For students who already know they want to specialize in intellectual disability education, doing a B.Ed and then a separate M.Ed can mean years of extra time and expense. MJRP University’s Integrated B.Ed–M.Ed Special Education (Intellectual Disability) programme solves that problem — combining both degrees into a single, streamlined pathway.
What Makes This Programme Different?
Instead of completing a 2-year B.Ed followed by a separate M.Ed, this integrated programme allows students to earn both degrees together in a structured, RCI-approved curriculum. It’s designed for those who are ready to commit early to a specialization in Intellectual Disability (ID) and want to fast-track their way into advanced roles in special education — including teacher training, curriculum design, and educational leadership.
Programme Details
- Course: Integrated Ed–M.Ed Special Education (Intellectual Disability)
- Duration: 3 years
