CICS B.Ed.
CICS B.Ed.
Admission to the B.Ed programme in self-financing colleges under Calicut University is done through the University’s Centralized Admission Process (CAP), and all candidates— including those seeking management, community, sports, and reservation seats—must register online through the university portal.
Apply online on the Calicut University admission portal for B.Ed. Register through CAP even if you are aiming for a management seat in a self-financing college.
Submit the options/preferences for colleges and subjects during the CAP process. Keep the printed application safely; the notification says the application is not complete without the printout being generated. After CAP registration, management-seat candidates may also need to submit a separate application directly to the college. Important points for self-financing colleges
