Turn on job alerts for the same role in the same city so you don't lose momentum if this one pauses." }, { "q": "What is the leave policy?", "a": "Teaching staff typically get all school holidays plus 8–15 casual/sick leaves per academic year. Long vacations (summer, winter, Diwali, Holi breaks) follow the published school calendar." }, { "q": "Is background verification done before joining?", "a": "Yes — most schools run document and reference verification, and many use third-party background checks. Keep your last 2–3 employer references and original certificates ready." }, { "q": "What is the average Driver salary in Chennai?", "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, Driver pay in Chennai rises with years of experience, board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further." }, { "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": "What's the interview process like for this role?", "a": "Hiring usually takes 2–3 rounds: an initial call, a hands-on assessment, then a final round.

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." }, { "q": "What does a driver's day look like?", "a": "Morning pickup runs from ~6:30 AM to school start, then afternoon drop after school dispersal. Mid-day involves vehicle parking, refuelling and pre-trip checks." }, { "q": "When does the school want the joining date to be?", "a": "Joining dates are usually negotiable around the school calendar. Mid-term joining is common for replacement vacancies; new positions often align to April or the start of the next term." } ] }
