Education and Career Forum

Hi,

I have completed my B.Com and 'A' Level Computer Course. I am 24 years old now. I am interested in making career in teaching. So please tell me if my present qualification is enough for the purpose?

No, your present qualification is not quite enough for you to become a teacher. You will probably have to have a B.Ed degree and clear CTET examination in order to be eligible to opt for a teacher job in any good school.

It's good that you have completed your B.Com with 'A' level Computer course but I am sorry to say that this is not enough in order to become a teacher in any good school.

You should have a B.Ed degree along with CTET result in order to be eligible to apply for as a teacher.

These days B.Ed is a compulsory qualification for becoming a teacher. In government schools you can't get teaching job without B.Ed qualification.

Private schools may hire you for teaching posts without B.Ed buy that is very rare these days because most of them give preference to B.Ed qualified candidates.

Yes on the basis of your graduation level you can apply for Teacher Eligibility Test to serve as a teacher in a school upto class 10th:
