Salaries

Honest salary bands for education roles — the numbers most boards keep quiet.

City-and-role salary reports built from confirmed offers, not from wishful postings. The data a teacher needs to know what a role should actually pay before walking into a negotiation.

Sample bands

What education roles pay, by role and city

A clearly-illustrative sample of how a salary band reads — a low, a median and a high, with the number of confirmed offers each band rests on. Live bands plug in behind the same shape.

Role	City	Low	Median	High	Offers
PGT · Physics	Lucknow	₹38,000	₹50,000	₹62,000	134
TGT · Mathematics	Patna	₹28,000	₹36,000	₹44,000	94
PRT · Primary	Jaipur	₹18,000	₹24,000	₹30,000	120
PGT · Chemistry	Jaipur	₹36,000	₹47,000	₹58,000	57
Non-teaching · Accounts	Lucknow	₹22,000	₹30,000	₹38,000	134
Non-teaching · Counselling	Jaipur	₹26,000	₹36,000	₹46,000	100

Bands are illustrative samples here, drawn from the same schema live reports use. Each real band rests on confirmed offers in that city for that role — not on advertised figures, and not on what a school hopes to pay.

Why we publish this

Salary honesty is the point, not a feature

A teacher who knows the band negotiates from facts, not from fear. Publishing real bands moves the conversation away from take-it-or-leave-it and toward what the role is worth.

Bands rest on confirmed offers, so a posting that claims one figure and pays another shows up as a flag. A salary-claim-versus-reality gap is something we surface, not hide.

It is the data nobody publishes, and that is exactly why it matters. The Hindi belt especially has had to guess at fair pay; an honest band is a small correction to that.

Know the band before you negotiate.
