Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference." }, { "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 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": "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": "Most schools review applications within 5–10 working days.

Detailed CTET/TET and eligibility rules are covered in the guide: /guides/ctet-tet-qualifications." }, { "q": "When does the school want the joining date to be?", "a": "Joining dates are usually negotiable around the school calendar. Mid-term joining is common for replacement vacancies; new positions often align to April or the start of the next term." }, { "q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?", "a": "Most schools have 2–3 rounds: an HR call, a demo lesson, then a leadership interview. Be ready to walk through one of your lesson plans and how you handle classroom management." } ] }
