    {
      "q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?",
      "a": "Most schools have 2–3 rounds: an HR call, a demo lesson, then a leadership interview. Be ready to walk through one of your lesson plans and how you handle classroom management."

      "q": "What is the average HOD Humanities salary in Kurukshetra?",
      "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, HOD Humanities pay in Kurukshetra varies with years of experience (each 3-year block adds roughly 15-25%), board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is this a remote / work-from-home opportunity?",

    },
    {
      "q": "Is background verification done before joining?",
      "a": "Yes — most schools run document and reference verification, and many use third-party background checks. Keep your last 2–3 employer references and original certificates ready."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Gita Niketan Awasiya Vidyalaya follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
    },

      "q": "Is there a probation period?",
