The offer letter you receive will state the exact terms, including probation, notice period and confirmation criteria." }, { "q": "What does a typical day look like?", "a": "School days usually run 7.5–8 hours with 5–6 teaching periods, plus prep, lunch and one or two non-teaching duties (homework checks, library, club). Saturdays vary by school." }, { "q": "What questions are asked in a HOD Computer Science interview?", "a": "A full library of role-specific interview guides (PRT, TGT, PGT, subject-wise, coordinator, principal) with model answers is at /interview-questions." }, { "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": "Is background verification done before joining?", "a": "Standard pre-joining checks cover qualification documents, prior employment, and reference calls. Some larger groups also do criminal-record verification." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at The Earnest Academy?", "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": "What is the average HOD Computer Science salary in Coimbatore?", "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to HOD Computer Science roles in Coimbatore. 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": "How will I know if my application is being reviewed?", "a": "You'll get a status notification on School Jobs India (and by email) each time the school updates your application — Shortlisted, Interviewing, Offered or Not selected.
