Ask HR for the specific route serving your locality." }, { "q": "Is English fluency required?", "a": "Yes — instruction is in English at most CBSE schools. Comfortable English communication for classroom delivery and parent meetings is expected." }, { "q": "Is accommodation provided?", "a": "Boarding schools usually offer on-campus accommodation (free or subsidised), often with meals. This is confirmed in the offer letter along with any allied duties." }, { "q": "What is the average HOD English salary in Dagapur Siliguri?", "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band.

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.
