    {
      "q": "How much experience do I need for this HOD Mathematics role?",
      "a": "The required experience is shown in the \"Key facts\" panel above. Schools also consider relevant internships, board-prep training and student-teaching when evaluating early-career candidates."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this HOD Mathematics role?",
      "a": "Keep it three short paragraphs: (1) subject line \"HOD Mathematics application — Mar Dionysius School\"; (2) one paragraph on your qualifications and current role; (3) one paragraph on why Mar Dionysius School and your earliest joining date. Attach a PDF resume and any teaching-credentials scans."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Mar Dionysius School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
    },
    {
      "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."
    },
    {
      "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?",
      "a": "Most reputable schools in Pathanamthitta 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 the salary CTC or in-hand?",
      "a": "Schools quote CTC by default. In-hand depends on PF (12% employee share), professional tax, and your tax slab — ask HR for a sample salary structure before accepting."
    },
    {
      "q": "Are detailed lesson plans expected?",
      "a": "Most schools expect weekly lesson plans submitted to the coordinator/HOD, plus unit plans at the start of each term. Templates are usually provided."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is there a probation period?",
      "a": "Yes — a 3 to 6 month probation is standard in K-12 schools across India. Benefits like PF and gratuity continue to accrue from day one regardless."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does Mar Dionysius School help with relocation from another city?",
      "a": "Relocation support varies by school. Residential campuses often include free accommodation and meals; day schools may offer a one-time shifting allowance or help with local rental scouting. Confirm the specifics in writing before you accept."
    },
    {
      "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."
