Is background verification done before joining?

Is there a probation period?
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.
How do I make a resume for a CBSE Accountant job?

Skip generic corporate objectives. The School Jobs India resume builder has a ready template you can fill in and download.
