If you plan to teach at secondary level and want the exact course pattern under TU, the B.Ed. at Dharan City College gives a structured route with a major–minor model, practicum, and annual exams.
TU’s Faculty of Education runs a four-year B.Ed. with annual examinations. Students complete 22 courses across five groups and prepare to teach two subjects at secondary level.
Structure: Groups A–E covering Communication Skills, Professional Core, Specialization Major, Specialization Minor, and Teaching Internship/Practicum.
Total: 22 courses, 2200 marks over four years.
Purpose: Preparation for teaching two subjects in secondary schools.
Here’s what you’ll study and choose.
Group A (Compulsory): General Nepali and General English.
Group B (Professional Core): Philosophy & Sociology of Education, Educational Psychology, Curriculum & Evaluation, plus one ICT-related elective.
Group C (Major): Choose one area—Nepali, English, Math, Science, Health & Physical Education, Population, Geography, Economics, History, Political Science.
Group D (Minor): Choose a different subject area from the list; Biology minor is required for Physical Science majors.
Group E: Teaching Internship/Practicum in the final year.
The four-year B.Ed. introduces a major–minor model to strengthen subject mastery and pedagogy, replacing the older single-specialization format.
Graduates enter school teaching, education NGOs, test preparation centers, and local education projects. The major–minor structure supports flexibility across two subject areas.
Students learn core pedagogy, curriculum planning, assessment, classroom psychology, and ICT use. Subject courses in the major and minor build depth for secondary teaching.
Language and communication through General Nepali/English.
Pedagogical methods and assessment via Professional Core.
ICT for teaching through Ed. 442/443/444 options.
Supervised practicum for classroom readiness.
Classes at DCC combine lectures, group work, and classroom presentations. The TU structure includes practicum and emphasizes course-embedded assessment.
General eligibility: HSE (Grade 12) or PCL or equivalent for entry to B.Ed., with subject-specific rules for majors. Examples: English Education needs either an English/Linguistics major or 50% in General English, or qualifying the campus entrance test; Science Education requires Physics, Chemistry, and Biology at 100 marks each.
Most graduates teach in secondary schools after practicum. Others move into education support roles and local academic coordination.
Need- and merit-based support is available at the college as per policy. Visit the office for the current list during admissions.
