Become a JEE / NEET Coach.

Elementary School Teachers (called Primary School Teachers in India) teach the foundational K-5 / Class I-V years — the section where literacy, numeracy, basic science, social studies, art, and core social-behavioural habits are formed. The Indian path is B.A./B.Sc. + B.Ed. (Bachelor of Education, 2 years), or 4-year integrated B.El.Ed (Bachelor of Elementary Education at Delhi University), followed by passing TET (state-level Teacher Eligibility Test) and CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test administered by CBSE) — both mandatory under the Right to Education Act 2009 for any government or recognised private school posting. Workplaces span elite private day schools (Doon, Mayo Boys/Girls, Welham, Modern, Sanskriti, Pathways, Oberoi International, Inventure Academy, Heritage Xperiential, DPS network, DAV network), CBSE/ICSE/IB/Cambridge-affiliated mid-tier private schools, state-board government schools (UP, Bihar, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu state recruitment via TGT/PGT exams), and Kendriya Vidyalaya / Navodaya / Sainik School central-government chains. Pay scales widely vary — government teachers under 7th Pay Commission earn ₹35k-65k/month for entry-level primary section, plus DA/HRA/pension benefits; elite private schools like Doon or Pathways pay ₹6-15L/year for senior primary teachers; mid-tier private schools pay ₹2.5-5L/year. The DIKSHA platform, NIPUN Bharat foundational-literacy mission, and the New Education Policy 2020's foundational stage redesign are reshaping pedagogy nationwide.

Sports Coaches in India plan and deliver training for athletes across school PE programs, private academies, state sports associations, Khelo India centres, and SAI (Sports Authority of India) residential schemes. The majority of practicing coaches in India hold an NIS Patiala Diploma or Certificate in Coaching (issued by NSNIS — National Sports Institute) in one of 30+ disciplines, supplemented by sport-specific certifications from national federations (AFI for athletics, AIFF for football, Hockey India, Basketball Federation of India). Entry roles are school PE teacher-cum-coach or assistant coach at Khelo India District Centres; mid-tier coaches manage state-league squads, JSW Sports Academy batches, or Reliance Foundation Young Champs pipelines; senior coaches at SAI National Centres of Excellence (NCOEs) and Olympic-feeder programs touch ₹25-50L per year. The profession runs on periodization — planning macrocycles, mesocycles, and training blocks aligned to competition calendars — alongside real-time fitness monitoring, video analysis via Dartfish and Hudl, and athlete-specific nutrition and recovery protocols.

Special Education Teachers in India work with children with disabilities — autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, intellectual disability (ID), cerebral palsy (CP), and multiple disabilities — designing and implementing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) that map each child's present levels of performance to measurable annual goals. In India through 2026, the role operates inside two ecosystems: inclusive schools (Inventure Academy Bengaluru, Heritage Xperiential Gurugram, Akshar School Ahmedabad, Indus International, Sancta Maria Hyderabad, Vidyasagar Chennai) and specialist institutions (Action for Autism Delhi, Sankalp Charitable Trust Gurugram, Latika Roy Foundation Dehradun, Tamana Special Schools Delhi) where sped teachers work alongside occupational therapists (OTs), speech-language therapists (SLTs), and clinical psychologists. Registration with the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act 2016 is mandatory for practising as a special educator in India; unregistered practitioners cannot legally be hired in funded sped roles at recognised institutions. Evidence-based intervention approaches — Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), TEACCH, Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), Makaton — drive daily practice, and documentation quality (IEP files, behaviour support plans, progress-monitoring data) is as load-bearing as classroom delivery.

Preschool Teachers in India work with children aged 2-6 inside franchise chains (Kidzee, EuroKids, Bachpan, Mother's Pride, Treehouse, Footprints, Shemrock, Kangaroo Kids), Montessori-certified stand-alone schools, and the crèche/balwadi networks run under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme. The role is rooted in play-based pedagogy — planning thematic units aligned with Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) developmental milestones or the NIPCCD (National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development) early-childhood framework, running Montessori three-period lessons or Reggio Emilia project-based explorations, and tracking each child's gross-motor, fine-motor, language, and social-emotional progress through anecdotal records and portfolios rather than formal exams. Unlike primary school teaching (Class 1 onwards), preschool work requires deeper knowledge of attachment theory, child separation anxiety, toilet training support, sensory play design, and developmentally appropriate practice (DAP) for the 2-6 age window — and a fundamentally different classroom management approach suited to toddlers rather than school-aged children.

Career Counsellors in India decode the gap between a student's aptitude, interests, and personality, and the 600+ career paths the Indian education system rarely explains clearly — using validated tools like the Holland Code (RIASEC), DBDA (Differential Aptitude Battery), 16PF, MBTI, and DMIT to map fit. The work runs across three delivery channels: school-employed counsellors (usually a single counsellor per large CBSE/ICSE private school), independent practitioners running private-practice from clinics or home-studios (50-200+ sessions per month, billed ₹1,500-8,000 per session), and platform-based counsellors on Mindler, Univariety, iDC, CareerGuide.com, and GrowMore. The parent-counselling burden in India is disproportionately high — 60-70% of sessions involve at least one parent with pre-set views on medicine, engineering, or civil services, requiring counsellors to simultaneously work with the student's data and reframe the family's script. Senior independent practitioners with 500+ client books and online content presence (YouTube, Instagram reels on career awareness) cross ₹35L per year; the Mindler and Univariety founders and personalities like Mahima Tendulkar represent the brand-scale ceiling.

Dance teachers in India work across a layered ecosystem: Shiamak Davar Institute of the Performing Arts (SDIPA) and Terence Lewis Professional Training Institute (TLPTI) franchise studios in Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi; Bollywood Dance Academy (BDA) chains; classical institutions like Kalakshetra Foundation (Chennai) and Nrityagram (Bengaluru) for Bharatanatyam and Odissi; and the fast-growing online segment where a single teacher can run 200+ students across Zoom, Skype, or YouTube memberships. The work splits sharply between classical (Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Odissi, Manipuri — rooted in Adavu sequences and Tala cycles) and Western/Bollywood (hip-hop, jazz, contemporary, fusion choreography for school recitals, wedding parties, and corporate events). School-appointed dance teachers under PT/arts departments are a distinct sub-segment with government pay scales; freelance choreographers who also teach operate the highest-earning version of this role. Entry is accessible without formal degrees — SDIPA, BDA, and Kalakshetra certificate programs are the dominant credential signals.

Medical Oncologists in India design and deliver systemic cancer therapy — chemotherapy, immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1, CTLA-4 inhibitors), targeted therapy (HER2, EGFR, ALK, BRAF inhibitors), and hormone therapy — across haematological and solid tumours. The Indian training path is MBBS → MD General Medicine (or MD Paediatrics for paediatric oncology) → DM Medical Oncology (3 years) via NEET-SS, with premier seats at Tata Memorial Centre Mumbai, AIIMS Delhi, PGI Chandigarh, JIPMER, RCC Thiruvananthapuram, CMC Vellore, and government cancer institutes in each state. Workplaces span Tata Memorial, AIIMS, SGPGI, Apollo Cancer Centres, HCG Network (50+ centres), Cytecare Bangalore, Manipal Comprehensive Cancer Centres, Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute Delhi, and the emerging standalone cancer hospitals under the Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY NABH-CCC accreditation framework. Oncology in India is a mission-critical specialty facing demand that far outstrips supply — 1 oncologist per 2 million Indians — and a disease burden of 1.4 million new cases per year, making it one of the highest-growth, highest-complexity branches in Indian medicine.

Medical Affairs Managers sit at the intersection of clinical science and commercial strategy inside pharma companies — they are the scientific conscience of the brand. In India, this means working at MNCs like Pfizer, Novartis, GSK, MSD, AstraZeneca, and Roche India, or at large domestic houses like Sun Pharma, Cipla, and Glenmark, where the role covers Key Opinion Leader (KOL) engagement, Medical Information Request (MIR) response, post-marketing surveillance (PMS) strategy, and scientific communication to external and internal stakeholders. Entry is almost always through an MSL (Medical Science Liaison) field role, requiring MBBS or Pharm.D at minimum — most senior incumbents hold an MD, DM, or a pharma MBA from institutions like BITS or Symbiosis. The career rewards scientific rigour, relationship depth with top KOLs (oncologists, cardiologists, diabetologists), and regulatory fluency around off-label promotion rules and PhRMA/UCPMP codes.

Operations Managers run the day-to-day execution engine of a company — they own how work flows, how teams hit targets, and how cost, quality and SLA stay in balance. They design processes, build dashboards, run weekly business reviews, fix broken handoffs between teams, and manage the people closest to the actual work. In Indian startups, the Ops Manager is often the second or third hire after the founders — running supply, fulfilment, customer support, and city-level launch playbooks at companies like Swiggy, Dunzo, Zomato, BlueStone, Lenskart and Urban Company. In larger corporates (Reliance, Tata, ITC, HUL) the role sits closer to plant ops, manufacturing excellence, or shared-services delivery. Distinct from Project Managers (who own a single deliverable on a timeline) and from General Managers (who own the full P&L) — an Ops Manager owns the recurring machinery of how the business actually gets work done.

Gynaecologists in India (Obstetricians and Gynaecologists — OBG) manage the full spectrum of women's reproductive health: menstrual disorders, infertility work-up, contraception, menopause management, gynaecological oncology screening, and obstetric care from antenatal booking to delivery and postpartum review. The training path is MBBS → MS/MD Obstetrics & Gynaecology (3 years, NEET-PG), with premier seats at AIIMS Delhi, PGIMER Chandigarh, KEM Mumbai, JIPMER, CMC Vellore, and all major government medical colleges. Private practice in India is exceptionally strong — a mid-level gynaecologist running a combined OPD + maternity unit in a tier-2 city can clear ₹30-80L annually. Operative gynaecology (Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy, myomectomy, ovarian cystectomy, hysteroscopy) and high-risk obstetrics (gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, LSCS) are the clinical backbone; the PCPNDT Act and MTP (Medical Termination of Pregnancy) Act are the India-specific regulatory framework every practitioner navigates.
