Assistant professor of education

Assistant Professor — Education (B. Ed)

Banaras Institute of Teacher's Education (BITE), Babatpur, Varanasi

Full-time · On-site

BEFORE YOU APPLY — FOUR CHECKS

Please confirm all four before submitting. Applications that do not meet them are not shortlisted, and we would rather save you the effort.

You hold an M. Ed with at least 55% marks from a recognised university, per NCTE norms. You hold a Ph D in Education, awarded — not submitted, not pursuing. This is a hard requirement, not a preference. UGC NET alone does not meet it. You have at least five years of teaching experience, in a school or a teacher-education institution. You have supervised trainee teachers through school internship or teaching practicum. In your covering letter, state how many trainees you have supervised, over what period, and at which institution. This is the single thing we look at first.

THE ROLE

B. Ed is BITE's founding programme. It has run continuously since 2003, and many of our 5,000+ alumni are working teachers across Uttar Pradesh and Bihar because of it. You will teach on it.

The role covers pedagogical methods, curriculum design and educational psychology — and, significantly, supervision of the 16–20-week school internship (400+ hours) that anchors the programme, including partner-school placements across Varanasi. That supervision is not administrative overhead. It is where trainee teachers either learn to hold a classroom or don't.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Teaching

Foundation papers: philosophical and sociological foundations of education, educational psychology, and the history and politics of Indian education Curriculum design, assessment and evaluation, and educational technology Subject-pedagogy methods courses with structured micro-teaching practice — lesson planning, skill-wise micro-teaching cycles, and peer feedback Creating an Inclusive School, Gender School and Society, and value education papers as the NCTE framework requires

School practicum and internship supervision

Plan and run the 16–20-week school internship — partner-school allocation, scheduling, and coordination with school heads Conduct classroom observation and provide structured feedback on lesson delivery Review and evaluate lesson plans, teaching diaries, reflective journals and internship records Maintain relationships with partner schools across Varanasi so placements remain available and welcome Assess practicum performance to NCTE evaluation standards

Compliance, research and mentoring

Maintain NCTE compliance in documentation, delivery and records Integrate CTET and UPTET (Paper II) preparation into coursework, as the programme design requires Guide action-research projects and dissertations Mentor trainee teachers on employment pathways — TET, Super-TET, government recruitment, and private school placement Contribute to departmental research output and institutional academic and co-curricular activity
