  "faq": [
    {
      "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": "Is the salary CTC or in-hand?",
      "a": "Most Indian schools quote annual CTC. In-hand is lower than CTC once employee PF (12% of basic, capped at ₹15,000 basic/month), professional tax and — where applicable — income tax under the new regime are deducted. Plug the offered CTC into the in-hand salary calculator at /tools/in-hand-salary-calculator for a line-by-line breakdown against this job."
    },
    {
      "q": "What qualifications are required for a HOD Science?",
      "a": "Most HOD Science 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 accommodation provided?",
      "a": "Accommodation is not standard for day-school roles — confirm details with the Principal's office during the interview."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this HOD Science role?",
      "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"HOD Science — Delhi Public School, Sector-C, Pocket-5, Vasant Kunj\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter."
    },
    {
      "q": "Where can I find similar vacancies?",
      "a": "Use the \"Similar jobs\" panel below, or set up a free job alert so new matching vacancies arrive in your inbox the moment they're posted."
    },
    {
      "q": "What kind of professional development is offered?",
      "a": "Most schools run weekly/monthly in-house PD sessions on pedagogy and assessment. Funded external workshops (board-specific or subject-specific) are offered to teachers in good standing."
    },
    {
      "q": "What is the average HOD Science salary in Delhi?",
      "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to HOD Science roles in Delhi. City tier and board affiliation move the number materially — IB and Cambridge schools sit at the top of the range, state-board private schools at the base."
    },
    {
      "q": "Are meals provided at school?",
      "a": "Subsidised tea/snacks are common; full meals depend on the school. Boarding schools usually provide meals as part of the package for resident staff."
    },
    {
      "q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?",
      "a": "Typical schools run a screening call → a demo class (15–30 minutes for the relevant grade) → a panel interview with the Principal/HOD. Some boards also ask for a written response or a sample lesson plan."
