  "aboutTheRole": "We're hiring a PGT to take Grades XI–XII through a full board cycle — strong subject command, clear exam strategy and patient one-on-one mentoring.",
  "dayToDay": [
    "Support parent counselling sessions during the board year.",
    "Coordinate practicals/projects with the lab assistant where applicable.",
    "Guide students on competitive-exam strategy where relevant to the subject.",
    "Run doubt-clearing sessions and one-on-one mentoring for board years.",
    "Set, moderate and grade pre-board and board-aligned question papers."

      "id": "responsibilities",
      "heading": "What you'll handle as a PGT Political Science",
      "body": "Teach senior-secondary classes (XI–XII), prepare students for board exams, set and moderate question papers, and mentor career-stage students."
    }
  ],
  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?",
      "a": "Staff transport with defined pickup points, a women-first evening drop policy, CCTV coverage in corridors and staff areas, and an active Internal Complaints Committee are the norm at most established Indian schools. Ask HR for the specific route serving your locality."
    },
    {
      "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?",
      "a": "Yes. Most schools accept candidates with up to 60 days of notice. Mention your last working day clearly in your application so the school can plan the joining accordingly."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is B.Ed mandatory for this role?",
      "a": "For most K-12 teaching positions a B.Ed (or NIOS D.El.Ed for primary) is preferred and often required by board affiliations; pre-primary and special-skill roles sometimes accept relevant certification in lieu. Detailed CTET/TET and eligibility rules are covered in the guide: /guides/ctet-tet-qualifications."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this PGT Political Science role?",
      "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"PGT Political Science — Shakargarh D.a.v. Sen. Sec. School Gurdaspur\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is school transport available for staff?",
      "a": "Staff transport varies. Larger schools with their own fleet usually allow staff onboarding on existing routes; smaller schools may not run dedicated routes."
    },
    {
      "q": "Are meals provided at school?",
      "a": "Most schools offer a subsidised staff canteen or a daily mid-morning snack and lunch. Boarding schools typically include all meals for residential staff."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?",
      "a": "The employment type is shown in the Key Facts section above. Fixed-term roles usually align to the academic year; permanent roles are open-ended after probation. The final letter will spell out renewal and exit terms."
    },
    {
      "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?",
      "a": "Typically 3–7 working days after the final interview, once reference checks and internal approvals are done. Verbal confirmations sometimes come sooner — always wait for the written offer before resigning your current role."
    },
    {
      "q": "What does a typical day look like?",
      "a": "Most teachers handle 4–6 instructional periods a day, with the rest going to lesson planning, assessment correction, and a co-curricular duty."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is the salary CTC or in-hand?",
      "a": "Most Indian schools quote annual CTC. In-hand is lower than CTC once employee PF (12% of basic, capped at ₹15,000 basic/month), professional tax and — where applicable — income tax under the new regime are deducted. Plug the offered CTC into the in-hand salary calculator at /tools/in-hand-salary-calculator for a line-by-line breakdown against this job."
