Specifics are spelled out in the offer letter." }, { "q": "What is the leave policy?", "a": "Teaching staff typically get all school holidays plus 8–15 casual/sick leaves per academic year. Long vacations (summer, winter, Diwali, Holi breaks) follow the published school calendar." }, { "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?", "a": "The employment type is shown in the Key Facts section above.

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": "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 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": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?", "a": "Most schools have 2–3 rounds: an HR call, a demo lesson, then a leadership interview.
