Specifics are spelled out in the offer letter." }, { "q": "When are increments and bonuses given?", "a": "Annual increments are usually announced in March/April, alongside the new academic year. Performance-linked bonuses vary by school — some pay a one-month festive bonus, others none." }, { "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?", "a": "Achariya Siksha Mandir follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework." }, { "q": "When does the school want the joining date to be?", "a": "Joining dates are usually negotiable around the school calendar.

Larger schools with their own fleet usually allow staff onboarding on existing routes; smaller schools may not run dedicated routes." }, { "q": "What is the average HOD English salary in Chennai?", "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band.
