This study was conducted to identify the problems faced by the prospective teachers during teaching practice at the B. Ed (Hone) level. The study was descriptive by nature and a survey was conducted to collect the data. There were a total of 134 prospective teachers enrolled in semesters 4th and 8th. A universal sampling technique was used to draw the sample from the population. The study was delimited to the University of Kotli AJ&K and Affiliated colleges (Sir Syed College, Guidance College). A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was used in this research. Data were collected personally by the researcher after testing the reliability and validity of the study. The data collected were analyzed by applying frequency, percentage, and mean. It was found that ninety-two percent of prospective teachers agreed that prospective teachers face difficulty in using methods according to the needs of students. Therefore, it is recommended that there be a seminar or workshop before sending the prospective teachers to the schools.
