Yes, after completing your B.Sc., you can pursue the Shiksha Shastri (B.Ed in Sanskrit) course from recognized universities or colleges that offer it. The eligibility criteria generally require graduation with Sanskrit as a subject or a degree in a related field from a recognized institution.

Hello dear,

Yes, after completing graduation, you are eligible to pursue Shiksha Shastri (B.Ed in Sanskrit) course, provided you fulfill the subject requirement. Normally, the eligibility criteria is graduation with Sanskrit as one of the main subjects or at least studied it at +2 level. Since you have completed B.Sc, you should check whether you had Sanskrit in your background. If not, some universities still allow admission if you clear their entrance or meet basic criteria. Popular institutions like

• Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan,
• Sampurnanand Sanskrit University,
• Lal Bahadur Shastri Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth,

and some state universities offer this course. The duration is usually 2 years, and it prepares you for teaching Sanskrit in schools or higher studies in the field. The admission process can be merit-based or through entrance exams depending on the university. I would advise you to check the official websites of universities nearby, see their prospectus, and verify the eligibility.

Thank you for asking, and I wish you all the best for this next academic journey.
