Interview questions & answers for PGT English
Common questions Indian schools ask for PGT English roles in Vijayapura (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. Why do you want to work at Sainik School?
Show you've done the homework: reference the CBSE curriculum, the Vijayapura campus, and one specific programme or value from their website. Tie it to what you bring — pedagogy, subject expertise or a co-curricular strength.
2. How well do I need to know the CBSE syllabus?
Panels will probe unit-level familiarity. Skim the current CBSE scheme of work for your subject and grade, memorise two chapter names you'd be strongest teaching, and be ready to walk through the assessment pattern (weightings, project component, exam duration).
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 English brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why Sainik School in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
4. How should I answer the salary expectation question?
Give a range, not a single number. Anchor on the typical PGT English band in Vijayapura (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.
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. 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.
