Every two-year B.Ed seat in Patna's government, constituent and private colleges is filled through a single state Combined Entrance Test (CET-B.Ed.). For 2026, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bihar University (BRABU), Muzaffarpur, was the nodal university, taking over from LNMU Darbhanga, which ran earlier editions. One counselling covers the colleges of Patna University, Patliputra University, Aryabhatta Knowledge University, Maulana Mazharul Haque Arabic and Persian University and other Bihar universities.

Register for counselling and choose colleges
Register for counselling (22-28 June 2026 for the first round) and choose 3 to 10 colleges. You can submit your choices only once. Once a college is allotted to you, you cannot take part in later rounds.
Confirm admission at the college
Report to the allotted college with your original documents. The college verifies them on the portal using an OTP from you, and you pay the college fee. Seats still vacant later go to instant online admission and a final first-come, first-served round.
Documents to prepare
Keep school and qualifying-degree marksheets, identity proof, photographs and the relevant application or allotment record ready. Category, domicile, migration, transfer and gap certificates may be required where applicable. Follow the exact checklist in your current notice.
