If you don't hear back in two weeks, the role has usually been filled or paused — keep applying to similar openings in the meantime." }, { "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": "Where exactly is Lewis English School located?", "a": "The school is in Darjeeling, West Bengal. Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference." }, { "q": "What is the average Football Coach salary in Darjeeling?", "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, Football Coach pay in Darjeeling rises with years of experience, board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further." }, { "q": "How do I write an application email for this Football Coach role?", "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"Football Coach — Lewis English School\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter." }, { "q": "How big are the classes?", "a": "Section sizes typically range from 25 to 40 students.

Be ready to walk through one of your lesson plans and how you handle classroom management." }, { "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." } ] }
