"faq": [
{
"q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?",
"a": "Most schools have 2–3 rounds: an HR call, a demo lesson, then a leadership interview. Be ready to walk through one of your lesson plans and how you handle classroom management."
},
{
"q": "Is accommodation provided?",
"a": "Day schools generally don't provide accommodation. The school may help with referrals to nearby PGs or rentals during your relocation."
},
{
"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": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?",
"a": "Typically 3–7 working days after the final interview, once reference checks and internal approvals are done. Verbal confirmations sometimes come sooner — always wait for the written offer before resigning your current role."
},
{
"q": "What questions are asked in a Career Counsellor — Central Public School 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": "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": "Where exactly is Central Public School located?",
"a": "The school is in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference."
},
{
"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": "How big are the classes?",
"a": "Section sizes typically range from 25 to 40 students. The school will confirm exact section size during the interview based on the grade you'll teach."
},
{
"q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Central Public School?",
"a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise (CBSE) and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification."
