Detailed CTET/TET and eligibility rules are covered in the guide: /guides/ctet-tet-qualifications." }, { "q": "Are detailed lesson plans expected?", "a": "Schools generally require lesson plans aligned to the syllabus and pacing calendar. Coordinators review them weekly or fortnightly." }, { "q": "How big are the classes?", "a": "Section sizes typically range from 25 to 40 students. The school will confirm exact section size during the interview based on the grade you'll teach." }, { "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": "Are meals provided at school?", "a": "Most schools offer a subsidised staff canteen or a daily mid-morning snack and lunch.

Confirmation is typically subject to satisfactory performance reviews and document verification." }, { "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": "Is English fluency required?", "a": "Yes — instruction is in English at most ICSE/ISC schools.
