Hi,

Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) is the first open university in India. It was established by an Act of the Karnataka Legislature on 13th October, 1993. The KSOU offers courses for all categories of people and not just for students but also for working professionals who wish to upgrade their skills or acquire new ones. What are its objectives? The objective of establishing a state-level open university is to provide opportunities to the citizens at large through higher education and training in various fields which shall be free from any form of discrimination on grounds such as caste, creed, religion, gender or social status.

BEd course is a program which helps students to complete their education in a short period of time. It is designed for those who have completed the basic education and want to get into higher level of education. BEd course offers an opportunity to students to acquire knowledge and skills that are required for them in order to become successful professionals.

KSOU, Mysore has a long and rich tradition of Open and Distance Learning (ODL). To be eligible for such course, candidate needs pass bachelors or equivalent under graduate degree. Then, he or she needs to appear in an entrance test for the admission.

I hope it helps.

Thank you!
