While there are 70 seats for the B.Sc. programme, there are 50 and 25 seats for the B.P.Ed. and M.P.Ed. courses respectively.

“The B.Sc. course can be done after Class XII, while only those candidates who have completed their graduation can apply for the other two. The B.P.Ed. is a one-year teacher training course for school teachers and the M.P.Ed. a two-year degree course for college teachers,” said Principal D. K. Kansal.

The last date for applying for the B.Sc. course is June 9, and for the other two programmes June 21.
