Specific board requirements (CTET, IB workshops, IGCSE training) may also apply." }, { "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?", "a": "Absolutely — schools regularly hire candidates on notice. Be upfront about your release date so interview scheduling and the offer timeline can be aligned." }, { "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": "Can I negotiate the salary at Swami Vivekananda International School?", "a": "Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities." }, { "q": "Is background verification done before joining?", "a": "Standard pre-joining checks cover qualification documents, prior employment, and reference calls. Some larger groups also do criminal-record verification." }, { "q": "What is the leave policy?", "a": "Schools usually offer 10–18 leaves per year on top of public/school holidays.

City tier and board affiliation move the number materially — IB and Cambridge schools sit at the top of the range, state-board private schools at the base." }, { "q": "Is English fluency required?", "a": "Yes — instruction is in English at most CBSE schools. Comfortable English communication for classroom delivery and parent meetings is expected." }, { "q": "When are increments and bonuses given?", "a": "Most schools run yearly increments tied to the academic calendar (April cycle). Bonus structure depends on the school — confirm in writing before accepting the offer." } ] }
