Please confirm all four before submitting. Applications that do not meet them are not shortlisted, and we would rather save you the effort.

1. You hold an M.Ed with at least 55% marks from a recognised university, per NCTE norms.
2. You hold a PhD in Education, awarded — not submitted, not pursuing. This is a hard requirement, not a preference. UGC NET alone does not meet it.
3. You have at least five years of teaching experience, in a school or a teacher-education institution.
4. You have supervised trainee teachers through school internship or teaching practicum. In your covering letter, state how many trainees you have supervised, over what period, and at which institution. This is the single thing we look at first.

B.Ed is BITE's founding programme. It has run continuously since 2003, and many of our 5,000+ alumni are working teachers across Uttar Pradesh and Bihar because of it. You will teach on it.

The role covers pedagogical methods, curriculum design and educational psychology — and, significantly, supervision of the 16–20-week school internship (400+ hours) that anchors the programme, including partner-school placements across Varanasi. That supervision is not administrative overhead. It is where trainee teachers either learn to hold a classroom or don't.

· M.Ed with at least 55% marks from a recognised university, per NCTE norms

· At least five years of teaching experience, in a school or a teacher-education institution. State where, what you taught, and for how long

· Demonstrable experience supervising school teaching practicum or internships — stated with numbers in your covering letter

· Strong classroom communication in Hindi and English. Trainees come largely from Purvanchal and Bihar, teaching is bilingual, and the demo lecture is assessed on it

· Familiarity with NEP 2020 and NCTE curriculum frameworks

· Understanding of CTET / UPTET requirements and pattern

· UGC NET in Education, in addition to the doctorate

· School teaching experience at secondary or senior-secondary level — trainees respond differently to someone who has held a real classroom
