  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this HOD Science role?",
      "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"HOD Science — St. Marys Covent School\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter."
    },
    {
      "q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?",
      "a": "Typical schools run a screening call → a demo class (15–30 minutes for the relevant grade) → a panel interview with the Principal/HOD. Some boards also ask for a written response or a sample lesson plan."
    },
    {
      "q": "Where exactly is St. Marys Covent School located?",
      "a": "The school is in Mayurbhanj, Odisha. Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "St. Marys Covent School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
    },
    {
      "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. The appointment letter or the school's written HR policy is the authoritative source — confirm what applies before treating it as compensation."
    },
    {
      "q": "When are increments and bonuses given?",
      "a": "Most schools run yearly increments tied to the academic calendar (April cycle). Bonus structure depends on the school — confirm in writing before accepting the offer."
    },

    },
    {
      "q": "Are meals provided at school?",
      "a": "Subsidised tea/snacks are common; full meals depend on the school. Boarding schools usually provide meals as part of the package for resident staff."
    },
    {
      "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. Plug the offered CTC into the in-hand salary calculator at /tools/in-hand-salary-calculator for a line-by-line breakdown against this job."
    },
    {
      "q": "What qualifications are required for a HOD Science?",
      "a": "Most HOD Science roles require a relevant Bachelor's/Master's in the subject plus a B.Ed (or equivalent teacher-training qualification). Specific board requirements (CTET, IB workshops, IGCSE training) may also apply."
