Interview questions & answers for PGT English
Common questions Indian schools ask for PGT English roles in Varanasi (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. What is your greatest strength and weakness as an educator?
Pick a strength tied to student outcomes with one metric or story. For weakness, name a real one, follow it with the concrete steps you're taking (workshop, mentor, changed practice) — panels reject rehearsed non-answers like "I work too hard".
2. Why do you want to work at A. J. J. Academy?
Show you've done the homework: reference the CBSE curriculum, the Varanasi campus, and one specific programme or value from their website. Tie it to what you bring — pedagogy, subject expertise or a co-curricular strength.
3. How do you handle classroom discipline?
Lead with prevention: clear routines, seating design, and engagement pacing. Follow with a de-escalation sequence (private redirect → restorative conversation → parent loop-in) and mention that you document incidents. Schools want a framework, not a "punish" answer.
4. How should I prepare for the demo lesson?
Plan a 20-25 minute segment aligned to the CBSE curriculum for the exact grade the school specifies. Include a clear objective, 2-3 questioning prompts, a short activity, and a closing check-for-understanding. Bring a printed lesson plan for the observer.
5. How do you differentiate for mixed-ability classrooms?
Give a concrete example — tiered worksheets, flexible groupings, scaffolded reading. Reference formative assessment (exit tickets, mini-whiteboards) as how you decide which students need what, and how you record progress against CBSE learning outcomes.
6. Will I need to submit a sample lesson plan?
Assume yes — most CBSE schools ask for one alongside the demo. Structure it as: objective → prior knowledge check → input (10 min) → guided practice → independent task → plenary. Include differentiation notes and one assessment prompt.
