  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "Is the salary CTC or in-hand?",
      "a": "Most Indian schools quote annual CTC. In-hand is lower than CTC once employee PF (12% of basic, capped at ₹15,000 basic/month), professional tax and — where applicable — income tax under the new regime are deducted. Plug the offered CTC into the in-hand salary calculator at /tools/in-hand-salary-calculator for a line-by-line breakdown against this job."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is B.Ed mandatory for this role?",
      "a": "For most K-12 teaching positions a B.Ed (or NIOS D.El.Ed for primary) is preferred and often required by board affiliations; pre-primary and special-skill roles sometimes accept relevant certification in lieu. Detailed CTET/TET and eligibility rules are covered in the guide: /guides/ctet-tet-qualifications."
    },
    {
      "q": "What kind of professional development is offered?",
      "a": "Cambridge / IGCSE schools regularly fund official workshops (IB Category 1/2/3 or Cambridge PD) for full-time teachers. Internal weekly PD sessions are also common."
    },
    {
      "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": "What is the average Admissions Counsellor salary in Kolkata?",
      "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, Admissions Counsellor pay in Kolkata rises with years of experience, board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is English fluency required?",
      "a": "Yes — instruction is in English at most Cambridge / IGCSE schools. Comfortable English communication for classroom delivery and parent meetings is expected."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is there a probation period?",
      "a": "Most schools run a 3–6 month probation with the same salary as confirmation. Confirmation is typically subject to satisfactory performance reviews and document verification."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Bridge International School?",
      "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise (Cambridge / IGCSE) and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Bridge International School follows the Cambridge / IGCSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
    },
    {
      "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."
