    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Travancore Devaswom Board Central School, Altharamood?",
      "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise (CBSE) and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Travancore Devaswom Board Central School, Altharamood follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
