The appointment letter or the school's written HR policy is the authoritative source — confirm what applies before treating it as compensation." }, { "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?", "a": "The employment type is shown in the Key Facts section above. Fixed-term roles usually align to the academic year; permanent roles are open-ended after probation. The final letter will spell out renewal and exit terms." }, { "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?", "a": "Yes. Most schools accept candidates with up to 60 days of notice. Mention your last working day clearly in your application so the school can plan the joining accordingly." }, { "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": "How will I know if my application is being reviewed?", "a": "Every status change (viewed, shortlisted, interview scheduled, offered) is pushed to your dashboard and email. Turn on job alerts for the same role in the same city so you don't lose momentum if this one pauses." }, { "q": "What does a typical day look like?", "a": "Most teachers handle 4–6 instructional periods a day, with the rest going to lesson planning, assessment correction, and a co-curricular duty." }, { "q": "Is English fluency required?", "a": "Bilingual fluency (English + regional language) is typically expected at state-board schools, especially for lower grades. Senior-secondary subject roles lean more English-first." }, { "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": "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": "Where can I find similar vacancies?", "a": "Scroll to the \"Similar jobs\" section below to see related openings.
