  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "Is B.Ed mandatory for this role?",
      "a": "For most K-12 teaching positions a B.Ed (or NIOS D.El.Ed for primary) is preferred and often required by board affiliations; pre-primary and special-skill roles sometimes accept relevant certification in lieu. Detailed CTET/TET and eligibility rules are covered in the guide: /guides/ctet-tet-qualifications."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is background verification done before joining?",
      "a": "Yes — most schools run document and reference verification, and many use third-party background checks. Keep your last 2–3 employer references and original certificates ready."
    },
    {
      "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": "How do I write an application email for this Montessori Teacher role?",
      "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"Montessori Teacher — Padmawati Sarsawati Vidya Mandir Matina\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter."
    },
    {
      "q": "What questions are asked in a Montessori Teacher interview?",
      "a": "Six sample questions with model answers for this exact role — including a demo-lesson walkthrough, classroom-management scenario and subject-specific probe — are in the Pre-Primary interview guide: /interview-questions/pre-primary-teacher."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is school transport available for staff?",
      "a": "Staff transport varies. Larger schools with their own fleet usually allow staff onboarding on existing routes; smaller schools may not run dedicated routes."
    },
    {
      "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": "Where exactly is Padmawati Sarsawati Vidya Mandir Matina located?",
      "a": "The school is in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Padmawati Sarsawati Vidya Mandir Matina?",
      "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise (state-board) and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification."
    },
    {
      "q": "What is the average Montessori Teacher salary in Shimla?",
      "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, Montessori Teacher pay in Shimla rises with years of experience, board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further."
