Top 10 MEd Colleges in India

One of the most noble professions that anyone can fathom, teaching, has existed since generations. What began as an age-old practise of passing concepts and ideas by word of mouth, soon changed its form and teaching began to be associated with the gurukula system (wherein the students would go to live in the teacher's house, who will impart knowledge to the students in such a quiet ambience that is holistic to learning).

 

With time (the British colonial rule did have a major role to play in this) all of this gave way to the modern education system and teaching became a much more organised profession.

Things began to change and a graduate degree became the prerequisite for teaching at any level. Specialised courses like BEd came into the picture and only those who had this degree were deemed fit for the job.

Soon a bachelor's degree in education was not considered to be enough and organisations started demanding a master's degree as well. Thus, a number of institutions started offering the same. In such a situation it became very difficult for students to make a pick as to which institution is good and which one is not. To help such students, here is a list of top 10 institutes in the country that offer a master's degree in education.

1. Department Of Education, University Of Delhi, New Delhi
