Question

My percentages in 10th and 12th is below 60%. Can I apply to become a teacher?

Community Answer

Yes, because when you are being interviewed, interviewers do not even look at the report card of yours, but they look for your capabilities instead.

Question

Is teaching experience required to be a teacher, or is it possible to teach and purse my degree at the same time. If it is possible, what is the procedure?

Community Answer

It depends on the school you want to teach. Most schools, especially middle and high schools (O levels and A levels, 6-12 grade/year) require you to have a degree. Private schools are even stricter about this. If you are planning to teach for elementary school, you might be able to slip by. If you are close to graduation, you could also negotiate with the school and maybe come to an agreement.

Question

I am working on my BSC in biology. After I complete it, should I work toward my MSC or B.ed to become a teacher in India?

Community Answer

It depends on what type of teacher you want to become. I suggest you go with MSC and prepare for the NET exam. When you become a professor, you can teach at any university.

Question

How do I become a Telugu teacher in India?

Community Answer

You need to earn a bachelor of arts degree in Telugu. You will probably need to obtain a bachelor's degree in education for your teaching certification. However, not all schools require it. If you are planning on becoming a professor, you need a master's degree and doctorate degree as well. If you are planning on becoming a schoolteacher, you only need a bachelor's degree.
