There are two types of SEI fellowships:

A) SEI Undergraduate Fellowship (part-time appointment)

About the Fellowship:

Part-time SEI Fellows teach Science and Mathematics for 6 hours every week in a classroom from grades 5, 6, or 7 in Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) schools.
Fellows will receive a stipend of ₹250 for a session of 2 hours and an experience certificate after successful completion of the fellowship for one year.
Fellows will receive extensive training in pedagogy, classroom management, and content before they are placed in a classroom. They will be responsible for teaching Science and Math in their classroom for the complete academic year.

Who can apply?

Anyone currently doing B.Sc., M.Sc., B.Tech./B.E., M.Tech./M.E., B.Ed., M.Ed., M.Phil., or Ph.D.
Anyone who has graduated with a B.Sc., M.Sc., B.Tech./B.E., M.Tech./M.E., B.Ed., M.Ed., M.Phil. or Ph.D.
Anyone in their undergraduate or postgraduate Science/Math degree having a gap year/sabbatical year.
No language barriers, but applicants with proficiency in Marathi preferred.

Time commitment:

The part-time fellowship is for one academic year (June 2018 to April 2019).
Ideally, the Fellows teach 3 sessions per week – each session lasting 2 hours – in the classroom. Additionally, Fellows commit to 4 hours of preparation and training per week.
We accommodate curricular commitments (lectures, practicals, tests) and the Fellow schedules are drawn up by taking fellows’ college timetable into consideration.

B) SEI Graduate Fellowship (full-time appointment):

About the fellowship:

Full-time SEI Fellows teach Science and Mathematics in 5 classrooms from the grades 5, 6, 7 or 8 in PMC schools.
This is a two-year program for candidates with a science background who will commit to becoming teachers.
The Full-time fellows will receive training to not only enhance their pedagogical and content knowledge but also prepare for the CTET / TET exams that will make them eligible for applying to schools in the public sector. They will be required to get a B.Ed degree (which a partner B.Ed college will provide) at the end of their Fellowship. They will be paid a stipend of ₹10,000 per month and SEI will pay for their B.Ed course fee for two years.
Salary for candidates who already have a BEd or MEd = ₹10000 to ₹15000 per month depending on experience

Who can apply?

Anyone currently in the last/final year of BSc, MSc, BTech / BE, MTech / ME, BVoc, MPhil, Ph.D. or any other Science / Math degree.
Anyone in the last/final year of BEd or MEd can apply for the Full-time fellowship without the sponsored BEd.
Anyone who has graduated with a BSc, MSc, BTech / BE, MTech / ME, BVoc, BEd, MEd, MPhil, Ph.D. or any other Science / Math degree.
No language barrier; but applicants knowing or willing to learn Marathi will be preferred.

Time commitment:

The full-time fellowship is for two academic years (June 2018 to April 2020).
Full-time fellows are responsible for teaching science and math in 5 classrooms.

The Full-time fellows will be full-time employees of SEI. Apart from teaching, Full-time fellows will work with other SEI employees in content development, data analysis, and program management.

About the sponsored B.Ed course:

SEI will bear the full fees of the B.Ed course which will be granted from a partner-college.
Full-time fellows will be awarded the B.Ed degree after the successful completion of all the assignments, tests and exams required by the partner-college. The time commitment required for completion of assignments, preparing for tests, and other modalities for the B.Ed program is not included in SEI working hours.
The B.Ed degree will be awarded to the fellows only after successful completion of the two-year fellowship.

How to apply and what is the selection process?

To apply click on the FELLOWSHIP APPLICATIONS 2018-19 tab at the end of the page and fill out the online application form.

You will need a valid email ID and phone number to apply. Only one application can be made with one email ID and phone number. Duplicate applications will be rejected.
The last date to apply is 20th January 2018.

Stage 1: After the submission of a valid application, the applicants will be called for a written test (based on standard science and mathematics syllabi for grades 5 to 10 from NCERT and State Board). The dates of the content test will be communicated to applicants via email. The applicants must carry a valid ID proof (e.g. College/institute ID, Driving license, Aadhar card, PAN card, Voter’s ID). The applicants will be notified in detail about the written test by email and text message.

Stage 2: The candidates successful in the Written Test will be called for a Teaching Demonstration. The candidates should choose between one of the following topics and give a 5 to 7-minute demonstration of teaching that topic in a classroom.

Stage 3: The candidates qualifying for the Teaching Demonstration will be immediately called for an interview. The interview will be conducted by a panel of 2 to 4 interviewers and will test a candidate's scientific aptitude, leadership qualities, and motivation to lead change.

Stage 4: The candidates who qualify the interview then proceed to an in-classroom demo where they will teach in an SEI classroom for 15 to 20 minutes. The material to be taught will be provided to the selected candidates.

Candidates qualifying through all of the above stages of the recruitment process will be selected as an SEI Fellow Elect for the academic year 2018-19. This selection is provisional and will become final after a satisfactory performance during the SEI Summer Training program.
