Yes! You are eligible to pursue a career as a teacher if you have completed an M.Phil degree. However, you should also consider 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.
Best of luck!

Hello,
IGNOU no longer offers an MPhil degree or specialization, as it has been declared invalid by the UGC in 2020. Master's graduates are now eligible to directly pursue a PhD after they complete their postgraduate degree. Students who wish to continue their education after their PG but are reluctant about a PhD programme can also go for PG Diploma courses, as they are generally shorter and offer specializations.
Hope this answers your doubt.

The MPhil degree is comparatively tough. It is a challenging, transitional degree that allows students to conduct research under the supervision of their professors and hone skills that will help them conduct independent research. Since students are required to conduct research, write a thesis, and present their research, it becomes a particularly hard course and requires sincerity, interest, and critical and logical thinking. Students also learn how to compose their arguments in a well-structured manner.
