Mid-term joining is common for replacement vacancies; new positions often align to April or the start of the next term." }, { "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": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?", "a": "Staff transport with defined pickup points, a women-first evening drop policy, CCTV coverage in corridors and staff areas, and an active Internal Complaints Committee are the norm at most established Indian schools. Ask HR for the specific route serving your locality." }, { "q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?", "a": "Most schools have 2–3 rounds: an HR call, a demo lesson, then a leadership interview. 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. 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": "How will I know if my application is being reviewed?", "a": "Every status change (viewed, shortlisted, interview scheduled, offered) is pushed to your dashboard and email. Turn on job alerts for the same role in the same city so you don't lose momentum if this one pauses." }, { "q": "Is accommodation provided?", "a": "Day schools generally don't provide accommodation. The school may help with referrals to nearby PGs or rentals during your relocation." }, { "q": "Is there a probation period?", "a": "Most schools run a 3–6 month probation with the same salary as confirmation. Confirmation is typically subject to satisfactory performance reviews and document verification." }, { "q": "Is background verification done before joining?", "a": "Yes — most schools run document and reference verification, and many use third-party background checks. Keep your last 2–3 employer references and original certificates ready." }, { "q": "What is the salary for this HOD Science role?", "a": "Refer to the salary range posted on this page. Most schools negotiate within this band based on your last drawn CTC and relevant experience." } ] }
