Common questions about this role
How do I make a resume for a CBSE Receptionist job?
A CBSE-focused resume works best when it starts with a role-anchored headline, highlights B.Ed/CTET/PD upfront, and lists measurable outcomes (result percentages, project launches, retention) under each school. Skip generic corporate objectives. The School Jobs India resume builder has a ready template you can fill in and download.
Is the salary CTC or in-hand?
Most Indian schools quote annual CTC. In-hand is typically 85–90% of CTC after PF, professional tax and (where applicable) income tax — exact deductions are confirmed at offer stage.
Which curriculum does the school follow?
Dhilwan International Public School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.
Is there a probation period?
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.
Is this a remote / work-from-home opportunity?
School roles are on-site by default — classroom teaching and student supervision require physical presence. Online tutoring openings are tagged separately on School Jobs India.
Do I have to work weekends?
Standard week is Monday to Saturday (often half-day Saturday). Occasional event Sundays exist (Annual Day, Sports Day, admissions test days) and are usually compensated with a comp-off.
Is school transport available for staff?
Staff transport varies. Larger schools with their own fleet usually allow staff onboarding on existing routes; smaller schools may not run dedicated routes.

Interview questions & answers for Receptionist
Common questions Indian schools ask for Receptionist roles in Kapurthala (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. What experience is most relevant to a Receptionist role at a school?
Lead with prior school or education-sector experience if you have it. If not, translate transferable skills (safeguarding awareness, working with minors, compliance, shift discipline) into school-specific scenarios — Dhilwan International Public School wants to picture you on day one.
2. Tell me about yourself — how should I frame my self-introduction?
Keep it 60-90 seconds: start with your name and current role, then two or three highlights that map to the Receptionist brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why Dhilwan International Public School in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
3. Why do you want to work at Dhilwan International Public School?
Show you've done the homework: reference the CBSE curriculum, the Kapurthala campus, and one specific programme or value from their website. Tie it to what you bring — pedagogy, subject expertise or a co-curricular strength.
4. How should I answer the salary expectation question?
Give a range, not a single number. Anchor on the typical Receptionist band in Kapurthala (see the Salary snapshot on this page) plus a 10-15% premium for your experience. Say you're open to discussion once the role scope is confirmed.
5. What is your greatest strength and weakness as an educator?
Pick a strength tied to student outcomes with one metric or story. For weakness, name a real one, follow it with the concrete steps you're taking (workshop, mentor, changed practice) — panels reject rehearsed non-answers like "I work too hard".
6. How should I discuss my notice period and joining date?
Be upfront and specific: last working day at current school, earliest realistic joining date, and any flexibility (early release, unpaid leave). Schools plan around academic calendars — a clear date wins over vague "as soon as possible".
