I have completed B. A. M. S from Rajiv Gandhi University of health sciences, bangalore. I now want to apply for teaching job in kendriya vidyalaya. What is the procedure for applying? Do I have to do B. Ed course? Or is there something else? Because one of my friend has done B. Tech and got job in kendriya vidyalaya without doing B. Ed.

To apply for a teaching job in Kendriya Vidyalaya, you need to meet the eligibility criteria set by the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS). The eligibility criteria for the post of PGT or TGT are as follows:

• You should have a Bachelor's degree in the relevant subject with at least 50% marks. For some subjects, a Master's degree is required.
• You should have a B.Ed. degree or equivalent from a recognized university.
• You should have qualified in the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) conducted by CBSE.

Since you have a BAMS degree, you may not be eligible to apply for the post of PGT or TGT in Kendriya Vidyalaya as your degree is not in a subject that is taught in schools. However, you can check the KVS recruitment notifications for any special recruitment drives for medical professionals.

Regarding your friend who got a job in Kendriya Vidyalaya without a B.Ed. degree, it may be possible that they were hired for a non-teaching position or as a contractual teacher. It's always best to check the eligibility criteria before applying for any job.
