    {
      "q": "What questions are asked in a Accountant interview?",
      "a": "A full library of role-specific interview guides (PRT, TGT, PGT, subject-wise, coordinator, principal) with model answers is at /interview-questions."
    },
    {
      "q": "When are increments and bonuses given?",

    },
    {

    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Travancore Devaswom Board Central School, Chakkuvally follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
    },
    {
      "q": "Do staff get fee concession for their children?",
      "a": "Many schools offer a tuition-fee concession for the children of full-time staff, subject to admission criteria and available seats. The appointment letter or the school's written HR policy is the authoritative source — confirm what applies before treating it as compensation."
    },
    {
      "q": "Will I get PF and statutory benefits?",
      "a": "Most registered schools enrol staff in EPF from day one and pay statutory gratuity. ESI cover applies if your gross is within the eligibility limit at joining."
