Common questions about this role

Which curriculum does the school follow?
Gurukul High School follows the state-board curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.
Is the salary CTC or in-hand?

What does a typical day look like?
Most teachers handle 4–6 instructional periods a day, with the rest going to lesson planning, assessment correction, and a co-curricular duty.
Is school transport available for staff?
