The school will confirm exact section size during the interview based on the grade you'll teach." }, { "q": "Do I have to work weekends?", "a": "Standard week is Monday to Saturday (often half-day Saturday). Occasional event Sundays exist (Annual Day, Sports Day, admissions test days) and are usually compensated with a comp-off." }, { "q": "What is the average Librarian salary in Chennai?", "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, Librarian pay in Chennai rises with years of experience, board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further." }, { "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 qualifications are required for a Librarian?", "a": "Most Librarian 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." }, { "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?", "a": "Yes. Most schools accept candidates with up to 60 days of notice. Mention your last working day clearly in your application so the school can plan the joining accordingly." }, { "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?", "a": "Orchids The International School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework." }, { "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": "Most schools review applications within 5–10 working days.
