Be upfront about your release date so interview scheduling and the offer timeline can be aligned." }, { "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?", "a": "The Bishop's School follows the ICSE/ISC curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework." }, { "q": "What is the average HOD English salary in Pune?", "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to HOD English roles in Pune. City tier and board affiliation move the number materially — IB and Cambridge schools sit at the top of the range, state-board private schools at the base." }, { "q": "Is there a probation period?", "a": "Yes — a 3 to 6 month probation is standard in K-12 schools across India.

The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities." }, { "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).

ESI cover applies if your gross is within the eligibility limit at joining." } ] }
