    {
      "q": "What is the leave policy?",
      "a": "Teaching staff typically get all school holidays plus 8–15 casual/sick leaves per academic year. Long vacations (summer, winter, Diwali, Holi breaks) follow the published school calendar."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this TGT Social Studies role?",
      "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"TGT Social Studies — Vaishno Devi Academy\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter."

    {
      "q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?",
      "a": "Most schools have 2–3 rounds: an HR call, a demo lesson, then a leadership interview. Be ready to walk through one of your lesson plans and how you handle classroom management."
    },
    {
      "q": "Will I get PF and statutory benefits?",
      "a": "Yes — established schools provide EPF (Provident Fund) and gratuity (after 5 years), and most also provide ESI for staff under the wage threshold. Specifics are spelled out in the offer letter."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is school transport available for staff?",

    },
    {
      "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": "How do I make a resume for a STATE BOARD TGT Social Studies job?",

    },
    {
      "q": "Is background verification done before joining?",
      "a": "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."
    },
    {
      "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?",
      "a": "Schools usually shortlist within a week or two. Set up a job alert for similar roles so you don't miss the next match if this one doesn't move forward."
