Saturdays vary by school." }, { "q": "Is there a probation period?", "a": "Yes — a 3 to 6 month probation is standard in K-12 schools across India. Benefits like PF and gratuity continue to accrue from day one regardless." }, { "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?", "a": "Schools usually shortlist within a week or two. Set up a job alert for similar roles so you don't miss the next match if this one doesn't move forward." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at North Point Residential School?", "a": "Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities." }, { "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": "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": "Do I have to work weekends?", "a": "Most day schools follow a 6-day or 5.5-day week with Sundays off. Occasional Saturdays may go to events, parent meetings, or PD sessions." }, { "q": "How do I write an application email for this HOD Computer Science role?", "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"HOD Computer Science — North Point Residential School\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter." }, { "q": "What non-teaching duties are expected?", "a": "Beyond teaching periods you'll typically own a homeroom, run one club/activity, support exam logistics, and contribute to one school-wide initiative each term." }, { "q": "Is accommodation provided?", "a": "Accommodation is not standard for day-school roles — confirm details with the Principal's office during the interview." } ] }
