There is a misconception about college lecturer job, that B.Ed can land you a job. My answer is No. You need more than Bachelor's degree. The best way to become college lecturer is appearing in the teaching eligibility tests specialized for lecturers/Professors. Three exams that I would refer: CSIR NET UGC NET GATE UGC and CSIR are for Post graduates while GATE is for Engineering Graduates. Other State level Lectureship exams are: SLET Apart from these, most of the private colleges recruit lecturers based on their merit and performance in interview held by the organization. For being lecturer in Medical colleges, you need to appear in PhD in medical streams. The interview phase will decide your fate as lecturer in the institutes like AIIMS, MCC, etc.

If a candidate wants to become a college lecturer he or she has to complete at least Masters in the selected field. Bachelors from any course makes the candidate eligible for teaching at school level but after doing Masters and M.Ed candidates are eligible for teaching in the college. After completing Masters course the candidate has to appear in the exam conducted by CBSE named UGC NET exam in which Masters candidate from all over India appear and accordingly their score certificates are made and then candidates are eligible for teaching in any UGC recognized college of India according to the vacant seat for lecturer or professor.
