      "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?",
      "a": "Yes. Most schools accept candidates with up to 60 days of notice. Mention your last working day clearly in your application so the school can plan the joining accordingly."

      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Mahendra Public School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
