To become a secondary school teacher, you need to finish your 10+2+3 in any subject. Your undergraduate subject could be any one in the field of arts/humanities or sciences. Post your graduation, you need to pursue your Masters opting for a specialisation in your UG subject. For example, if you pursued B.Sc in Maths, you can do an M.Sc in operational research. Once you're done with your Masters, you need to complete a b.Ed program. Depending on your preference, you may opt for a full time or a correspondence (distance learning) option for your B.Ed. These three qualifications deem you fir to become a secondary school teacher. The candidate can pursue B.Ed after undergraduate degree also and then do a Masters. The eventual career path you will assume will that be of a Trained Graduate Teacher or a TGT. The career path is highly respected and enriching.

Secondary school teaching requires Bachelors in Education, a 2-year degree program having Bachelor's degree in Arts or science stream (BA or B.Sc) as a minimum qualification. Apart from this, it is strongly recommended to do other courses for an added advantage to teach higher classes. One can pursue PGT and TGT courses after passing Master's degree. One can also do vocational courses to get benefits in a specific field. Eligibility tests needed to qualify for teaching: As per Right to Education Act norms, it has become mandatory to pass teacher eligibility tests to join in a school as a teacher. The objective behind this is to provide quality schooling and trained staff to bring excellence in academics for the students. TET (Teacher Eligibility Test): Every state conducts its own TET exam at the primary and secondary levels of teaching. These tests are conducted by NCTE (National Council for Teacher Education) after passing D.Ed or B.Ed. One can clear this test within a period of 5 years from the time the test is first notified. CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test): To qualify for central government or private schools, one has to clear CTET exams. These tests were conducted by NCTE but in 2011, these tests were conducted by CBSE board for the first time. Both CTET and TET exams are conducted in two parts: one is for those who want to become a teacher to teach classes I to V and the other for classes VI to VIII. Candidates who want to teach in elementary and senior schools need to clear both the tests. One should score more than 60% to qualify the exam as per NCTE norms. Hope this helps.
