How to get hired as a teacher in Kolkata
A pragmatic checklist informed by hiring managers on the platform — practical, not aspirational.
Confirm you meet the teaching qualification bar
Most private Cambridge schools ask for a graduate degree in the subject you'll teach plus a B.Ed. Government and Kendriya Vidyalaya roles additionally require CTET/TET (Paper I for Classes 1-5, Paper II for 6-8). International-curriculum schools accept IB or IGCSE certification in lieu of B.Ed. If you don't have a B.Ed. yet, D.El.Ed. is acceptable at most primary and pre-primary roles.
Shortlist 15-20 schools in Kolkata that fit your profile
Use the school lists above to find employers whose board, medium and student profile match your experience. Look at the school's founded year, student-teacher ratio and verified status — they signal hiring seriousness. Avoid mass-applying; a tailored 15-school shortlist consistently out-performs 100 generic applications.
Prepare a 20-minute demo class
Almost every teaching shortlist ends in a demo class. Pick a topic from the school's current textbook, plan a lesson with a clear objective, 3-part structure (starter, main, recap) and one differentiation activity. Rehearse until you can teach it without notes. Schools reject strong candidates every year who "knew the topic" but couldn't hold a class of 30.
Apply during the right hiring window
Applications submitted 4-6 weeks before the Mar–May peak land while schools are still shortlisting — off-cycle applications often arrive after decisions have been made. If you're applying mid-cycle, focus on schools that show live openings today — those are actively hiring, not paper-listed. Set a free alert on this page and you'll get pinged the moment a new matching role posts.
Follow up the smart way
Send a short thank-you email within 24 hours of your demo. Mention one specific thing you'd change if you taught the lesson again — schools value teachers who reflect. If you don't hear back in 10 working days, one polite check-in is fine; more than that reads as pressure.
