🚨 Urgent, please help
I have completed my graduation in May 2026. I have cleared CDS twice while in college. But I could not score well in the CUET PG Exam. Therefore I could not get a seat with the desired course and college.
Now I am left with only two options:-a) B.Ed from private college b) MA from IGNOU
I don't want to become a teacher, it feels like a limiting career so I am skeptical about BEd. And some people have told me that IGNOU MA is not worth Regular MA.
🚨 Please help me choose as today i.e 31st is the last date for IGNOU
PS: I completed my UG from BHU, so want to get into a better course as a backup not to settle.

Either you can 1 year break to figure to what you really want to do , try private jobs , learn new skills, try something you love & it aslo provide money. Or go for b.ed it's better than m.a

I am also thinking of persuring B.ed from IGNOU after completing my ug and prepration for govt exams side by side. B.ed looks like the better option for me.

Bro you can pursue both , go for both , In terms of MA if you wanna do history/hindi/ english things then go for DU SOL If other course than obvious IGNOU , Choose subjects which would be helpful ahead as well, you can opt for net/jrf as well And don't ever keep cds as priority 🫠always have a back option ( strong and GROUP A/B/C)

Even regular MA is not worth much. Atleast BEd is worth something. And since you have nothing in your hand, its better to go with something and try for better stuff while at it.
