Kumaun University BEd Entrance Exam 2025-27
इस वर्ष उत्तराखंड के विश्वविद्यालयों से संबद्ध महाविद्यालयों में बी.एड पाठ्यक्रम में प्रवेश मेरिट सूची के बजाय प्रवेश परीक्षा के आधार पर होगा। कुमाऊं विश्वविद्यालय नैनीताल को राज्य के विश्वविद्यालयों के लिए बीएड प्रवेश परीक्षा 2025-27 आयोजित करने की जिम्मेदारी दी गई है। श्रीदेव सुमन विश्वविद्यालय और सोबन सिंह जीना विश्वविद्यालय अल्मोड़ा की बीएड प्रवेश प्रक्रिया भी कुमाऊं विश्वविद्यालय द्वारा ही पूरी की जाएगी।
इससे पहले जून माह में उच्च शिक्षा विभाग की ओर से श्रीदेव सुमन विश्वविद्यालय को सोबन सिंह जीना विश्वविद्यालय अल्मोड़ा और कुमाऊं विश्वविद्यालय नैनीताल समेत तीन विश्वविद्यालयों में मेरिट के आधार पर बीएड में प्रवेश देने की जिम्मेदारी दी गई थी। लेकिन अब सरकार ने बीएड कॉलेजों में मेरिट के बजाय संयुक्त प्रवेश परीक्षा आयोजित कर प्रवेश देने का निर्णय लिया है।
