Common questions about this role
How much experience do I need for this HOD Computer Science role?
Refer to the experience range posted on this page. If you're close to the minimum, apply with a strong demo lesson plan or portfolio — many schools flex by ±1 year for the right candidate.

I'm serving notice — should I still apply?
Yes. Most schools accept candidates with up to 60 days of notice. Mention your last working day clearly in your application so the school can plan the joining accordingly.
What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?

How do I make a resume for a CBSE HOD Computer Science job?
