      "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?",
      "a": "Most schools issue a written offer within 3–7 working days of the final round. If you don't hear back in 10 days, a quick polite follow-up via the \"Message employer\" button on this Purchase Incharge listing is usually welcome."

    },
    {
      "q": "Will I get PF and statutory benefits?",
