Interview questions & answers for PGT English
Common questions Indian schools ask for PGT English roles in Chandigarh (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 Sri Guru Harkrishan Model School in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
5. How would you handle a difficult parent meeting?
Listen first, restate the concern, share data (assessment scores, work samples, incident notes), then propose two next steps with a follow-up date. Emphasise you'd loop in the coordinator/HOD for anything unresolved — schools want partnership, not solo heroics.
6. What is your greatest strength and weakness as an educator?
Pick a strength tied to student outcomes with one metric or story. For weakness, name a real one, follow it with the concrete steps you're taking (workshop, mentor, changed practice) — panels reject rehearsed non-answers like "I work too hard".
