I'm serving notice — should I still apply?
Absolutely — schools regularly hire candidates on notice. Be upfront about your release date so interview scheduling and the offer timeline can be aligned.
Is the salary CTC or in-hand?

Is accommodation provided?
Accommodation is not standard for day-school roles — confirm details with the Principal's office during the interview.

Mahapragya Vidya Niketan follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.
