Occasional event Sundays exist (Annual Day, Sports Day, admissions test days) and are usually compensated with a comp-off." }, { "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 long after the interview until I get an offer letter?", "a": "Typically 3–7 working days after the final interview, once reference checks and internal approvals are done. Verbal confirmations sometimes come sooner — always wait for the written offer before resigning your current role." }, { "q": "Where exactly is National Prog. School Lakhora located?", "a": "The school is in Gurdaspur, Punjab. Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference." }, { "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?", "a": "Staff transport with defined pickup points, a women-first evening drop policy, CCTV coverage in corridors and staff areas, and an active Internal Complaints Committee are the norm at most established Indian schools. Ask HR for the specific route serving your locality." }, { "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": "Which curriculum does the school follow?", "a": "National Prog. School Lakhora follows the state-board curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework." }, { "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": "Can I negotiate the salary at National Prog. School Lakhora?", "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise (state-board) and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification." }, { "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?", "a": "Yes. Most schools accept candidates with up to 60 days of notice. Mention your last working day clearly in your application so the school can plan the joining accordingly." } ] }
