Most schools negotiate within this band based on your last drawn CTC and relevant experience." }, { "q": "What qualifications are required for a Receptionist?", "a": "The role expects relevant qualifications and prior experience in a similar setup. Schools generally prefer candidates with verifiable training and references for Receptionist positions." }, { "q": "What questions are asked in a Receptionist interview?", "a": "A full library of role-specific interview guides (PRT, TGT, PGT, subject-wise, coordinator, principal) with model answers is at /interview-questions." }, { "q": "What is the average Receptionist salary in Kotagiri?", "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, Receptionist pay in Kotagiri rises with years of experience, board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further." }, { "q": "Is accommodation provided?", "a": "Day schools generally don't provide accommodation.

Comfortable English communication for classroom delivery and parent meetings is expected." } ] }
