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. You can also browse by city (Madurai), role and board on School Jobs India to compare options side by side." }, { "q": "Is accommodation provided?", "a": "Day schools generally don't provide accommodation.

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.

Confirmation is typically subject to satisfactory performance reviews and document verification." }, { "q": "What kind of professional development is offered?", "a": "Most schools run weekly/monthly in-house PD sessions on pedagogy and assessment.
