The programme is self financing, with a total fee of INR 1,80,000, and admits 50 students each year on Class 12 merit.

Ques. Why take Integrated B.Sc B.Ed instead of separate degrees?

Ans. The integrated route saves a year compared with a three year B.Sc followed by a two year B.Ed. It gives a continuous curriculum that ties science content to classroom teaching from the start, with built in school practice. Students who are certain about a teaching career benefit from the unified structure, the school internships and earlier eligibility for science teacher posts.

Ans. The course is self financing, with a fee of INR 45,000 per year charged in addition to the normal admission fee. Over four years this totals INR 1,80,000. The fee reflects the professional teacher training component and the longer duration. Eligible students can apply for Odisha and central scholarships to help offset this cost during the programme.

Ques. What jobs follow an Integrated B.Sc B.Ed?

Ans. Graduates are qualified to teach science at secondary and senior secondary schools in both government and private systems.

Ans. Yes. SC, ST and OBC students can claim Odisha post matric scholarships, and economically weaker students can apply through the National Scholarship Portal at scholarships.gov.in.
