Somaiya College of Education (also known as K J Somaiya School of Education), part of Somaiya Vidyavihar University in Mumbai, Maharashtra, offers teacher education programs like B.Ed, M.Ed, and MA in Educational Management & Leadership (MAEML). Admissions for 2026 emphasize entrance exams such as PERA CET, MHT CET, or CUET, followed by merit-based selection and personal interviews.
Aspiring students must first qualify in PERA CET 2026, MHT CET 2026, or CUET 2026, with registration via the PERA website (peraindia.in). They then apply online through the college portal at education.somaiya.edu, paying a non-refundable fee of INR 1000. Provisional seats are allotted based on entrance scores, qualifying marks, and availability, notified via email; selected candidates attend a Somaiya Personal Interview, with final confirmation upon document verification and fee payment.
Programs like B.Ed (intake: 100) and M.Ed (intake: 50) follow this for the 2026-27 academic year, with spot rounds for vacancies announced on the website. Additional phases may occur if seats remain.
For B.Ed, candidates need Indian nationality and at least 50% marks in a Bachelor's or Master's degree (Sciences/Social Sciences/Humanity/Commerce) from a UGC-recognized university; engineering/technology graduates (in Science/Math/Pharmacy/Law/Management/Fine/Performing Arts) require 55%. A qualifying score in PERA CET/MHT CET/CUET 2026 is mandatory.
M.Ed requires a B.Ed or B.A. in Education degree. MAEML targets graduates interested in educational leadership, with similar entrance requirements. Relaxations may apply for reserved categories as per the Maharashtra government norms.
