Some larger groups also do criminal-record verification." }, { "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?", "a": "Most reputable schools in Darbhanga run staff transport (bus or shared cab) covering the main residential clusters, with women-first drop after evening duties. On-campus, ICC (Internal Complaints Committee) compliance is standard. Confirm the route map and the last drop time during the interview." }, { "q": "Is English fluency required?", "a": "Yes — instruction is in English at most CBSE schools.
