  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "What kind of professional development is offered?",
      "a": "Most schools run weekly/monthly in-house PD sessions on pedagogy and assessment. Funded external workshops (board-specific or subject-specific) are offered to teachers in good standing."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Indira Shishu Gyan Kender follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
    },
    {
      "q": "What questions are asked in a HOD English interview?",
      "a": "A full library of role-specific interview guides (PRT, TGT, PGT, subject-wise, coordinator, principal) with model answers is at /interview-questions."
    },
    {
      "q": "Will I get PF and statutory benefits?",
      "a": "Most registered schools enrol staff in EPF from day one and pay statutory gratuity. ESI cover applies if your gross is within the eligibility limit at joining."
    },
    {
      "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 long does it take to hear back after applying?",
      "a": "Response times vary, but shortlisted candidates are typically contacted within a week. You'll get a notification on School Jobs India the moment the school updates your application status."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is there a probation period?",
      "a": "Yes — a 3 to 6 month probation is standard in K-12 schools across India. Benefits like PF and gratuity continue to accrue from day one regardless."
    },
    {
      "q": "How big are the classes?",
      "a": "Class sizes in Indian K-12 schools usually fall in the 25–40 student range. Premium IB/IGCSE schools often cap sections at 22–25."
    },
    {
      "q": "Do I have to work weekends?",
      "a": "Most day schools follow a 6-day or 5.5-day week with Sundays off. Occasional Saturdays may go to events, parent meetings, or PD sessions."
    },
    {
      "q": "How will I know if my application is being reviewed?",
      "a": "You'll get a status notification on School Jobs India (and by email) each time the school updates your application — Shortlisted, Interviewing, Offered or Not selected. Sign in and open \"My applications\" to see the timeline anytime."
