    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at St. Kuriakose Public School?",
      "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise (CBSE) and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification."
    },
    {
      "q": "Are detailed lesson plans expected?",
