Some boards also ask for a written response or a sample lesson plan." }, { "q": "How big are the classes?", "a": "Class sizes in Indian K-12 schools usually fall in the 25–40 student range. Premium IB/IGCSE schools often cap sections at 22–25." }, { "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?", "a": "Absolutely — schools regularly hire candidates on notice. Be upfront about your release date so interview scheduling and the offer timeline can be aligned." }, { "q": "Do staff get fee concession for their children?", "a": "Many schools offer a tuition-fee concession for the children of full-time staff, subject to admission criteria and available seats. The appointment letter or the school's written HR policy is the authoritative source — confirm what applies before treating it as compensation." }, { "q": "What is the salary for this HOD Commerce role?", "a": "The salary band is shown in the \"Key facts\" panel above.

Bonus structure depends on the school — confirm in writing before accepting the offer." }, { "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": "How do I write an application email for this HOD Commerce role?", "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"HOD Commerce — Kaza Public School\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Kaza Public School?", "a": "Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it.
