IS B.ED COMPULSORY FOR ASSISTANT PROFESSOR..?
Hi,
No, a B.Ed. is not compulsory to become a lecturer. If you have cleared UGC Net exam, then you are required to enroll in a Ph.D. programme.
You can also enroll in a M.Phil. programme. A Ph.D. is considered as a higher level degree than M.Phil. In order to appear in UGC NET examination, you must have cleared your master's degree examinations or appearing in final year examination.
You can conduct independent research and get employed in colleges and universities as a Lecturer. You may also read a career as a Teacher .
B.Ed (Bachelor of Education) is not necessary to become a college professor. But if you want to become a associate professor in a B.Ed college then you should have B.Ed and M.Ed degree. Other than this, B.Ed is only necessary to become a teacher.
And, to become a professor, you must have basic general qualifications :
PhD/ NET (National Eligibility Test)/ SLET (State Level Eligibility Test)/ Field Expertise/ Experience.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
