How do I write a resume for a teacher job in India?

Keep it to 1–2 pages: contact, professional summary, teaching philosophy, qualifications with CTET/TET details, experience with measurable outcomes, subjects taught, and certifications.

A strong Indian teacher resume in 2026 has 7 blocks:

  1. Header — name, phone, email, LinkedIn, city (no full address).
  2. Professional summary — 3 lines: years of experience, boards handled (CBSE/ICSE/IB/State), core subjects.
  3. Teaching philosophy — 1 sentence on your approach (inquiry-based, activity-led, NEP-aligned).
  4. Qualifications — B.Ed, graduation, 10+2 with percentages; add CTET/TET score and validity here — schools scan for it first.
  5. Teaching experience — reverse chronological. Each role: school name, class range, subjects. Use bullets with outcomes: "Improved Class 10 board average from 68% to 79% over 2 years."
  6. Skills & tools — Google Classroom, SmartBoard, LMS, sports/arts specialities.
  7. Certifications — CBSE Capacity Building, Diksha courses, IB workshops, first-aid, POSH.

Export as PDF. Skip photo unless the school explicitly asks. Tailor the summary and skills block to each JD.
