i am currently doing graduation in history and i want o become a lecturer or a Professor of history, but i am very confused between b.ed and MA(history). which course should i do first ? can anyone help.
As, mentioned you have been doing your BA in history and confused whether to take up B.ed or MA History ? Since, you are aspiring the be an lecturer it's best that you should go for MA in history first and then sit for for UGC NET examination.
If only your goal is for an School teacher, you could take up B.ed, for being an lecturer or professor you are required to complete Master's degree with at least 55% and clear NET examination.
Hence, eligibility for UP PGT :
1) Master's degree with minimum 55%
2)B.ed or M.ed degree with minimum 55%
Let me explain you, if you're aim is to become lecturer take up Masters and then sit for NET (NO NEED OF B.ed)
If you're aim is to become school teacher take up B.ed.
If you're aim is UP PGT, that is an special case, the eligibility is Master's degree as well as B.ed. Therefore, you are supposed to do both Master's degree and B.ed/M.ed .
Hope I'm clear, feel free to clear your doubts.
