Those who wish to pursue the Bachelor of Arts Bachelor of Education Course (BA B.Ed) from Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (IPU) should note that the University has announced that the first round of offline counseling for BA B.Ed admissions will take place on July 17, 2026, at the Dwarka Campus, to conduct document verification and allot seats based on merit.
This counseling round is available for candidates who qualify the National Common Entrance Test (NCET) 2026 and who have submitted an application for admission to the BA B.Ed Course.
Who Can Attend the Counseling?
Only candidates who fulfill the following criteria can attend the counseling:
- Qualified NCET 2026
- Submitted an application for admission to the BA B.Ed program at IPU
- Satisfy the minimum eligibility criteria as specified by the University
- The University will perform a document check and will allot seats based on merit for the counseling session.
- Documents to be Carried by Applicants
The candidates should bring the following documents with them to avoid delays:

- Four passport-size photographs
- The NCET/CET admit card
- Rank card

Candidates who do not have a required document or the admissions fee may be unable to complete the counseling process. The IPU has stated that on July 17, document verification and seat allotment will be finalized in a single multi-stage counselling session. Verified documents will then allow seat allotment based strictly on merit order. Currently, the BA B.Ed programme (Code 161) has an intake of 50 students and is being offered at the University School of Education, Dwarka Campus.
Deadline for Cancellation of Seats Allocated in Counselling
Seats allocated to a candidate during the counselling process may be canceled by the candidate by July 27, 2026, as per the admission schedule of the University, if the candidate decides to withdraw from the admission process.
Significance of the BA B.Ed Programme
Students enrolling in the four-year integrated BA B.Ed programme obtain a bachelor’s degree and a B.Ed degree in teacher training by the end of the programme. Integrated teacher education programmes are now part of the NCET, which aims to provide pathways for the integrated model within the teacher education system in India.

Final Thoughts
The first offline counseling session will be on July 17. Eligible NCET participants should get everything ready before the date.

Since both the verification and the merit-based allotment of seats will happen on the same day, thorough preparation will help the candidate complete the process on the same day and secure one of the 50 seats available for IPU's BA B.Ed. program.
