Common questions about this role
Is accommodation provided?
Accommodation is not standard for day-school roles — confirm details with the Principal's office during the interview.
Is this a contract or permanent role?
This is listed as a full time role. The exact contract term and renewal terms are confirmed at offer stage.

Schools quote CTC by default. In-hand depends on PF (12% employee share), professional tax, and your tax slab — ask HR for a sample salary structure before accepting.
