    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Mary Matha Public School, Parathodu P.o.?",
      "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise (CBSE) and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification."
    },
    {
      "q": "What is the average Office Assistant salary in Kottayam?",
      "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, Office Assistant pay in Kottayam rises with years of experience, board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further."

    },
    {
      "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."
