About Presidency College of Education
About Presidency College of Education Bangalore
Presidency College of Education Bangalore is part of the Presidency Group of Institutions — one of Bangalore's well-known private educational networks that also operates Presidency University, Presidency College, and school-level institutions. Established in 2001 and affiliated with Bangalore City University, the college is NCTE-approved and holds NAAC B+ accreditation. It offers the B.Ed programme for teacher education aspirants who want to combine professional teacher training with the advantages of Bangalore's large and diverse school employment market.
Bangalore's status as Karnataka's largest city — and one of India's fastest-growing urban centres — gives Presidency College of Education graduates immediate access to one of India's most extensive private school sectors. CBSE, ICSE, IB, IGCSE, and Karnataka State Board private schools operate in large numbers across Bangalore, creating consistent demand for qualified B.Ed teachers year-round.
Programme and Methodology
| Programme | Duration | Affiliation | NAAC |
|---|---|---|---|
| B.Ed | 2 years | Bangalore City University | B+ |
The B.Ed programme offers methodology subjects in Science, Mathematics, Social Science, English, and Kannada — the primary subject specialisations for secondary school teaching. Theory coursework follows NCTE norms covering educational psychology, pedagogy, curriculum development, and school management. Teaching practice is conducted in reputed Bangalore schools where the college has established internship partnerships, giving student teachers exposure to well-run urban school environments.
KTET and CTET Coaching
Presidency College of Education integrates KTET (Karnataka Teacher Eligibility Test) and CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) preparation into its B.Ed programme. Both tests are mandatory prerequisites for government school teaching appointments in Karnataka and central government schools (KV, JNV) respectively. Building TET coaching into the programme ensures graduates are exam-ready by the time they complete the degree — reducing the gap between B.Ed completion and government school employment eligibility.
Bangalore School Placement Advantage
Bangalore's private school sector — spanning hundreds of CBSE, ICSE, and international curriculum schools — creates a continuously active job market for qualified B.Ed teachers. Presidency College of Education's location in the city and teaching practice partnerships with established Bangalore schools give graduates a direct entry point into this employment market. The Presidency group's institutional network provides additional placement support through alumni connections.
Hostel and Admission
