Core responsibilities:

- Track record of leading improvement at section or school level.
- Hiring, coaching, performance management, and conflict resolution skills.

- Predictable, on-time monthly compensation (₹11.6 LPA – ₹28.3 LPA).
- Reasonable workload with planned holidays per the calendar.
- Real ownership of your subject/function from day one.
- A leadership team that listens, supports, and gives credit.
- A campus that respects educators as professionals. Send your CV through this listing — no separate email is required for Army Public School. The hiring lead reaches out personally to take qualifying candidates forward.

Interview questions & answers for Principal
Common questions Indian schools ask for Principal roles in Ahmedabad (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. How should I answer the salary expectation question?
Give a range, not a single number. Anchor on the typical Principal band in Ahmedabad (see the Salary snapshot on this page) plus a 10-15% premium for your experience. Say you're open to discussion once the role scope is confirmed.
2. What questions should I ask at the end?
Ask three: one about the team (department size, coordinator style), one about growth (PD budget, appraisal cadence), and one about the school (a specific programme). Avoid opening with leave/salary questions unless the panel invites them.
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. Why do you want to work at Army Public School?
Show you've done the homework: reference the CBSE curriculum, the Ahmedabad campus, and one specific programme or value from their website. Tie it to what you bring — pedagogy, subject expertise or a co-curricular strength.
5. Walk me through your discipline framework.
Start with school-wide expectations (positive, visible, consistent), a tiered response ladder, a documented referral path, and a restorative element. Close with how you engage parents proactively so escalations don't come as a surprise.
6. How do you use technology in the classroom?
Pick one or two tools you actually use (Google Classroom, Kahoot, Nearpod, a subject-specific simulator) and tie them to a learning outcome, not novelty. If Army Public School runs a specific LMS, mention you'd upskill on it in the first month.
