The main objective of the present research work was to study the challenges faced by pre-service teachers while learning school internship in a B.Ed. program through blended learning. This research work was based on the descriptive survey method. 75 pre-service teachers were selected as a sample through the purposive sampling technique. A self-made ‘blended learning approach challenge questionnaire’ was used to collect research-related data. Based on the results of the data analysis, it was found that pre-service teachers faced various types of technical, social, and psychological problems while learning through blended learning.
