Benefits like PF and gratuity continue to accrue from day one regardless." }, { "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?", "a": "Absolutely — schools regularly hire candidates on notice. Be upfront about your release date so interview scheduling and the offer timeline can be aligned." }, { "q": "Is B.Ed mandatory for this role?", "a": "For most K-12 teaching positions a B.Ed (or NIOS D.El.Ed for primary) is preferred and often required by board affiliations; pre-primary and special-skill roles sometimes accept relevant certification in lieu. Detailed CTET/TET and eligibility rules are covered in the guide: /guides/ctet-tet-qualifications." }, { "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?", "a": "This is a contract engagement — the offer letter will state the duration and renewal terms. Most school contracts run one academic year and are renewable subject to performance." }, { "q": "Is English fluency required?", "a": "Yes — instruction is in English at most CBSE schools. Comfortable English communication for classroom delivery and parent meetings is expected." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at The Orchid School?", "a": "Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities." }, { "q": "What is the average HOD Mathematics salary in Pune?", "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to HOD Mathematics roles in Pune.

If you don't hear back in 10 days, a quick polite follow-up via the \"Message employer\" button on this HOD Mathematics listing is usually welcome." } ] }
