IB vs CBSE — teacher pay
- IB / IGCSE schools: ₹8–18 LPA for PGT-equivalent, ₹12–30 LPA for IB Diploma / DP coordinators.
- Top private CBSE schools: ₹5.5–9 LPA for PGT.
- Government CBSE (KVS/NVS): ₹7.5–12 LPA CTC including allowances.
IB schools expect an IB Educator Certificate, prior IB teaching experience, or a PGCE / Cambridge PDQ. B.Ed alone is usually not enough for IB DP subject teachers.
