Common questions about this role
Is school transport available for staff?
Staff transport varies. Larger schools with their own fleet usually allow staff onboarding on existing routes; smaller schools may not run dedicated routes.
Is there a probation period?
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.
When does the school want the joining date to be?
Joining dates are usually negotiable around the school calendar. Mid-term joining is common for replacement vacancies; new positions often align to April or the start of the next term.
Is this a remote / work-from-home opportunity?
School roles are on-site by default — classroom teaching and student supervision require physical presence. Online tutoring openings are tagged separately on School Jobs India.
Are meals provided at school?
Most schools offer a subsidised staff canteen or a daily mid-morning snack and lunch. Boarding schools typically include all meals for residential staff.
Is the salary CTC or in-hand?
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.
Is background verification done before joining?
Yes — most schools run document and reference verification, and many use third-party background checks. Keep your last 2–3 employer references and original certificates ready.

Interview questions & answers for PGT History
Common questions Indian schools ask for PGT History roles in Ambala (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. Why do you want to work at Shemford School?
Show you've done the homework: reference the CBSE curriculum, the Ambala 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. 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 History brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why Shemford School in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
3. How do you handle classroom discipline?
Lead with prevention: clear routines, seating design, and engagement pacing. Follow with a de-escalation sequence (private redirect → restorative conversation → parent loop-in) and mention that you document incidents. Schools want a framework, not a "punish" answer.
4. 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).
5. Why did you choose teaching as a career?
Anchor it in a specific moment — a mentor, a classroom win, or an impact story on a student. Panels want authenticity plus a link to the future ("that's why I want to work with Grade X at your school"), not a scripted "I love kids" answer.
6. 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 Shemford School runs a specific LMS, mention you'd upskill on it in the first month.
