The counselling will be held on October 8 and 9 from 11:00 a.m. onwards at the Centre for Distance and Online Education (CDOE), HPU, Summer Hill, Shimla.

According to the Coordinator of the Central Committee for B.Ed. Admission, the counselling will cover vacancies in the Department of Education, HPU, Government College of Teacher Education, Dharamshala, Kangra, and self-financed B.Ed. colleges affiliated with the university for the 2025–2027 session.

Eligible candidates—those securing a minimum of 53 marks in the B.Ed. Entrance Test for unreserved categories and 45 marks for reserved categories—can apply for the on-spot counselling from October 4 to 7 (midnight) through HPU’s admission portal. Applications may also be considered during the counselling days, subject to seat availability.
