The Tamil Nadu Open University has called for applications for admission to its B. Ed Special Education programme for the academic year 2023-24.
The course has been approved by the University Grants Commission and recognised by the Rehabilitation Council of India. The State government considers the degree equivalent to B.Ed (normal) degree for employment in its schools, private schools and CBSE schools in the State, according to K. Rathnakumar, registrar. It is only the second university to offer the course in south India. The other university is Karnataka State University.
The TNOU offers the course through government and RCI approved Learners Support Centres. The online application may be accessed at www.tnou.ac.in until Feb. 8. Contact: 044-24306617 for details.
“We have offline classes also and these candidates are eligible to apply for posts under normal B.Ed courses. We have only 500 seats in the course and expect around three or four times more applications than the number of seats,” he said.
