Applicants need to have a Bachelors/Masters degree in any discipline with minimum 45% marks or equiv
SES’s MA Education programme is an attempt to bring together the elements of both liberal and professional preparation of educators. It is one of the few programmes in India that makes possible the study of education both as a social phenomenon and an area of knowledge, while developing the skills needed for professional practice.
This programme has intense field based components at both school and non-school sites. These field components provide a space to the graduates to engage with critical debates in education as they examine the field realities and understand the contexts of education. Many graduates eventually work as teachers, teacher-educators, curriculum developers, researchers, consultants and professionals in government and non-government organisations.

What are the Career Options after MA Education?
What is the difference between MEd and MA Education in the Indian context?
The answer to this question is not straightforward. This is because there is a lack of consensus on what constitutes a postgraduate professional preparation or study in education. However, the following can be said based on the practice and regulatory contexts in teacher education in India:
The 2-year MEd is generally (not unanimously though) considered as a professional programme that is directed at preparation of teacher educators. For awarding an MEd degree, an institution must have the recognition from the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) that regulates teacher preparation in the country. Along with this, a university offering the MEd degree should be recognized by the UGC. The 2-year MA Education programme is generally considered to be a liberal programme aimed at engaging with the field (or discipline) of education, pursuing research, working as practitioners in various educational settings and to teach at University level. A university recognized by UGC is eligible to award the MA degree.
Norms for becoming eligible to work as teacher educators in recognized institutions: As per the NCTE norms 2014, both MEd and MA Education degrees (with an initial teacher preparation and relevant master’s degrees) open-up avenues for teaching in different teacher education related programmes. Each teacher preparation programme has different norms for faculty qualifications. The candidates interested in the programme are advised to carefully read the NCTE Regulations. In addition to these, any other stipulation by the UGC (such as NET, PhD, etc.) also applies. The NCTE regulations change from time to time and so do the norms for faculty qualifications. The graduates of both the programmes are eligible to take the NET examination.
