What the BESC-102 Solved Question Paper June 2026 covers
BESC-102 Solved Question Paper June 2026 gives you complete, exam-length answers to all 15 questions IGNOU set in the June 2026 term-end paper, with 2 answers shown in full on this page.
BESC-102 Structure and Management of Education is a Semester II core course of the IGNOU Bachelor of Arts (Education), programme code BAFEDU, that studies how Indian education is governed from the Constitution down to the school office.
The IGNOU BESC-102 Question Paper for June 2026 moves across the whole course. It asks about the Concurrent List, the National Knowledge Commission, NEP 2020 and the RPWD Act, then shifts to cluster resource centres, Anganwadi links, the RMSA merger, affiliating universities and ERP/MIS tools for school fees and scholarships.
One structural fact decides how you should prepare. All four Section A questions in June 2026 came from Block 1 — the constitutional and policy block. Section A is worth 40 marks and offers no alternative, so a learner who skipped Block 1 lost 40 marks with nowhere else to go. Everything else on the paper had a way round it.
Section A: 20 marks for about 500 words · Section B: 12 marks for about 250 words · Section C: 6 marks for about 125 words · eight answers, about 2,250 words, 180 minutes
A mark in Section B or C costs you about 21 words of writing; a mark in Section A costs about 25. Section A is the only part of this paper where you can write a great deal and still be behind the clock.
Our subject experts answered every question in the structure IGNOU examiners expect, after studying earlier papers so you can also see which areas repeat. If you want to compare older sessions first, our IGNOU Previous Year Question Paper collection is a good place to start.
BESC-102 sample answers: Concurrent List and the National Knowledge Commission
Below are complete answers to Questions 1 and 2 from Section A of the June 2026 BESC-102 paper, each written for 20 marks.
Both answers were chosen because they test the policy and constitutional base of the course, which Section A uses heavily. Read them to judge the depth, headings and facts you will find in every other answer. Question wording follows the printed paper.
Question 1 Section A Any 2 of 4 Block 1, Unit 1 20 marks about 500 words Constitutional provisions set in 3 of 4 papers
1. How does the concurrent list shape centre-state coordination in education? 20
India's Constitution divides law-making power through the Seventh Schedule, read with Article 246, into the Union List, the State List and the Concurrent List. Education began as a largely State subject. The Forty-second Amendment Act, 1976, moved it to the Concurrent List, and that change explains most of how the Centre and the states now share and coordinate educational responsibility.
1. From State List to Concurrent List. At commencement, Entry 11 of List II placed education, including universities, with the states, subject to Union entries 63 to 66 of List I and Entry 25 of List III. On the recommendation of the Swaran Singh Committee, the 1976 amendment deleted Entry 11 and widened Entry 25 of List III to cover education, including technical education, medical education and universities, still subject to entries 63 to 66 of List I.
The practical result is that Parliament and the state legislatures can both make laws on school and university education, while the states continue to run most institutions and employ most teachers.
2. Legal rules that govern the shared field
- Article 254: where a state law on a Concurrent subject conflicts with a valid central law, the central law prevails unless the state law has received the President's assent.
- Entry 66 of List I: coordination and determination of standards in higher education and research stay with the Union. This is the basis of the UGC Act, 1956.
- Article 21A: inserted by the Eighty-sixth Amendment, 2002, it made elementary education for children aged 6 to 14 a fundamental right, given effect by the central RTE Act, 2009.
3. How coordination works in practice
- Consultative forum: the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE), first set up in 1920, brings central and state education ministers together on policy.
- Central law, state rules: the RTE Act, 2009 is central, but each state notifies its own rules, academic authority and grievance machinery.
- National norm-setting bodies: NCERT frames national curriculum frameworks that SCERTs adapt; NCTE, a statutory body under the NCTE Act, 1993, sets norms for teacher education.
- Shared financing: Samagra Shiksha is a centrally sponsored scheme, generally funded 60:40 by the Centre and states (90:10 for north-eastern and Himalayan states). States submit annual plans that a Project Approval Board at the Centre appraises.
- National policy, state adaptation: the policies of 1968, 1986 and 2020 are national frameworks that states turn into their own timelines and programmes.
4. Points of friction. Shared jurisdiction also creates tension. States have contested centrally run entrance tests, delays in scheme funds and parts of language policy; Tamil Nadu, for example, has long opposed the three-language formula. States also argue that uniform norms can ignore local context even though they carry most of the salary and running costs.
5. Evaluation. On balance, the Concurrent List has pushed India towards cooperative federalism in education. The Centre sets minimum standards, funds national priorities and builds research capacity, while the states run institutions and adapt curricula to local languages and needs. Coordination works best when CABE meets regularly and scheme guidelines leave room for state variation.
Conclusion. The concurrent list shapes centre-state coordination by making education a shared legal responsibility. It gives the Centre a basis for national standards and missions, leaves the states the operational lead, and makes continuous consultation the core of educational governance in India.
Question 2 Section A Any 2 of 4 Block 1, Unit 2 20 marks about 500 words Education commissions set in 3 of 4 papers
2. Describe key ideas proposed by the National Knowledge Commission on access and governance of higher education. 20
The National Knowledge Commission (NKC) was constituted by the Government of India on 13 June 2005 as a high-level advisory body to the Prime Minister, chaired by Sam Pitroda. Its task was to build excellence in India's knowledge sectors. Higher education was one of its central themes, and its recommendations, sent as letters and reports between 2006 and 2009, addressed both access and governance.
A. Ideas on access and expansion
- Many more universities: the NKC proposed about 1,500 universities nationwide so that India could reach a gross enrolment ratio (GER) of at least 15 per cent by 2015.
- 50 National Universities: new institutions designed as models of excellence for the rest of the system.
- Higher public spending: government support for higher education of at least 1.5 per cent of GDP, within a total of at least 6 per cent of GDP for education.
- Equity: need-based scholarships so that no deserving student is turned away for lack of money, and affirmative action that counts multiple deprivations, such as caste, income, gender and region, rather than one criterion alone.
- Diverse funding: encouraging philanthropic and private contributions to supplement public funds, with safeguards for quality.
B. Ideas on governance and regulation
- Independent Regulatory Authority for Higher Education (IRAHE): a single regulator set up by an Act of Parliament, at arm's length from government, to set entry criteria and grant degree-granting powers. Existing bodies such as UGC and AICTE would have their roles redefined.
- Multiple accreditation agencies: licensed by the regulator, so that quality assessment does not depend on one body.
- Reform of universities: revising curricula at least every three years, moving to a course credit system, giving more weight to internal assessment and keeping universities at a manageable size.
- Loosening the affiliating system: more academic and administrative autonomy for good colleges, so that large affiliating universities are not overburdened.
- Connectivity: a high-speed National Knowledge Network linking universities and research institutions, which the government approved in 2010.
C. Assessment and later influence. Many NKC ideas resurfaced later. The Yash Pal Committee (2009) also argued for a single higher education regulator, and NEP 2020 proposes the Higher Education Commission of India as an umbrella body, together with a GER target of 50 per cent by 2035. At the same time, critics warned that one powerful regulator could centralise control, and the number of universities stayed well below the 1,500 that the NKC had proposed.
Conclusion. The NKC linked wider access with lighter but sharper regulation. Its key ideas were rapid expansion, generous scholarships, a multi-criteria approach to equity, an independent regulator and greater autonomy for institutions, and they continue to shape debates on India's higher education governance.
Exam-hall note on length. Both answers above run a little past the 500 words Section A allows, because the full file doubles as a study resource. In the exam, keep every date, article number and Act name — those are what carry marks — and cut a bullet or two from the longest list instead. For Question 1, four of the five headed sections are enough; for Question 2, three access points and three governance points plus the assessment paragraph will fit.
Questions answered only in the full file
These 13 questions are printed below as they appear in the June 2026 paper, with the paper's own numbers, sections and marks; their answers are available only in the full file.
Where the printed paper has a clear slip, the correct form is given in square brackets.
Section A — Answer any two questions in about 500 words each: 2 × 20 = 40
3. Discuss the important recommendations of National Education Policy (NEP, 2020).
4. How can a secondary school design inclusive assessments under the RPWD Act (2016)?
Section B — Answer any four questions in about 250 words each: 4 × 12 = 48
5. How do cluster and block resource centers [centres] work for academic support in low-resource districts?
6. How can Anganwadi/ECCE centers [centres] link smoothly with early grade learners?
7. How did merging RMSA into Samagra Shiksha affect financing, monitoring and school improvement planning?
8. Explain the concept of practical apprenticeship in vocational education.
9. Differentiate between affiliating and unitary universities.
10. Explain, how [Explain how] are professional development programmes managed in HEIs?
11. Describe, how [Describe how] professional and technical education is governed after 10 + 2 [10+2].
Section C — Answer any two questions in about 125 words each: 2 × 6 = 12
12. Explain two functions of NCPCR and SCPCR under RTE Act.
13. Describe various kinds of documents that the Head of the schools maintain [Heads of schools maintain] for records of schools.
14. Explain the concept of Total Quality Management in Education.
15. How can ERP/MIS help with timetable, fee or scholarship tracking in schools?
Order of attempt. Start with Section B. It carries 48 marks, nearly half the paper, lets you choose four answers from seven printed questions, and pays the best rate of marks for words written. Then take Section C, which hands you 12 marks for about 250 words in total. Leave Section A for last, because it costs a thousand words for 40 marks. If the clock beats you, a slightly thin 20-mark essay costs less than an unattempted 12-mark note in Section B.
BESC-102 Structure and Management of Education syllabus by block
BESC-102 is divided into four blocks on eGyanKosh: constitutional and policy perspectives, school education, higher education, and contemporary trends in educational management.
The block titles below are taken from IGNOU's eGyanKosh course page for BESC-102, and the last two columns link each block to what the June 2026 paper actually asked.
| Block | Block title | Units | Topics examined in BESC-102 papers | June 2026 questions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Block 1 | Constitutional Provisions and Policy Perspectives | Unit 1 Constitutional Provisions for Education; Unit 2 Educational Commissions: A Critique; Unit 3 Educational Policies in India; Unit 4 Emerging Issues and Concerns in Education | Concurrent List and Article 21A; Secondary Education Commission and NKC; NPE 1986 compared with NEP 2020 | Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q12 — 5 questions |
| Block 2 | Structure and Management of School Education | Units 5 to 8, covering pre-primary and elementary education, and secondary and senior secondary education | CRC and BRC support; Anganwadi and ECCE transition; RMSA functions and its merger into Samagra Shiksha | Q5, Q6, Q7 — 3 questions |
| Block 3 | Structure and Management of Higher Education | Units 9 to 12, including Unit 10 College and University Education; Unit 11 Technical and Vocational Education; Unit 12 Open and Distance Learning and Online Education | Affiliating versus unitary universities; regulation of technical courses after 10+2; ODL subsystems such as admission, LMS and learner support | Q8, Q9, Q10, Q11 — 4 questions |
| Block 4 | Contemporary Trends in Educational Management | Units 13 to 16 | Total Quality Management; e-governance and ERP/MIS in schools; globalisation and institutional autonomy | Q13, Q14, Q15 — 3 questions |
Unit totals add up to 16, with four units in each of the four blocks.
Which block you cannot skip, and which you could. Block 1 supplied all four Section A questions, so it is non-negotiable: 40 marks with no alternative anywhere else on the paper, plus the Section C question on NCPCR and SCPCR. Block 3 supplied exactly four Section B questions, which is the number you need, so Block 3 alone could fill that whole section. Block 4 supplied both Section C answers you need. That leaves Block 2, which gave three Section B options and nothing else — in June 2026 it was the one block a learner could have skipped entirely and still scored 100.
If you are still reading the course books unit by unit, pair this page with our BESC-102 Study Material so your notes follow the same four-block order.
BESC-102 exam pattern and marks split for June 2026
The BESC-102 paper carries 100 marks in three hours, and you attempt 8 of its 15 questions across three sections.
| Section | Questions printed | Attempt | Word limit | Marks each | Section total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Section A | 4 (Q1 to Q4) | Any 2 | About 500 words | 20 | 40 |
| Section B | 7 (Q5 to Q11) | Any 4 | About 250 words | 12 | 48 |
| Section C | 4 (Q12 to Q15) | Any 2 | About 125 words | 6 | 12 |
| Total | 15 | 8 | About 2,250 words | — | 100 |
The same three-section layout appeared in the December 2025 BESC-102 Question Paper, so the pattern looks settled for this course. Section B is where most marks sit, so four strong 250-word answers matter as much as the two long essays.
Section B also gives the widest choice on the paper, four answers from seven printed questions, which means you can drop the three Section B topics you know least and still take nearly half the marks. Section A gives you the narrowest choice, two from four, and in June 2026 all four came from the same block.
Because you choose only 8 questions, our file answers all 15 so you can practise every option. You can also browse other papers from the same programme on our BAFEDU Question Paper page.
Topics that keep returning in BESC-102 papers
Vocational and professional education, elementary education and university governance are the most repeated BESC-102 areas, with eight or nine questions each across four official papers.
We counted every question in the only two BESC-102 papers IGNOU has published so far, December 2025 and June 2026, and added the June 2025 and December 2025 papers of BESC-132, the BAG and BAM course that shares the same four block titles. Counting questions rather than sessions gives a finer picture on a course this new: each column below adds up to 15, the number of questions on one paper, and the whole table accounts for all 60 questions across the four papers.
| Topic | BESC-102 Dec 2025 | BESC-102 June 2026 | BESC-132 June 2025 | BESC-132 Dec 2025 | Total questions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vocational, technical and professional education (incl. NSQF, apprenticeship) | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 9 |
| Pre-primary, elementary education, SSA, mid-day meal and ECCE | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 9 |
| University structure, bodies, affiliation and HE governance | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 8 |
| Quality, autonomy, OBE, TQM and globalisation | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 6 |
| Open and distance learning and online education | 2 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 6 |
| NEP 2020 (incl. NPE 1986 comparison, FLN, internationalisation) | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 5 |
| Constitutional provisions, RTE Act and NCPCR/SCPCR | 1 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 5 |
| ICT, e-governance and ERP/MIS in school management | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 3 |
| Education commissions (Secondary, Kothari, NKC) | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 3 |
| Secondary education schemes (RMSA, Samagra Shiksha) | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| Access, inclusion and disability (RPWD Act) | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| School-level bodies and school records | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 |
| Questions per paper | 15 | 15 | 15 | 15 | 60 |
Five themes appeared in all four papers: vocational and technical education, pre-primary and elementary education, university structure and governance, quality and autonomy, and NEP 2020. Of these, university structure is the steadiest at exactly two questions in every single paper, and NEP 2020 keeps changing shape — a comparison with NPE 1986 in one session, foundational literacy in another, a general recommendations question in June 2026. Treat NEP 2020 as a near-certain Section A topic and prepare it in more than one form.
The one clear gap: open and distance learning. ODL and online education produced six questions across the four papers, level with quality and autonomy and ahead of NEP 2020, and it is the only theme in the table that scored zero in June 2026. It ran at two questions in December 2025, three in the BESC-132 June 2025 paper and one in BESC-132 December 2025, then disappeared. Block 3 Unit 12 covers it — ODL subsystems, admission, LMS and learner support — and that unit is the first place to look for December 2026.
Behind it, Secondary education schemes, access and disability under the RPWD Act, and school records each sit at only two questions, so they are thinly sampled rather than skipped. Two of the four papers are from the sister course BESC-132, so those columns are a proxy rather than direct evidence; use the table as a ranked shortlist, not a prediction.
For shorter revision lists across other courses, see our IGNOU Solved Guess Paper page, which follows the same repeat-based method.
How our BESC-102 answers are written and checked
Every answer in our BESC-102 solved file was written by Prateek Talwar, Academic Head, and reviewed by Sheetal Kirola against IGNOU's own course material and official papers.
We start from the official question wording, then plan each answer with an introduction, numbered points under clear headings and a short conclusion. Section A answers use five or six headed points; Section C answers stay tight at about 125 words.
This course is a law-and-policy paper, so references are what earn marks. Every date, article, entry and Act in our answers is checked against the original document rather than filled in from memory: the 1976 shift of education to Entry 25 of the Concurrent List, Article 254 on repugnancy, Entry 66 of List I, Article 21A and the Eighty-sixth Amendment, the RTE Act 2009, the RPWD Act 2016, the 13 June 2005 constitution of the NKC, the NCTE Act 1993 and the NEP 2020 targets. Where a question turns on a provision, we cite the provision instead of paraphrasing it.
Question text is set out as it appears in the official paper, including its numbering. Where the printed paper has a slip, we keep the printed words and give the correct form in square brackets, so you can see what the examiner printed and still write the right thing.
The reviewer then reads each answer for length, relevance to the exact question and examiner-friendly language, so that a student can reproduce it in the hall without rewriting.
BESC-102 solved file index: every June 2026 question mapped
BESC-102 is a theory-only course with no practical or record work, so this index maps all 15 June 2026 questions to their course block instead.
| Question | Section and marks | Topic | Course block and unit | Answer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 | A (20 marks) | Concurrent List and centre-state coordination | Block 1, Unit 1 Constitutional Provisions for Education | On this page |
| Q2 | A (20 marks) | National Knowledge Commission on higher education | Block 1, Unit 2 Educational Commissions: A Critique | On this page |

| Q13 | C (6 marks) | School records kept by the Head of School | Block 4, school administration and records | Full file only |
| Q14 | C (6 marks) | Total Quality Management in education | Block 4 Contemporary Trends in Educational Management | Full file only |
| Q15 | C (6 marks) | ERP/MIS for timetable, fee and scholarship tracking | Block 4 Contemporary Trends in Educational Management | Full file only |
That gives 2 answers on this page and 13 in the full file, 15 in total. Counting by block: Block 1 supplies five questions, Block 3 four, Block 2 three and Block 4 three. The constitutional and policy units therefore deserve the earliest revision, and they are the only route to Section A.
Programmes that study BESC-102 Structure and Management of Education
BESC-102 is a Semester II core course of IGNOU's Bachelor of Arts (Education), BAFEDU, and it is offered in both English and Hindi medium.
Learners enrolled in the IGNOU Bachelor of Arts (Education) sit BESC-102 after the foundation course BESC-101 Education: Concept, Nature and Perspectives, and before the Semester III course BESC-103 on curriculum and assessment.
BAG and BAM students who chose Education study the same subject under the code BESC-132. The course codes follow a simple pattern worth remembering: the BAFEDU versions run BESC-101, BESC-102, BESC-103, while the BAG and BAM versions of the same subjects run BESC-131, BESC-132, BESC-133. The topics overlap and eGyanKosh lists the same block titles, but the term-end papers are separate, so always check that the file you buy matches the code on your hall ticket.

BESC-102 FAQs
What is in the BESC-102 Solved Question Paper June 2026?
It contains complete answers to all 15 questions of the official IGNOU June 2026 term-end paper for BESC-102 Structure and Management of Education. Section A answers run near 500 words, Section B near 250 words and Section C near 125 words, matching the lengths printed on the paper. Two answers are shown on this page and the other 13 are in the full file.
How do I get the full BESC-102 solved file on WhatsApp?
Send a WhatsApp message to 9899436384 with the course code BESC 102 and the session June 2026. Our team replies with the price and payment details, and once payment is confirmed you receive the complete file. It contains answers to all 15 questions, including the 13 that are listed on this page only as question text without any answer.
Which BESC-102 questions are answered on this page?
Two Section A questions are answered in full here: Question 1 on how the concurrent list shapes centre-state coordination in education, and Question 2 on the National Knowledge Commission's ideas on access and governance of higher education. Both are 20-mark questions. The remaining 13 questions appear only as printed text, and their answers are in the paid file.
How many questions must I attempt in the BESC-102 exam?
You attempt eight of the 15 questions in BESC-102. Choose any two of the four Section A questions at 20 marks each, any four of the seven Section B questions at 12 marks each, and any two of the four Section C questions at 6 marks each. That adds up to 40, 48 and 12 marks, giving the maximum of 100 marks in three hours and roughly 2,250 words of writing.
Which section of BESC-102 should I attempt first?
Section B. It carries 48 of the 100 marks, more than any other section, it lets you pick four questions from seven, and a mark there costs about 21 words against 25 words in Section A. Do Section B first, then Section C for a quick 12 marks in about 250 words, and keep Section A for last. If time runs short, a slightly thin 20-mark essay costs you less than an unwritten 12-mark note.
Which block of BESC-102 must I prepare for the exam?
Block 1, without question. In June 2026 all four Section A options came from Block 1, the constitutional and policy block, so 40 marks had no alternative route. Block 1 also supplied the Section C question on NCPCR and SCPCR, five questions in all. Block 3 supplied exactly the four Section B answers you need and Block 4 supplied both Section C answers, while Block 2 gave only three Section B options, so Block 2 was the one block a learner could have skipped in June 2026.
Which BESC-102 topics repeat most in IGNOU papers?
Across the four official papers we checked, vocational, technical and professional education and elementary or pre-primary education each produced nine questions, and higher education structure and governance produced eight. Five themes appeared in all four papers: those three plus quality and autonomy, and NEP 2020. Constitutional provisions and open and distance learning also returned regularly, so these areas deserve the most revision time.
Which BESC-102 topic was skipped in June 2026?
Open and distance learning and online education. It had produced six questions across the four papers we counted, more than NEP 2020, and then scored zero in June 2026. Block 3 Unit 12 covers it, including ODL subsystems, admission, the learning management system and learner support, which makes that unit the first place to look when preparing for December 2026.
Is BESC-102 the same as BESC-132 Structure and Management of Education?
Not exactly. BESC-102 is the course code used in the IGNOU Bachelor of Arts (Education), BAFEDU, while BESC-132 is the code used for BAG and BAM learners. On eGyanKosh the two courses list the same four block titles, which is why we compared both papers when studying topic repeats, but you must write the code printed on your own hall ticket. The same pairing runs through the programme: BESC-101 matches BESC-131 and BESC-103 matches BESC-133.
How long should BESC-102 Structure and Management of Education answers be?
Follow the word limits printed in each section of the BESC-102 paper. Section A asks for about 500 words, Section B for about 250 words and Section C for about 125 words. Examiners reward a short introduction, clearly headed points with acts, articles or years where relevant, and a brief conclusion, which is exactly the structure our answers follow throughout.
Who wrote and reviewed the BESC-102 solved answers?
The BESC-102 answers were written by Prateek Talwar, Academic Head of Unnati Educations, and reviewed by Sheetal Kirola before release. They were prepared after studying the official BESC-102 papers of December 2025 and June 2026 along with the sister course BESC-132, and every fact such as an article number, amendment or year was checked against official sources.
