How to Verify a College’s Affiliation Status
Expert Teacher Tip: “Always check the ‘NCTE Recognition’ status specifically for B.Ed colleges. A college may be affiliated with KSDSU but may have its B.Ed recognition suspended or under review. Never pay admission fees without verifying the current year’s affiliation letter.”
To verify online:
- Visit the official KSDSU Academic Portal.
- Navigate to the ‘Colleges’ tab under the ‘Academic’ menu.
- Check for the ‘List of Affiliated Colleges 2026’.
- Cross-reference the college code on your Bihar B.Ed CET allotment letter.
