    {
      "q": "What qualifications are required for a HOD Science?",
      "a": "Most HOD 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."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is background verification done before joining?",

    },
    {
      "q": "Is the salary CTC or in-hand?",
      "a": "Most Indian schools quote annual CTC. In-hand is typically 85–90% of CTC after PF, professional tax and (where applicable) income tax — exact deductions are confirmed at offer stage."

      "q": "How do I write an application email for this HOD Science role?",
      "a": "Use a clear subject line with role and your name, open with which vacancy you're applying to, then a 4-5 line summary of qualifications, teaching experience and notice period. Close with availability for a demo lesson and interview. Attach a one-page PDF resume — long text bodies get skimmed."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is there a probation period?",
      "a": "Most schools run a 3–6 month probation with the same salary as confirmation. Confirmation is typically subject to satisfactory performance reviews and document verification."

      "q": "What questions are asked in a HOD Science interview?",
      "a": "Panels usually ask about your teaching philosophy, a demo lesson walkthrough, how you handle discipline and parents, and syllabus familiarity. See the \"Interview questions & answers\" section on this page for six of the most common ones and how to answer them."
    },
    {
      "q": "Do staff get fee concession for their children?",
      "a": "Most reputable schools have a staff-child fee concession policy. Eligibility, percentage and number of children covered vary — ask HR for the written policy."
    },
    {
      "q": "Where exactly is PM SHRI School Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya located?",
      "a": "The school is in Nainital, Uttarakhand. Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference."
