Teach in Pune

Pune has one of the most active teaching-hiring markets in Maharashtra, with a mix of legacy CBSE schools, established ICSE campuses, and a growing set of IB and Cambridge (IGCSE) schools. Long-established chains sit alongside new-age progressive schools — the range of pedagogies on offer is unusually wide for a single city.

Salary bands in Pune typically run higher than the national average, especially for PGT roles at senior-secondary level and for early-years leadership positions at international campuses. Schools in outer neighbourhoods often pair a slightly lower base with transport and housing allowances; central-district schools compete on brand and professional-development budgets.

Peak hiring season runs February through June for the new academic year, with a second push in October–November for mid-year replacements. New teachers moving to Pune usually shortlist by board first (CBSE vs ICSE vs IB), then by school-tier and commute distance.
