Detailed CTET/TET and eligibility rules are covered in the guide: /guides/ctet-tet-qualifications." }, { "q": "Are meals provided at school?", "a": "Subsidised tea/snacks are common; full meals depend on the school. Boarding schools usually provide meals as part of the package for resident staff." }, { "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": "How do I write an application email for this HOD Humanities role?", "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"HOD Humanities — Hindustan International School\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter." }, { "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?", "a": "Most reputable schools in Kanchipuram run staff transport (bus or shared cab) covering the main residential clusters, with women-first drop after evening duties.
