B.Ed (Bachelor of Education) is a 2-year degree that trains teachers for Class 6 to Class 12. D.El.Ed (Diploma in Elementary Education) is a 2-year diploma that trains teachers for Class 1 to Class 8. Both courses are offered in Siliguri and across West Bengal, but they differ in eligibility, syllabus, and the level at which you can teach.<\/p>

Should I do a B.Ed or a D.El.Ed?<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Both are teacher training courses. Both lead to a classroom. But they are not the same – and choosing between B.Ed & D.El.Ed Courses without proper information can cost you time, money, and the exact job you were aiming for.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
