West Bengal B.Ed College List 2026: Baba Saheb Ambedkar Education University (BSAEU) has released a notification about the reported cancellation of approvals; check the university-wise list of names. Cancel B.Ed College List: On September 04, 2026, the approval of 253 B.Ed colleges was revoked by the Babasaheb Ambedkar Education University of West Bengal.
A list claiming that the approval of 253 B.Ed colleges in West Bengal was revoked on September 4, 2026, has surfaced, putting the spotlight on teacher education institutions across the state. The document attributes the action to Babasaheb Ambedkar Education University of West Bengal and provides a long university-wise list of institutions.
The list covers colleges and teacher-training institutions associated with several universities, including Calcutta University, West Bengal State University, the University of Burdwan, the University of Kalyani, the University of Gour Banga, Sidho-Kanho-Birsha University, Vidyasagar University, the University of North Bengal, Jadavpur University and Rabindra Bharati University. An entry for Aliah University also appears at the end of the document, although the college names under that heading are not visible in the supplied pages.
West Bengal B.Ed College List: What does the B.Ed college list say?
According to the document, the approval cancellation concerns a large number of teacher education institutions spread across different parts of West Bengal. The names include government institutions, university departments, mission-run colleges, women’s colleges and private teacher-training institutions.
For students, the development is particularly important because B.Ed is a professional teacher-training qualification. Any change in a college’s approval or affiliation can raise questions about admission, continuation of courses, examinations and the validity of the qualification.
However, students should not assume that the appearance of a college’s name in this circulated list automatically means that their existing course or qualification has been cancelled. The final position should be checked against the official order and the latest information issued by the concerned university and regulatory authorities.

West Bengal B.Ed College List 2026: Verify the 253 figure before taking any decision
There is an important point readers should keep in mind. The document’s opening statement says that 253 B.Ed colleges had their approval revoked, but the visible university-wise numbering in the supplied images appears to contain more entries than 253 when the sections are counted individually. The document also ends with the Aliah University heading without showing its entries.
Because of this apparent numerical mismatch, the list should be treated as a document requiring official verification, rather than as the final word on the status of every institution named in it.
Students currently studying B.Ed, as well as candidates preparing for admission, should check the latest official notification of their university and the competent regulatory authority before making any decision about admission, continuation of studies, examination or transfer.
West Bengal B.Ed College List: What should B. Ed students do now?
If your college appears in this list, do not panic based solely on a social media post or an unverified copy of the document.
Instead:
- Ask your college for its latest approval and affiliation status.
- Check the concerned university’s official notification.
- Confirm the status of your particular B.Ed session or academic year.
- Keep copies of admission, registration and examination documents.
- Wait for a formal clarification before taking any major decision.
The circulated document has put the spotlight on a large number of B.Ed and teacher-training institutions across West Bengal, from Kolkata and South 24 Parganas to Burdwan, Nadia, Murshidabad, Malda, Purulia, Midnapore and North Bengal.
But the exact legal and academic impact on students should be confirmed through the official notification. Until that confirmation is available, the appearance of a college’s name in the supplied list should not by itself be treated as proof that students’ degrees, ongoing courses or examinations have been cancelled.
