or appointment.

Hii padmo!

Your B.Ed degree is valid as long as it was from NCTE approved institution. Since you have already been awarded degree in 2022 it will be accepted for your TGT Hindi teacher job in Odisha.  The only technical issue could be if you pursued regular B.Ed while holding a full time job without leave or NOC. In this case you may need to justify it if questioned during verification or interview. You may have to clarify this to the verification officers.

But the degree itself remains valid and recognised as it has already been awarded.

Hello Aspirant,

No, directly joining a B.Ed after 12th is not possible. The minimum eligibility for B.Ed in India is a graduation or equivalent (BA, B.Sc, B.Com or equivalent). After 12th you could take a teacher training course like D.El.Ed or B.El.Ed (integrated) if you want to start your teaching career earlier.

Since you have a strong background in Mathematics with a 9 CGPA, pursuing M.Sc. Electronics may not be the right choice as it requires strong physics knowledge, which you’re not comfortable with. Since you’re also not interested in teaching, B.Ed. won’t suit you either. Instead, you can explore options like M.Sc. Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, or MCA, which align better with your skills and open careers in IT, finance, research, and analytics. Certifications in Data Science, AI, or MBA later can also give you good career opportunities.

Hello Aspirant,

For Special Education DIET (District Institute of Education and Training) teacher training in West Bengal, you should look for institutes approved by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) .

A prominent option is Netaji Subhas Open University (NSOU) , which offers RCI-approved B.Ed. Special Education (ODL/Distance Learning) courses with a regional center in Durgapur.

You can also contact DIET Kolkata or other RCI-approved institutions in West Bengal directly. Always check the RCI website (rehabcouncil.nic.in) for the latest list of approved centers and courses for specific disabilities.

Hi,

with your strong academic record and B.Ed qualification, you can apply to private schools, government schools (through eligibility tests like CTET/State TET), or reputed institutions. Salary varies:

• Private schools is between 10,000–25,000/month (depending on city and school).

• Government schools – 35,000–55,000/month (plus benefits) after clearing teacher eligibility exams.

If you’re joining a private school without government recruitment, the exact salary will be decided during the interview based on your qualifications and the school’s budget.

Thanks and wishing you a great teaching career.
