Be ready to walk through one of your lesson plans and how you handle classroom management." }, { "q": "Is accommodation provided?", "a": "Day schools generally don't provide accommodation. The school may help with referrals to nearby PGs or rentals during your relocation." }, { "q": "Do I have to work weekends?", "a": "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." }, { "q": "Is the salary CTC or in-hand?", "a": "Most Indian schools quote annual CTC.

Ask about \"relocation assistance\" and \"staff quarters\" in the interview — it's a common ask." }, { "q": "What is the average HOD Humanities salary in Chennai?", "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, HOD Humanities pay in Chennai varies with years of experience (each 3-year block adds roughly 15-25%), board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further." }, { "q": "How do I apply for this HOD Humanities vacancy?", "a": "Apply through this page using your School Jobs India profile.
