  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?",
      "a": "Most schools issue a written offer within 3–7 working days of the final round. If you don't hear back in 10 days, a quick polite follow-up via the \"Message employer\" button on this Dean listing is usually welcome."
    },
    {
      "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."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is there a probation period?",
      "a": "Yes — a 3 to 6 month probation is standard in K-12 schools across India. Benefits like PF and gratuity continue to accrue from day one regardless."
    },
    {
      "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": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Vidhya Niketan School 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": "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 questions are asked in a Dean interview?",
      "a": "Six sample questions with model answers for this exact role — including a demo-lesson walkthrough, classroom-management scenario and subject-specific probe — are in the Coordinator interview guide: /interview-questions/academic-coordinator."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is accommodation provided?",
      "a": "Accommodation is not standard for day-school roles — confirm details with the Principal's office during the interview."

      "q": "How will I know if my application is being reviewed?",
      "a": "You'll get a status notification on School Jobs India (and by email) each time the school updates your application — Shortlisted, Interviewing, Offered or Not selected. Sign in and open \"My applications\" to see the timeline anytime."
