Comfortable English communication for classroom delivery and parent meetings is expected." }, { "q": "Are meals provided at school?", "a": "Most schools offer a subsidised staff canteen or a daily mid-morning snack and lunch. Boarding schools typically include all meals for residential staff." }, { "q": "Do I have to work weekends?", "a": "Standard week is Monday to Saturday (often half-day Saturday). Occasional event Sundays exist (Annual Day, Sports Day, admissions test days) and are usually compensated with a comp-off." }, { "q": "What is the average HOD Languages salary in Siliguri?", "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, HOD Languages pay in Siliguri rises with years of experience, board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further." }, { "q": "What questions are asked in a HOD Languages interview?", "a": "A full library of role-specific interview guides (PRT, TGT, PGT, subject-wise, coordinator, principal) with model answers is at /interview-questions." }, { "q": "Do staff get fee concession for their children?", "a": "Many schools offer a tuition-fee concession for the children of full-time staff, subject to admission criteria and available seats.

Be ready to walk through one of your lesson plans and how you handle classroom management." }, { "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.
