Interview questions & answers for PGT Psychology
Common questions Indian schools ask for PGT Psychology roles in Jalandhar (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. Why do you want to work at British Olivia School?
Show you've done the homework: reference the CBSE curriculum, the Jalandhar campus, and one specific programme or value from their website. Tie it to what you bring — pedagogy, subject expertise or a co-curricular strength.
2. 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.
3. Tell me about yourself — how should I frame my self-introduction?
Keep it 60-90 seconds: start with your name and current role, then two or three highlights that map to the PGT Psychology brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why British Olivia School in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
4. How should I discuss my notice period and joining date?
Be upfront and specific: last working day at current school, earliest realistic joining date, and any flexibility (early release, unpaid leave). Schools plan around academic calendars — a clear date wins over vague "as soon as possible".
5. 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 British Olivia School runs a specific LMS, mention you'd upskill on it in the first month.
6. How would you handle a difficult parent meeting?
Listen first, restate the concern, share data (assessment scores, work samples, incident notes), then propose two next steps with a follow-up date. Emphasise you'd loop in the coordinator/HOD for anything unresolved — schools want partnership, not solo heroics.
