Common questions about this role
What qualifications are required for a HOD Humanities?

What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?
Staff transport with defined pickup points, a women-first evening drop policy, CCTV coverage in corridors and staff areas, and an active Internal Complaints Committee are the norm at most established Indian schools. Ask HR for the specific route serving your locality.
Is B.Ed mandatory for this role?

How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?
