      "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?",

    {
      "q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?",
      "a": "Typical schools run a screening call → a demo class (15–30 minutes for the relevant grade) → a panel interview with the Principal/HOD. Some boards also ask for a written response or a sample lesson plan."
    },
    {
      "q": "What qualifications are required for a HOD English?",
      "a": "Most HOD English roles require a relevant Bachelor's/Master's in the subject plus a B.Ed (or equivalent teacher-training qualification). Specific board requirements (CTET, IB workshops, IGCSE training) may also apply."

      "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?",

      "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?",
      "a": "Most reputable schools in Sundargarh run staff transport (bus or shared cab) covering the main residential clusters, with women-first drop after evening duties.
