How do I get a teaching job in Bangalore?

Bangalore has ~1,800 schools across CBSE, ICSE, IB, IGCSE and Karnataka State board — one of India's most active teacher-hiring markets.

Best channels in 2026:

1. Direct school careers pages — Deens, NPS, Inventure, Greenwood, Ekya, Vibgyor, Global Indian International, Oakridge, TISB, Canadian International, Stonehill.
2. SchoolJobsIndia — filtered by Bangalore + subject + board.
3. LinkedIn — most metro CBSE/IB schools list openings here first.
4. Referrals — join Bengaluru Teachers WhatsApp/Facebook groups for word-of-mouth openings.

Timing: peak hiring windows are March–May (before June academic year start) and October–November (mid-year replacements). Avoid August–September and December — schools freeze hiring during exams and vacations.

What Bangalore schools screen for: strong spoken English, CBSE/ICSE experience or an IB workshop certificate, Google Workspace/LMS fluency, and openness to project-based learning. Karnataka TET is required for Karnataka-board schools; CTET is preferred for CBSE.

Salary bands (2026): PRT ₹28,000–₹60,000; TGT ₹35,000–₹75,000; PGT ₹50,000–₹1,10,000; IB PGT ₹1,00,000–₹2,50,000.
