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": "What qualifications are required for a HOD English?", "a": "Most HOD English roles require a relevant Bachelor's/Master's in the subject plus a B.Ed (or equivalent teacher-training qualification). Specific board requirements (CTET, IB workshops, IGCSE training) may also apply." }, { "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 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": "Will I get PF and statutory benefits?", "a": "Most registered schools enrol staff in EPF from day one and pay statutory gratuity. ESI cover applies if your gross is within the eligibility limit at joining." }, { "q": "What kind of professional development is offered?", "a": "Most schools run weekly/monthly in-house PD sessions on pedagogy and assessment. Funded external workshops (board-specific or subject-specific) are offered to teachers in good standing." }, { "q": "Where can I find similar vacancies?", "a": "Use the \"Similar jobs\" panel below, or set up a free job alert so new matching vacancies arrive in your inbox the moment they're posted." }, { "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": "Which curriculum does the school follow?", "a": "Chennai Public School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework." } ] }
