Bonus structure depends on the school — confirm in writing before accepting the offer." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Gurukul School?", "a": "Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it.

City tier and board affiliation move the number materially — IB and Cambridge schools sit at the top of the range, state-board private schools at the base." }, { "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": "Is there a probation period?", "a": "Yes — a 3 to 6 month probation is standard in K-12 schools across India.
