The previous deadline of March 8 has now been moved to March 25. Students who have not yet registered are encouraged to visit the official website to complete their applications. The official website can be accessed at bujhansi.ac.in.
As per the schedule, the admit card for the UP BEd JEE 2025 will be released on April 14, 2025. Candidates will be able to download their admit cards by using their login credentials, which consist of their registration number and date of birth.
Eligibility Criteria for UP BEd JEE Registration 2025:
To qualify for the UP BEd JEE entrance examination, candidates must hold a bachelor’s or postgraduate degree from a recognized university, with a minimum of 50 percent marks in disciplines such as Science, Social Sciences, or Humanities. For those with a degree in Mathematics or a Bachelor of Engineering/Technology (BE/BTech) in Engineering, or any equivalent qualification, a minimum of 55 percent marks is required.
Candidates from the SC (Scheduled Caste) and ST (Scheduled Tribe) categories who have obtained their undergraduate or postgraduate degrees from any legally recognized university, or possess a BE or BTech degree with a focus on Mathematics or Science, or any other equivalent qualification, are also eligible to participate in the examination.
The application fee for candidates belonging to the General and OBC categories is set at Rs 1400. Applicants from the SC/ST categories residing outside Uttar Pradesh are also required to pay Rs 1400, whereas those from Uttar Pradesh will pay a reduced fee of Rs 700.
The UP BEd examination, designated as JEE 2025, is provisionally scheduled for April 20, 2025. This examination will comprise two objective-type question papers. The marking system will follow the established pattern from previous years, awarding two marks for each correct answer and deducting one-third of a mark for each incorrect answer.
Candidates seeking additional information are advised to consult the official website of Bundelkhand University.
In a significant policy shift, the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) plans to reinstate one-year B.Ed and M.Ed programs, nearly ten years after extending their duration to two years. This modification, part of the new draft regulations, is expected to be implemented in the 2026-27 academic year, thereby providing a more expedited pathway to teaching careers for qualified candidates.
The draft regulations for 2025 were recently ratified during a general body meeting of the NCTE and will soon be released for public feedback.
