Specific board requirements (CTET, IB workshops, IGCSE training) may also apply." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Vidya Niketan?", "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": "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": "Are detailed lesson plans expected?", "a": "Most schools expect weekly lesson plans submitted to the coordinator/HOD, plus unit plans at the start of each term. Templates are usually provided." }, { "q": "Where can I find similar vacancies?", "a": "Use the \"Similar jobs\" panel below, or set up a free job alert so new matching vacancies arrive in your inbox the moment they're posted." }, { "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?", "a": "Most reputable schools in Kolkata run staff transport (bus or shared cab) covering the main residential clusters, with women-first drop after evening duties. On-campus, ICC (Internal Complaints Committee) compliance is standard. Confirm the route map and the last drop time during the interview." }, { "q": "Is school transport available for staff?", "a": "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." }, { "q": "What is the leave policy?", "a": "Schools usually offer 10–18 leaves per year on top of public/school holidays. Earned-leave encashment policies vary — check the offer letter." }, { "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?", "a": "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." }, { "q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?", "a": "Typical schools run a screening call → a demo class (15–30 minutes for the relevant grade) → a panel interview with the Principal/HOD. Some boards also ask for a written response or a sample lesson plan." } ] }
