Common questions about this role

Can I negotiate the salary at Aakarshan Public School?

Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities.

Is the salary CTC or in-hand?
