Benefits like PF and gratuity continue to accrue from day one regardless." }, { "q": "What is the average Admissions Counsellor salary in Mumbai?", "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to Admissions Counsellor roles in Mumbai. City tier and board affiliation move the number materially — IB and Cambridge schools sit at the top of the range, state-board private schools at the base." }, { "q": "Is accommodation provided?", "a": "Accommodation is not standard for day-school roles — confirm details with the Principal's office during the interview." }, { "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.

The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities." }, { "q": "How do I make a resume for a STATE BOARD Admissions Counsellor job?", "a": "Use the free school-style resume builder — role-anchored headline, B.Ed/CTET/PD block, and measurable outcomes per school (a one-page PDF is what shortlisters want): /resume-builder." }, { "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?", "a": "Schools usually shortlist within a week or two.
