    {
      "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?",
      "a": "Most schools review applications within 5–10 working days. If you don't hear back in two weeks, the role has usually been filled or paused — keep applying to similar openings in the meantime."

    {
      "q": "What is the average Vice Principal salary in Ooty?",
      "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, Vice Principal pay in Ooty rises with years of experience, board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further."
    },
