ESI cover applies if your gross is within the eligibility limit at joining." }, { "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": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?", "a": "Most reputable schools in Ernakulam run staff transport (bus or shared cab) covering the main residential clusters, with women-first drop after evening duties. On-campus, ICC (Internal Complaints Committee) compliance is standard. Confirm the route map and the last drop time during the interview." }, { "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 big are the classes?", "a": "Class sizes in Indian K-12 schools usually fall in the 25–40 student range. Premium IB/IGCSE schools often cap sections at 22–25." }, { "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 B.Ed mandatory for this role?", "a": "For most K-12 teaching positions a B.Ed (or NIOS D.El.Ed for primary) is preferred and often required by board affiliations; pre-primary and special-skill roles sometimes accept relevant certification in lieu. Detailed CTET/TET and eligibility rules are covered in the guide: /guides/ctet-tet-qualifications." }, { "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?", "a": "Vidyodaya School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework." }, { "q": "Are meals provided at school?", "a": "Subsidised tea/snacks are common; full meals depend on the school. Boarding schools usually provide meals as part of the package for resident staff." }, { "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." } ] }
