Detailed CTET/TET and eligibility rules are covered in the guide: /guides/ctet-tet-qualifications." }, { "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?", "a": "Yes. Most schools accept candidates with up to 60 days of notice.

Long vacations (summer, winter, Diwali, Holi breaks) follow the published school calendar." }, { "q": "Is background verification done before joining?", "a": "Yes — most schools run document and reference verification, and many use third-party background checks.

The appointment letter or the school's written HR policy is the authoritative source — confirm what applies before treating it as compensation." } ] }
