Teacher Resume Format India
Resume format for school and college teachers — CBSE, ICSE, state board.
Format expectations for Indian teachers
Schools (CBSE, ICSE, state board) and colleges in India look for: B.Ed / M.Ed credentials prominently, subject expertise, board examination training experience, classroom management examples with quantified outcomes, and any role beyond teaching (sports coordinator, exam committee, debate team).
Government schools and CBSE-affiliated schools weight government training (DIET, SCERT) and CTET / TET qualifications heavily. Private schools weight student outcomes (board results, competitive exam selections) more.
What to highlight
Lead with your B.Ed and the subjects you teach. List CTET / TET qualifications next. Mention years of experience and the boards you've taught (CBSE / ICSE / state). Quantify results: 'Students average 87% in CBSE Class 12 Physics across 4 years.'
Include co-curricular contributions — running the science fair, exam invigilation duties, parent-teacher coordination — as separate bullets. Schools value teachers who do more than classroom duty.

FAQ
Yes for fresher teachers. Skip after 5+ years of teaching experience — outcomes matter more than your own marks at that stage.
1 page for freshers, 2 pages for 5+ years experience. Longer if you've held leadership roles (HOD, principal, vice-principal).
