  "question": "What is NVS teacher recruitment and how does it differ from KVS?",
  "short_answer": "NVS (Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti) runs Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas — residential CBSE schools for rural talented students, one per district. NVS recruitment is separate from KVS: candidates need CTET, subject qualifications, and must be willing to work in a residential setting. Pay scales are similar to KVS but come with free residential accommodation.",
  "answer_md": "NVS is a fully residential system serving rural gifted students.\n\n## Structure\n\n- 661+ Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas across India.\n- Classes 6–12, English/Hindi mixed medium (regional language up to Class 8).\n- Fully residential — teachers live on campus with families.\n\n## Eligibility (same NCTE norms as KVS)\n\n- PGT: Master's + B.Ed + CTET (where required).\n- TGT: Graduation in subject + B.Ed + CTET Paper II.\n- Miscellaneous Category: PET, Music Teacher, Art Teacher, Librarian.\n\n## Key differences from KVS\n\n- **Residential requirement:** You must live on campus. Family accommodation is provided but limited.\n- **Rural posting:** Postings are in tehsils/blocks, not big cities.\n- **Working hours:** Longer — hostel supervision duties on rotation.\n- **Perks:** Free accommodation, subsidised food, close-knit community.\n\n## Pay\n\nSame as KVS — 7th CPC pay bands, ~₹47,600 basic for TGT and ₹56,100 for PGT, plus DA/HRA equivalents and residential allowance.",
