What is the average Principal salary in Aligarh?
Refer to the on-page "Salary snapshot" for the current market band. Broadly, Principal pay in Aligarh varies with years of experience (each 3-year block adds roughly 15-25%), board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further.
What does a typical day look like?
Most teachers handle 4–6 instructional periods a day, with the rest going to lesson planning, assessment correction, and a co-curricular duty.
Which curriculum does the school follow?
