Some larger groups also do criminal-record verification." }, { "q": "What qualifications are required for a Football Coach?", "a": "Most Football Coach roles require a relevant Bachelor's/Master's in the subject plus a B.Ed (or equivalent teacher-training qualification). Specific board requirements (CTET, IB workshops, IGCSE training) may also apply." }, { "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?", "a": "Vellore International School follows the ICSE/ISC curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework." }, { "q": "What is the salary for this Football Coach role?", "a": "The salary band is shown in the \"Key facts\" panel above.

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.
