This question has been asked several times here so I will refer you to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_testin…
for the general questions above.

If you could find a real game testing job in India, I bet it would pay about $300/USD month.
I base that on what the game testing companies from India Charge US game developers for Testing.
There are probably crowd source groups that you are competing with that would test for free or almost free.

You will have to go to work in an office. There are no career stay at home game testers and the stay at home game tester is mostly a scam. You can find one once in a while but it is easier to win the lottery.

PowerUpGames.com offers Game Tester Training but it has a fee. The training was developed from Training game testers at GameINSTINCT.com a US based Professional Game Testing company.

You will only get to play a variety of games if you test for an Outsourcing company that tests games from all over the world. If you work for a specific publisher, you will test the titles they are creating.

To help you land the position become familiar with what game testing is, terminology, etc and build out a good cover letter and resume and maybe of activities that you do in gaming built into a portfolio.

Get some good experience and be able to talk about what you did in with the knowledge and terminology you have learned about Game Testing.

Become familiar with the basics of game testing so after you land a position, you can keep it.
(there are some companies that will hire 10 game testers knowing that after 2-3 days, they will know the best of the group and will lay off the rest. It is cheaper than doing a deep interview process)

If you want help completing the above steps, please investigate our Training at PowerUpGames.com

Good Luck.
