      "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?",
      "a": "Most reputable schools in Ranchi 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 background verification done before joining?",
