1. How should I answer the salary expectation question?
Give a range, not a single number. Anchor on the typical Wing Head - Primary band in Puducherry (see the Salary snapshot on this page) plus a 10-15% premium for your experience. Say you're open to discussion once the role scope is confirmed.

3. How should I discuss my notice period and joining date?
Be upfront and specific: last working day at current school, earliest realistic joining date, and any flexibility (early release, unpaid leave). Schools plan around academic calendars — a clear date wins over vague "as soon as possible".
4. Tell me about yourself — how should I frame my self-introduction?
Keep it 60-90 seconds: start with your name and current role, then two or three highlights that map to the Wing Head - Primary brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why Vaasavi International School in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
5. Why do you want to work at Vaasavi International School?
Show you've done the homework: reference the CBSE curriculum, the Puducherry campus, and one specific programme or value from their website. Tie it to what you bring — pedagogy, subject expertise or a co-curricular strength.
6. What questions should I ask at the end?
Ask three: one about the team (department size, coordinator style), one about growth (PD budget, appraisal cadence), and one about the school (a specific programme). Avoid opening with leave/salary questions unless the panel invites them.
