1. Why do you want to work at Gurukul- The Real English Medium School?
Show you've done the homework: reference the CBSE curriculum, the Barwani campus, and one specific programme or value from their website. Tie it to what you bring — pedagogy, subject expertise or a co-curricular strength.

Keep it 60-90 seconds: start with your name and current role, then two or three highlights that map to the Receptionist brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why Gurukul- The Real English Medium School in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
