Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference." }, { "q": "Is B.Ed mandatory for this role?", "a": "For most K-12 teaching positions a B.Ed (or NIOS D.El.Ed for primary) is preferred and often required by board affiliations; pre-primary and special-skill roles sometimes accept relevant certification in lieu. Detailed CTET/TET and eligibility rules are covered in the guide: /guides/ctet-tet-qualifications." }, { "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": "What is the leave policy?", "a": "Schools usually offer 10–18 leaves per year on top of public/school holidays. Earned-leave encashment policies vary — check the offer letter." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Pragati Vidya Mandir P.S.?", "a": "Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it.

Some boards also ask for a written response or a sample lesson plan." }, { "q": "Is English fluency required?", "a": "Bilingual fluency (English + regional language) is typically expected at state-board schools, especially for lower grades.
