Interview questions & answers for PGT Political Science
Common questions Indian schools ask for PGT Political Science roles in Darjeeling (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. 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.
2. How do you handle classroom discipline?
Lead with prevention: clear routines, seating design, and engagement pacing. Follow with a de-escalation sequence (private redirect → restorative conversation → parent loop-in) and mention that you document incidents. Schools want a framework, not a "punish" answer.
3. Tell me about yourself — how should I frame my self-introduction?
Keep it 60-90 seconds: start with your name and current role, then two or three highlights that map to the PGT Political Science brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why Modi Public School, Siliguri in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
4. Why did you choose teaching as a career?
Anchor it in a specific moment — a mentor, a classroom win, or an impact story on a student. Panels want authenticity plus a link to the future ("that's why I want to work with Grade X at your school"), not a scripted "I love kids" answer.
5. How do you use technology in the classroom?
Pick one or two tools you actually use (Google Classroom, Kahoot, Nearpod, a subject-specific simulator) and tie them to a learning outcome, not novelty. If Modi Public School, Siliguri runs a specific LMS, mention you'd upskill on it in the first month.
6. How should I answer the salary expectation question?
Give a range, not a single number. Anchor on the typical PGT Political Science band in Darjeeling (see the Salary snapshot on this page) plus a 10-15% premium for your experience. Say you're open to discussion once the role scope is confirmed.
