Interview questions & answers for TGT English
Common questions Indian schools ask for TGT English roles in Chandigarh (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. 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.
2. 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".
3. 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.
4. 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).
5. 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.
6. How should I answer the salary expectation question?
Give a range, not a single number. Anchor on the typical TGT English band in Chandigarh (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.
