Teacher Resume Format (India) — Sample + Template
Whether you are applying as a PRT, TGT or PGT, to a CBSE, ICSE or state-board school, this format shows exactly what principals and school management look for: your subjects, classes taught, B.Ed and TET status, and results you have delivered.
What to include in a teacher resume
- Subjects and classes
- Mention the exact subjects and grade range, e.g. "Mathematics, Classes 6–10". Schools shortlist by subject first.

- B.Ed / D.El.Ed, CTET or state TET score and year, and your post-graduation. Put these in Education or a short "Teaching eligibility" line.
- Board experience
- CBSE, ICSE, IB or state board — schools prefer teachers who already know their syllabus and exam pattern.
- Results
- Board result percentages, pass rate improvement, Olympiad selections, or students placed in top colleges.
- Classroom tech
- Smart class, Google Classroom, MS Teams, DIKSHA — most schools now expect some digital teaching.
- Co-curricular roles
- Class teacher, house master, exam coordinator, annual-day in-charge.
