Interview questions & answers for PGT English
Common questions Indian schools ask for PGT English roles in Cuddalore (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. How well do I need to know the CBSE syllabus?
Panels will probe unit-level familiarity. Skim the current CBSE scheme of work for your subject and grade, memorise two chapter names you'd be strongest teaching, and be ready to walk through the assessment pattern (weightings, project component, exam duration).
2. 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.
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 English brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why CK School of Practical Knowledge in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
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 should I answer the salary expectation question?
Give a range, not a single number. Anchor on the typical PGT English band in Cuddalore (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.
6. 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".
