    },
    {
      "q": "Do I need CTET / STET to apply?",
      "a": "CTET/STET is preferred for most board-affiliated school teaching roles. state-board schools differ in how strictly this is enforced — apply even if you don't have it, and clear it in parallel."

    {
      "q": "What qualifications are required for a TGT Social Studies?",
      "a": "Most TGT Social Studies roles require a relevant Bachelor's/Master's in the subject plus a B.Ed (or equivalent teacher-training qualification). Specific board requirements (CTET, IB workshops, IGCSE training) may also apply."
