What TGT roles typically look like
A TGT usually handles 4-6 sections of the same subject across Classes 6-10 — around 25-30 teaching periods a week. Add class-teacher duty (attendance, parent meetings, report cards), invigilation, and one or two co-curricular clubs, and the total workload is 45-50 hours a week during term time.
The role rewards subject mastery. Unlike PRT where classroom management is the primary hurdle, TGT candidates get grilled on subject depth in the interview — expect a written test in your subject and a demo class on a Class 9 or 10 topic.
Salary bands by subject and board
Maths / Physics / Chemistry TGTs (highest paid): ₹32,000-₹58,000 at CBSE, ₹48,000-₹95,000 at IB/IGCSE. Strong subject supply-demand imbalance.
English / Social Studies TGTs: ₹28,000-₹45,000 at CBSE, ₹42,000-₹78,000 at IB/IGCSE.
Hindi / Sanskrit / Regional-language TGTs: ₹22,000-₹38,000 at CBSE, ₹35,000-₹58,000 at top IB schools with Indian-languages programmes.
SEN / Learning-support TGTs: ₹35,000-₹65,000 at CBSE, ₹55,000-₹1,10,000 at IB — one of the fastest-appreciating specialist roles.
The TGT interview process, end-to-end
Round 1 — written subject test. Usually 45-60 minutes, Class 9-10 board-level questions plus one open-ended pedagogy question. Score above 70% to move on.
Round 2 — demo class. 20-25 minutes on a topic assigned 24-48 hours in advance. Prepare a lesson plan, at least two teaching aids, and a formative-assessment question. Do not lecture — the panel is watching for student-engagement techniques.
Round 3 — principal interview. Values, philosophy, discipline questions, and salary. Come with a printed CV, testimonials and any exam-body affiliations (CBSE examiner, ICSE moderator) — these are heavy tiebreakers.
