CSJMU B.P.Ed : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. B.P.Ed. (Bachelor of Physical Education) is a 2-year NCTE-approved teacher training programme specifically designed for those who want to become Physical Education teachers in schools and colleges. It requires a graduation degree with sports participation as eligibility. B.P.E.S. (Bachelor of Physical Education and Sports) is a 3-year undergraduate programme open to 10+2 pass students, focused more broadly on sports and physical education. If your goal is to become a PE teacher in a government school, B.P.Ed. is the right choice as it is the recognised qualification for TGT/PGT Physical Education posts. B.P.E.S. is better suited for those who want a broader sports career or wish to pursue M.P.Ed. later.
