Job description
Overview
Immediate opening: HOD Computer Science at Kakraban H.s. School in Gomati, Tripura. Open to both seasoned practitioners and early-career candidates with strong potential. School profile: Kakraban H.s. School in Gomati, Tripura — a senior secondary setup, established 1952, — a CBSE-affiliated school. Recognised for structured academic planning, regular parent engagement, and a deliberate culture of student mentorship. What the role looks like: the HOD Computer Science 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. What we offer:
- Competitive, on-time salary (₹8.8 LPA – ₹14.0 LPA).
- Defined working hours aligned with the school timetable.
- Investment in your growth — training, mentorship, peer learning.
- A respectful work environment focused on outcomes.
- Access to school resources, libraries, labs, and digital tools. Submit your application here so Kakraban H.s. School can shortlist you alongside the active pool. Strong profiles move to a brief teaching demo and a discussion with the academic head.
Common questions about this role
What's the interview process like for this teaching role?
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.
When are increments and bonuses given?
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.
What qualifications are required for a HOD Computer Science?
Most HOD Computer 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.
Which curriculum does the school follow?
Kakraban H.s. School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.
Do I have to work weekends?
Standard week is Monday to Saturday (often half-day Saturday). Occasional event Sundays exist (Annual Day, Sports Day, admissions test days) and are usually compensated with a comp-off.
Is this a remote / work-from-home opportunity?
School roles are on-site by default — classroom teaching and student supervision require physical presence. Online tutoring openings are tagged separately on School Jobs India.
How long does it take to hear back after applying?
Response times vary, but shortlisted candidates are typically contacted within a week. You'll get a notification on School Jobs India the moment the school updates your application status.

Interview questions & answers for HOD Computer Science
Common questions Indian schools ask for HOD Computer Science roles in Gomati (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. What is your vision for improving academic outcomes in a CBSE school?
Frame it as three horizons: 100-day audit of teaching quality + assessment data, one-year focus on 2-3 subject departments' pedagogy, three-year plan for co-curricular breadth and university outcomes. Anchor each in CBSE benchmarks.
2. How would you handle a difficult parent meeting?
Listen first, restate the concern, share data (assessment scores, work samples, incident notes), then propose two next steps with a follow-up date. Emphasise you'd loop in the coordinator/HOD for anything unresolved — schools want partnership, not solo heroics.
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 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.
5. 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.
6. Will I need to submit a sample lesson plan?
Assume yes — most CBSE schools ask for one alongside the demo. Structure it as: objective → prior knowledge check → input (10 min) → guided practice → independent task → plenary. Include differentiation notes and one assessment prompt.
