Set up a job alert for similar roles so you don't miss the next match if this one doesn't move forward." }, { "q": "What questions are asked in a Admissions Counsellor interview?", "a": "A full library of role-specific interview guides (PRT, TGT, PGT, subject-wise, coordinator, principal) with model answers is at /interview-questions." }, { "q": "Do staff get fee concession for their children?", "a": "Many schools offer a tuition-fee concession for the children of full-time staff, subject to admission criteria and available seats.
