Questions about B.P.Ed.

How many Central Universities offer B.P.Ed.?

10 Central Universities offer B.P.Ed. in 2026-27, in 11 programmes with 653 seats counted.

Which entrance exam is needed for B.P.Ed. in Central Universities?

B.P.Ed. programmes are filled through the university's own entrance test (4 programmes), CUET (PG) (4 programmes) and CUET (UG) (3 programmes). The route is fixed programme by programme, so two universities can use different tests for the same degree.

Which Central University has the most B.P.Ed. programmes?

By the number of B.P.Ed. programmes on offer: VBU (2), AMU (1), BHU (1) and DHSGU (1).

Is the B.P.Ed. fee the same at every Central University?

No. Every university fixes its own fee and prints it on its own basis: a semester, a year, at admission or the whole programme. The tables here give each fee as printed, with its basis, so that no two different bases are compared by mistake.

How to read these figures

Seats are the intake the university has printed for the programme. Where a university prints none, the cell says so and the programme is left out of the totals.
Fee is shown exactly as printed, with its basis (a semester, a year, at admission, the whole programme or a credit). Two fees on different bases are not ranked against each other.
Entrance is the route the university names for that programme this year. The CUET (PG) paper code is shown where the university lists one.
Each row opens the programme's own page on this site, with its seat matrix, eligibility and the document the figures were read from.
