About the school: Pragati Vidyalaya is a modest, Marathi-medium aided school focusing on foundational education for primary grades. With a small team, basic facilities (library, computers, ramps), and community orientation, it serves local needs but may lack the sparkle of more tech-rich or extracurricular-driven institutions. If you're seeking an affordable neighborhood school for early education, it's a practical option. For higher academic ambitions or extracurricular variety, you might compare it against schools like Elpro, Silver Crest, or Sanskar nearby.
Common questions about this role
Do I have to work weekends?
Standard week is Monday to Saturday (often half-day Saturday). Occasional event Sundays exist (Annual Day, Sports Day, admissions test days) and are usually compensated with a comp-off.
Will I get PF and statutory benefits?
Yes — established schools provide EPF (Provident Fund) and gratuity (after 5 years), and most also provide ESI for staff under the wage threshold. Specifics are spelled out in the offer letter.
Is there a probation period?
Most schools run a 3–6 month probation with the same salary as confirmation. Confirmation is typically subject to satisfactory performance reviews and document verification.
When are increments and bonuses given?
Annual increments are usually announced in March/April, alongside the new academic year. Performance-linked bonuses vary by school — some pay a one-month festive bonus, others none.
What's the interview process like for this role?
Hiring usually takes 2–3 rounds: an initial call, a hands-on assessment, then a final round. Bring photocopies of your qualifications and at least one professional reference.
