  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "Is there a probation period?",

    {
      "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?",
      "a": "Most schools review applications within 5–10 working days. 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": "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": "Can I negotiate the salary at Sarswati Education Centre?",
      "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification."

      "q": "What is the average HOD Commerce salary in Samastipur?",
      "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, HOD Commerce pay in Samastipur rises with years of experience, board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further."

      "q": "How big are the classes?",
