B.Ed Special Degree is Equivalent to B.Ed: Verdict by CAT

B.Ed Special Degree, B.ED Nursary and B.ED all courses are bachelor courses. Candidate will have to teach in class at various levels. Here we are have a big question that are all B.ed courses same or equivalent ? Candidate will gt answer from judgement passed by the Central Administration Tribunal (CAT) that B.Ed Special degree will be treated equally with the B.Ed degree. From now on, the B.Ed Special Degree holders will be eligible to apply for general teaching posts released across the country. This verdict of the Central Administration Tribunal has come as a great breath of relief for the candidates who have completed their B.Ed Special and are in search of teaching jobs.

Approximately, One Lakh candidates across the nation will be benefitted from this verdict. One such candidate is Uma Rani who was disqualified by the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) as a teacher (TGT Hindi). The Central Administrative Tribunal member, Justice R.N. Singh and Tarun Sridhar observed since both B.Ed and B.Ed Special are the same, therefore, DSSSB cannot disqualify Uma Rani as a TGT Hindi (General Teacher). The CAT also mentioned that if Uma Rani is successful in the DSSSB Exam then DSSSB has to appoint her.

This verdict has expanded the horizon of scope for the B.Ed Special Degree holders immensely. Now on, they will be able to not just apply for Special Teacher Posts, but they will be able to apply for the General Teachers Posts released in the country as well. Earlier, the B.Ed Special Degree holders were eligible for only special education posts released by various recruitment boards in India.

Under the Inclusive Education Policy, special children are entitled to receive education under the same roof as the other children. After the verdict by the Central Administration Tribunal, the B.Ed Special Degree holders will be able to teach regular and special children in regular schools along with other teachers.
