Official Entrance Schedule 2026

The 2026 B.Ed. admission and test cycle under SAMS Odisha follows a defined sequence from application to answer key challenge. The most important dates for B.Ed. candidates are listed below.

The hall ticket is to be hosted through the State Selection Board website, with a link also made available on the SAMS portal.

Exam Pattern and Marking Scheme

The official B.Ed. brochure confirms that the entrance test will be conducted in OMR-based offline mode with multiple-choice questions. The test is designed to assess common aptitude as well as stream-specific subject knowledge.

The paper has two compulsory parts. Section I is common for all candidates. In Section II, candidates must answer the set relevant to the group they choose, either Arts or Science.

Section-Wise Syllabus Overview

The B.Ed. entrance test is split into two sections. Section I is compulsory for all candidates from both Arts and Science groups. Section II is stream-based and must be attempted according to the group selected by the applicant.

Section I is the same for everyone. Section II differs by stream:

• Arts group: General English, Odia, History and Political Science, Geography and Economics
• Science group: Physical Science, Biological Science and Mathematics

All questions in both sections are objective type, so speed and accuracy both matter because negative marking applies.

B.Ed Arts Stream Syllabus

Candidates choosing the Arts group have to prepare both the common Section I topics and the Arts-specific Section II subjects. The official marks distribution for the Arts stream is given below.

Important topics listed in the brochure include comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, punctuation, grammar, Odia language basics, India and world history, Indian Constitution and fundamental rights, legislative and judicial institutions, latitude and longitude, physical division of India, natural resources, conservation of forest and wildlife, and basic features of the Indian economy.

B.Ed Science Stream Syllabus

Candidates choosing the Science group also attempt the same Section I, but their Section II is made up of Physical Science, Biological Science and Mathematics. The official subject distribution is straightforward and balanced.

The brochure specifically lists topics such as atomic structure, chemical reactions, laws of motion, work and energy, electricity and magnetism, heat, light and sound, number system, ratio and proportion, relations and functions, linear and quadratic equations, logarithms, trigonometric ratios, geometry, cell structure, plant and animal diversity, natural resources, ecosystem, pollution, and basic physiological functions in plants and animals.

Eligibility Criteria for B.Ed 2026

The SAMS Odisha B.Ed. brochure and official FAQ set out the base eligibility for candidates applying to the 2-year B.Ed. course. Students should check their academic category carefully before filling the form.

• Candidates with at least 50% aggregate marks in a Bachelor's degree and/or Master's degree in Sciences, Social Sciences or Humanities are eligible.
• For SEBC, SC, ST and PwD candidates, the minimum required mark is 45%.
• Engineering or Technology graduates with specialization in Science and Mathematics need at least 55% marks, or 50% for reserved categories.
• The official FAQ states that there is no age limit for B.Ed.

The official notice also allows candidates whose final undergraduate results are still awaited to apply for the entrance test. However, such candidates must update their marks and complete choice locking within the prescribed timeline to remain in consideration for admission.

Application Fee, Seat Basis and Choice Locking

The 2026 official FAQ provides the category-wise CAF fee for Teacher Education admissions. The brochure also confirms that seat allocation is made through the entrance test and later online choice locking of institutions.

Important admission points:

• B.Ed. selection is based primarily on entrance test performance under SAMS.
• Candidates must later lock institution choices within the schedule announced after the exam.
• For B.Ed., the official FAQ says candidates can give a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 30 preferences.
• The brochure notes that the institutions and seat matrix are divided across regular and self-financing seats.

Admit Card, Answer Key and Result Process

The official 2026 schedule gives a clear post-application workflow. Candidates should follow both the SAMS Teacher Education portal and the State Selection Board portal because different stages are published on different official platforms.

• Hall ticket download starts on 27 May 2026 from 2:00 PM onwards.
• The admit card is to be hosted on the State Selection Board website, with a linked access path on the SAMS portal.
• Provisional answer keys are scheduled to be hosted on 4 June 2026.
• Candidates can raise objections from 5 June 2026 to 7 June 2026 by paying Rs. 200 per challenged question.
• Final answer key, handover of marks, publication of entrance marks, graduation mark updation, choice filling and provisional seat allotment are to be notified later.

Because the admission timeline is described as tentative in the official advertisement, students should keep checking the portals even after downloading the hall ticket.

How to Check the Exam Date on te.samsodisha.gov.in

If you want to verify the B.Ed. exam date directly from official sources, use the Teacher Education portal and the Higher Education Department notice instead of relying only on third-party summaries.

1. Visit the Teacher Education portal at te.samsodisha.gov.in.
2. Open the B.Ed. key dates page or the Information Brochure section.
3. Read the e-Admission Datelines for B.Ed. 2026.
4. Cross-check the Higher Education Department advertisement for the 2026-27 Teacher Education timeline.
5. Before the exam, visit the State Selection Board website for hall ticket and answer key updates.

The safest approach is to keep screenshots or downloaded copies of the notice, brochure and hall ticket once they are made available on the official portals.
