  • A long-term thinker who can also execute well in the short term. Benefits and culture:
  • Salary in line with experience and market norms (₹12.0 LPA – ₹15.6 LPA).
  • Structured calendar with reasonable workload expectations.
  • Professional development through workshops and internal training.

I'm serving notice — should I still apply?

What qualifications are required for a HOD Science?

How do I make a resume for a CBSE HOD Science job?

A CBSE-focused resume works best when it starts with a role-anchored headline, highlights B.Ed/CTET/PD upfront, and lists measurable outcomes (result percentages, project launches, retention) under each school. Skip generic corporate objectives. The School Jobs India resume builder has a ready template you can fill in and download.

What's the interview process like for this teaching role?

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.
