Not every path into special education needs to start with a bachelor’s degree. For students who’ve just finished Class 12 and know they want to work with children with disabilities, the D.Ed Special Education programme at MJRP University offers a direct, RCI-approved route into the profession — with specializations in Visual Impairment (VI) and Intellectual and Developmental Disability (ID).

It’s ideal for those who want to start working in special schools, early intervention centres, or inclusive classrooms without first completing an undergraduate degree.

Why Start with D.Ed Instead of Waiting for a Degree?
For many students, especially those from families where an early start to earning matters, D.Ed offers a faster, more affordable entry point into a stable, purpose-driven career. It also gives students real classroom experience before deciding whether to pursue a full B.Ed or further specialization — reducing the risk of committing years to a path that isn’t the right fit.
