Around two lakh degree holders will benefit from judgment

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court has held that B. Ed. degree holders are also eligible to apply for the post of primary school teachers.

Around two lakh B. Ed. degree holders across the country will benefit from the judgment by a Division Bench of the Court, comprising Justice Mukul Mudgal and Justice Aruna Suresh.

The order came on a bunch of petitions by a batch of 29 B. Ed. degree holders challenging a judgment by the CAT in 2005 holding that only Junior Basic Teacher diploma holders were eligible for being appointed as primary school teachers in Kendriya Vidyalayas.

Counsel for the petitioners Surat Singh submitted that the KVS had in its advertisement in February 2005 invited applications from JBT diploma holders as well as B. Ed. degree holders for recruiting 1,000 primary teachers. Some JBT-trained candidates had moved the CAT against the decision of the Sangathan . The CAT had allowed their petitions holding that B. Ed. degree holders were not eligible to apply.
