Confirm the route map and the last drop time during the interview." }, { "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?", "a": "Response times vary, but shortlisted candidates are typically contacted within a week. You'll get a notification on School Jobs India the moment the school updates your application status." }, { "q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?", "a": "Typical schools run a screening call → a demo class (15–30 minutes for the relevant grade) → a panel interview with the Principal/HOD. Some boards also ask for a written response or a sample lesson plan." }, { "q": "Where exactly is Mahabiri Saraswati Vidya Mandir located?", "a": "The school is in Siwan, Bihar. Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference." }, { "q": "What does a typical day look like?", "a": "School days usually run 7.5–8 hours with 5–6 teaching periods, plus prep, lunch and one or two non-teaching duties (homework checks, library, club).

Once shortlisted, the school will agree a realistic date based on your notice period." }, { "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." } ] }
