Yes! You are eligible to pursue a career as a teacher if you have completed a BA Geography or MA Geography degree. However, you should consider also pursuing a B.Ed. It will help you increase your chances of securing a job in a school, as most schools prefer to hire teachers with a B.Ed. If you want to become a government school teacher, you will also have to clear the TET examination, which is conducted annually and is used for hiring teachers in government schools across India.Hope this helps you.

Students who want to study Geography courses at the UG level (BA Geography) need to complete their 12th grade from a recognised board. Most colleges allow students from all streams to study Geography as long as they graduate with a minimum of a 40-45% score.

It is advised that students check the eligibility criteria of the colleges they wish to apply to.
