Keep your last 2–3 employer references and original certificates ready." }, { "q": "When are increments and bonuses given?", "a": "Annual increments are usually announced in March/April, alongside the new academic year. Performance-linked bonuses vary by school — some pay a one-month festive bonus, others none." }, { "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?", "a": "Purushottam Bhagchandka Academic School follows the ICSE/ISC curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework." }, { "q": "Is English fluency required?", "a": "Yes — instruction is in English at most ICSE/ISC schools. Comfortable English communication for classroom delivery and parent meetings is expected." }, { "q": "Where exactly is Purushottam Bhagchandka Academic School located?", "a": "The school is in Kolkata, West Bengal.

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.

Turn on job alerts for the same role in the same city so you don't lose momentum if this one pauses." }, { "q": "Is school transport available for staff?", "a": "Staff transport varies. Larger schools with their own fleet usually allow staff onboarding on existing routes; smaller schools may not run dedicated routes." } ] }
