High School Teachers in India (called PGT — Post Graduate Teachers — for Class XI-XII and TGT — Trained Graduate Teachers — for Class IX-X) teach the subject-specialised secondary years (Class IX-XII) where students choose Science (PCM / PCB / PCMB), Commerce (Accounts / Business Studies / Economics), or Humanities streams under CBSE / ICSE / state boards. The Indian path is a Master's degree in the teaching subject (M.A./M.Sc./M.Com.) plus a B.Ed (2 years) and clearing CTET Paper 2 + state TET for government posts. Workplaces span elite private schools (Doon, Mayo Boys/Girls, Welham, Modern, Sanskriti, Pathways, Oberoi International, Inventure Academy, DPS, DAV, JBCN, Heritage Xperiential), CBSE / ICSE / IB / Cambridge-affiliated private schools, central-government chains (Kendriya Vidyalaya KVS, Navodaya Vidyalaya NVS, Sainik Schools), state-board government schools (recruited via TGT / PGT exams under State Public Service Commissions), and the increasingly large competitive-coaching alternative path (Allen Career Institute, FIITJEE, Aakash, Vibrant Academy, Resonance, BYJU's Tuition Centres, PhysicsWallah online) where top-tier subject teachers — especially Physics / Chemistry / Maths / Biology PGTs — can earn ₹15L-1Cr+ per year. Pay scales widely vary: government PGT under 7th Pay Commission ₹45k-85k/month (₹8-15L/year with allowances); elite private PGT ₹6-18L; mid-tier private ₹3-7L; coaching-institute top performers ₹20L-1Cr. The Kota coaching ecosystem and online-coaching (PhysicsWallah, Unacademy, BYJU's) have fundamentally restructured the secondary-teaching economy.

Wake up; quickly review the day's chapters (Electrostatics — Coulomb's law derivations and numericals), check the Class XII Telegram group for student doubts overnight
Reach school; quick standup with the PGT-Physics team; check lab readiness for the practical class scheduled today
Period 1 — Class XII-A Physics theory; numerical practice on electric field calculations with 38 students; cold-call students on Coulomb's law
Period 2 — Class XI-B Physics theory; Newton's laws problem-solving session; balance attention between JEE-aspirant front-benchers and boards-only back-benchers
Short break — check Toddle for parent messages; quick coffee in the staff room; chat with the Chemistry HOD on tomorrow's integrated science quiz
Period 3 — Class XII Physics practical (Group 1, 18 students); supervise potentiometer experiment; spot-check observation tables, sign practical files
Period 4 — Class X CBSE Physics; preparation for board exam (Light — Refraction); chapter revision + 30-minute prelims question paper
Period 5 — Free period; mark Class XII pre-board answer scripts (35 papers, 30 minutes per paper across the week); enter marks in the school's ERP
Lunch break — staff dining room; discuss with the Vice Principal about the Class XII batch's recent JEE Main mock results (3 students cracked 99+ percentile)
Period 6 — Class XII-B Physics; doubt-clearing session for students who missed yesterday's lecture; one-on-one help for two students struggling with EMI
