Job description
Overview
Immediate opening: HOD Commerce at Jain Public School in Raipur, Chattisgarh. Open to both seasoned practitioners and early-career candidates with strong potential. Jain Public School in Raipur, Chattisgarh operates as a senior secondary school, established 1993, — a CBSE-affiliated school. A settled, professional environment with clear academic systems, structured staff meetings, and steady infrastructure investment. What the role looks like: the HOD Commerce owns outcomes for the assigned section/portfolio — academic quality, faculty development, parent engagement, and student wellbeing — and contributes to the school's strategic plans. Day to day, you will:
- Run faculty meetings, academic reviews, and section-level planning.
- Observe classes, give actionable feedback, follow up on teacher development.
- Approve calendars, assessment papers, and major parent communication.
- Engage with leadership on hiring, budgets, and infrastructure needs.
- Spend time on the floor — corridors, classrooms, labs — to read the school accurately. Ideal candidate — you have:
- 8+ years in school education with leadership exposure.
- Direct experience running a section, department, or full school.
- A point of view on good teaching, good assessments, and good schools.
- Patience to coach and firmness to enforce standards.
- Strong personal organisation across multiple workstreams. Why join us:
- Predictable, on-time monthly compensation (₹11.1 LPA – ₹22.2 LPA).
- Reasonable workload with planned holidays per the calendar.
- Real ownership of your subject/function from day one.
- A leadership team that listens, supports, and gives credit.
- A campus that respects educators as professionals. Submit your application online from this page to be considered by Jain Public School. Interview slots are scheduled after profile review, typically inside five to seven working days.

Interview questions & answers for HOD Commerce
Common questions Indian schools ask for HOD Commerce roles in Raipur (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. What questions should I ask at the end?
Ask three: one about the team (department size, coordinator style), one about growth (PD budget, appraisal cadence), and one about the school (a specific programme). Avoid opening with leave/salary questions unless the panel invites them.
2. How do you differentiate for mixed-ability classrooms?
Give a concrete example — tiered worksheets, flexible groupings, scaffolded reading. Reference formative assessment (exit tickets, mini-whiteboards) as how you decide which students need what, and how you record progress against CBSE learning outcomes.
3. How do you develop and mentor teachers on your team?
Describe a structured cycle: goal-setting → learning walks → post-observation coaching → one PD focus per term. Mention how you'd differentiate between an early-career teacher and a mid-career specialist — leaders are hired on their systems, not their opinions.
4. How should I discuss my notice period and joining date?
Be upfront and specific: last working day at current school, earliest realistic joining date, and any flexibility (early release, unpaid leave). Schools plan around academic calendars — a clear date wins over vague "as soon as possible".
5. How should I prepare for the demo lesson?
Plan a 20-25 minute segment aligned to the CBSE curriculum for the exact grade the school specifies. Include a clear objective, 2-3 questioning prompts, a short activity, and a closing check-for-understanding. Bring a printed lesson plan for the observer.
6. Why do you want to work at Jain Public School?
Show you've done the homework: reference the CBSE curriculum, the Raipur campus, and one specific programme or value from their website. Tie it to what you bring — pedagogy, subject expertise or a co-curricular strength.
