Specific board requirements (CTET, IB workshops, IGCSE training) may also apply." }, { "q": "When are increments and bonuses given?", "a": "Most schools run yearly increments tied to the academic calendar (April cycle). Bonus structure depends on the school — confirm in writing before accepting the offer." }, { "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?", "a": "Most schools issue a written offer within 3–7 working days of the final round. If you don't hear back in 10 days, a quick polite follow-up via the \"Message employer\" button on this HOD Science listing is usually welcome." }, { "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 is the leave policy?", "a": "Schools usually offer 10–18 leaves per year on top of public/school holidays.

Confirm the route map and the last drop time during the interview." }, { "q": "Is English fluency required?", "a": "Bilingual fluency (English + regional language) is typically expected at state-board schools, especially for lower grades. Senior-secondary subject roles lean more English-first." }, { "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?", "a": "Absolutely — schools regularly hire candidates on notice. Be upfront about your release date so interview scheduling and the offer timeline can be aligned." }, { "q": "What is the average HOD Science salary in Kangra?", "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to HOD Science roles in Kangra.
