Interview questions & answers for PGT Political Science
Common questions Indian schools ask for PGT Political Science roles in Pathankot (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. How should I answer the salary expectation question?
Give a range, not a single number. Anchor on the typical PGT Political Science band in Pathankot (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.
2. How do you differentiate for mixed-ability classrooms?
Give a concrete example — tiered worksheets, flexible groupings, scaffolded reading. Reference formative assessment (exit tickets, mini-whiteboards) as how you decide which students need what, and how you record progress against CBSE learning outcomes.
3. 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 St. Thomas High School runs a specific LMS, mention you'd upskill on it in the first month.
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 Political Science brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why St. Thomas High School in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
5. What questions should I ask at the end?
Ask three: one about the team (department size, coordinator style), one about growth (PD budget, appraisal cadence), and one about the school (a specific programme). Avoid opening with leave/salary questions unless the panel invites them.
6. 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.
