      "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": "Where exactly is Delhi Public School located?",
      "a": "The school is in Dimapur, Nagaland. Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference."

    },
    {
      "q": "What does a typical day look like?",
