    {
      "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?",
      "a": "Staff transport with defined pickup points, a women-first evening drop policy, CCTV coverage in corridors and staff areas, and an active Internal Complaints Committee are the norm at most established Indian schools. Ask HR for the specific route serving your locality."
    },
    {
      "q": "When are increments and bonuses given?",
      "a": "Annual increments are usually announced in March/April, alongside the new academic year. Performance-linked bonuses vary by school — some pay a one-month festive bonus, others none."
    },
    {
      "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": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?",
      "a": "Yes. Most schools accept candidates with up to 60 days of notice. Mention your last working day clearly in your application so the school can plan the joining accordingly."
    },
    {
      "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": "Is English fluency required?",
      "a": "Yes — instruction is in English at most CBSE schools. Comfortable English communication for classroom delivery and parent meetings is expected."
    },
    {
      "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."
    },
    {
      "q": "What questions are asked in a HOD Science interview?",
      "a": "A full library of role-specific interview guides (PRT, TGT, PGT, subject-wise, coordinator, principal) with model answers is at /interview-questions."
    },
    {
      "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?",
      "a": "Typically 3–7 working days after the final interview, once reference checks and internal approvals are done. Verbal confirmations sometimes come sooner — always wait for the written offer before resigning your current role."
    },
    {
      "q": "How will I know if my application is being reviewed?",
      "a": "Every status change (viewed, shortlisted, interview scheduled, offered) is pushed to your dashboard and email. Turn on job alerts for the same role in the same city so you don't lose momentum if this one pauses."
