West Bengal to Ban 225 Self-Financed BEd Colleges from Enrolling Students

The West Bengal education minister issued a directive today that about 225 self‑financed BEd colleges will be barred from enrolling students in the upcoming academic year. The move follows a review of the institutions’ compliance with state regulations and accreditation standards. The ban will take effect from the next admission cycle, effectively preventing these colleges from admitting new candidates. The minister emphasized that the decision aims to protect students from institutions that have failed to meet mandatory criteria for quality education.
