Most permanent teaching roles in Indian K-12 schools are open-ended after a 3–6 month probation. The offer letter you receive will state the exact terms, including probation, notice period and confirmation criteria.
Is school transport available for staff?
Many schools offer staff bus service on their main routes, either free or at a nominal fee. Availability depends on whether your home is near a school route — confirm with HR.

Keep it three short paragraphs: (1) subject line "HOD English application — Sainik School"; (2) one paragraph on your qualifications and current role; (3) one paragraph on why Sainik School and your earliest joining date. Attach a PDF resume and any teaching-credentials scans.
How do I make a resume for a CBSE HOD English job?
