IGNOU B.Ed degree is acceptable in all private and government institutes, across India. In the field of teaching, there is no such thing as the value of a degree.
You will have to give demo lectures during the recruitment processes at private schools. They will only judge you based on your performance and not on your institute.
If you are applying for any state teacher position, then only your degree will matter and not the university.
