Ask HR for the specific route serving your locality." }, { "q": "Is English fluency required?", "a": "Bilingual fluency (English + regional language) is typically expected at state-board schools, especially for lower grades. Senior-secondary subject roles lean more English-first." }, { "q": "Is there a probation period?", "a": "Most schools run a 3–6 month probation with the same salary as confirmation. Confirmation is typically subject to satisfactory performance reviews and document verification." }, { "q": "How do I write an application email for this HOD English role?", "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"HOD English — Khalsa Senior Secondary School\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter." }, { "q": "Is school transport available for staff?", "a": "Staff transport varies. Larger schools with their own fleet usually allow staff onboarding on existing routes; smaller schools may not run dedicated routes." }, { "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?", "a": "Schools usually shortlist within a week or two.

Specifics are spelled out in the offer letter." } ] }
