Interview questions & answers for PGT Economics
Common questions Indian schools ask for PGT Economics roles in Chennai (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. 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 Economics brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why Olive Public School in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
2. 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.
3. Why do you want to work at Olive Public School?
Show you've done the homework: reference the CBSE curriculum, the Chennai campus, and one specific programme or value from their website. Tie it to what you bring — pedagogy, subject expertise or a co-curricular strength.
4. 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 Olive Public School runs a specific LMS, mention you'd upskill on it in the first month.
5. 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.
6. What is your greatest strength and weakness as an educator?
Pick a strength tied to student outcomes with one metric or story. For weakness, name a real one, follow it with the concrete steps you're taking (workshop, mentor, changed practice) — panels reject rehearsed non-answers like "I work too hard".
