To pursue a career as a Post Graduate Teacher (PGT) in History, you'll need to meet specific eligibility criteria. Since you've completed B.Ed. with Commerce as your pedagogy subject and (link unavailable), you'll need to assess your eligibility for PGT History positions.


Eligibility for PGT History

- For PGT positions, you typically need a postgraduate degree in the relevant subject, which in your case would be History.

- Given that you're planning to pursue an MA in History (Hons) through distance learning, you'll need to check if the program is recognized by the relevant authorities, such as the National Council of Teacher Education (NCTE) or the University Grants Commission (UGC).


State Vacancy Eligibility

- Eligibility criteria for state vacancies may vary depending on the specific state and its recruitment rules.

- Some states might require you to have a degree in Education (B.Ed.) with a specific subject specialization, while others might prioritize your postgraduate degree in History.


Central Vacancy Eligibility

- For central vacancies, the eligibility criteria are typically more standardized.

- You'll likely need to meet the requirements set by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) or other central government agencies responsible for teacher recruitment.


To confirm your eligibility for PGT History positions in state or central vacancies, I recommend:


1. Checking the official websites of the relevant authorities, such as the NCTE, UGC, or CBSE.

2. Reviewing the recruitment rules and eligibility criteria for PGT positions in your desired state or central government agencies.

3. Contacting the relevant authorities or a career counselor for personalized guidance.


By taking these steps, you'll be able to determine your eligibility for PGT History positions and plan your career accordingly.

Hello there,

To become an IPS officer , you need to clear the UPSC Civil Services Exam (CSE) . Since you are from a commerce background , you can choose any degree, but here are some good options:

Hello Adeeb,

Since you are in 12th Commerce without Math , you can still apply for BBA programs at Delhi University (DU) but with some limitations.

DU Colleges for BBA Without Math:

You are eligible for BBA (FIA), BMS, and BA (Hons) Business Economics if you qualify CUET (Common University Entrance Test) . Some good colleges offering BBA/BMS in DU include:

  1. Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies (SSCBS)
  2. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College
  3. Keshav Mahavidyalaya
  4. Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce

    Can You Take Math Separately & Apply?

Yes! You can appear for NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) Math exam as an additional subject. If you clear it before DU admissions and meet the required criteria, you can apply for BBA (FIA) and BMS in all colleges where Math is compulsory.

Next Steps:

  1. Register for CUET and check specific subject requirements for your preferred course.

  2. If you plan to take Math from NIOS, ensure you complete it before DU admissions start.

  3. Prepare for CUET’s Quantitative Aptitude & General Test to score well.

If you don’t take Math, you’ll still have good DU options but fewer choices in top BBA programs.
