How long does it take to hear back after applying?
Most schools review applications within 5–10 working days. If you don't hear back in two weeks, the role has usually been filled or paused — keep applying to similar openings in the meantime.

Can I negotiate the salary at Nachiketan Model Sr. Sec. School Ellenabad?
