Kasiga School Teacher Dehradun Reviews

Likes

1) Do not submit any of your original documents at any cost to the school. 2) Leaving the school will not be an easy task. Hundreds of terms and conditions along with hefty fines for leaving mid-sessions and with holding experience certificate and original documents. 3) Working on Saturday/Sunday. 4) No work-life balance. You willnever be able to have family time while working here. 5) Stressful, biased and political atmosphere. 6) Mandatory to speak in English, but students wont understand English. 7) Strictly formal wear (tie and blazer are compulsory, feels like typical colonial slavery mindset). 8) Do not fall for the beautiful campus (life inside is miserable). 9) New teachers will be given classes which are lagging behind and have below average students. 10) Teachers will not be consulted before getting the classes. 11) Section heads and HODs will play politics to get CAMBRIDGE sections (minimum workload, less number of students), while new teachers will be given CBSE classes (more students, below average, lagging classes, more workload). 12) Your qualifications do not matter here. You need to play active politics. 13) At the same payscale you can get much better schools, with appropriate workload and healthy atmosphere. 14) Mess food will be completely unhealthy (Start your day with junk bread (maida) and follow the same unhealthy food through out the day)....Read More

Dislikes

1) Management is substandard. (DHOS, HR, Section Heads) 2) No fixed schedule even for a week (Imagine the pathetic state, where you do not know the activities and time table for the following week). 3) Difficult for the body and mind to adapt to such a place where there are no fixed schedules and timings for anything. 4) Workload will be unrealistic (more than 40 classes per week). 5) Before joining make sure about the classes and the workload. 6) You will be asked to clear the backlog of previous teachers who left the school unexpectedly because of the poor and miserable management. 7) Highly biased and political atmosphere. 8) Make useless lesson planners everyday and get them approved from useless people. 9) Salary is below market standards. 10) You are not allowed to take holidays on Saturdays/Mondays. 11) No one is allowed to fall sick/die/meet an accident (including your family members) on Saturdays/Mondays. In any such case do not take leave. 12) Evening preps will make your life hell. 13) In short, you can get far better options at the same pay scale with a healthy atmosphere....Read More

The Principal and his principles.There are many khabaris of the principal, too much paper work, rewards are given to principal's chamchas who say yes to all his outdated ideas. Pathetic work condition. ALl those who have given good ratings are the favorites of the principal and have done so to impress him

1) All the 5 star reviews that you see here are given by internal bootlickers of the management. 2) Infact these 5 star reviews and the positions mentioned are far from reality and completely fake just to raise the ratings of the school. 3) This is a terrible school, with a pathetic management, ineffective DHOS and HR. 4) Teachers are forced to leave the school becos of the political and biased atmosphere here. 5) So do not submit your original documents here, bcos you may be treated very harshly and you may feel like quitting at any moment. 6) At the time of joining, you will be told by HR that this is one of the best school which promotes work-life baalance, but this is all fake. 7) At the time of joining, they will ask you to submit original documents and once you do this, you will be trapped. You will not be able to leave the school. They will impose monetary fine and also bring in their own policies to trap you. 8) Around December they will ask you to sign a form confirming that you will not leave during the next session. Any sane person cannot make such a promise and these are just traps. Do not sign any such form. 9) No proper raise/hikes/promotions are in place. You will have to be a boot licker for that. 10) Before joining they will call you to visit the campus (final interview) during the vacations. The empty campus indeed looks beautiful, but do not fall for such cheap hacks. 11) Try to be in the campus for 3 - 4 days when the session is running. Taste the terrible and unhealthy food of the mess during the session. See the pathetic state of the school when session is running. Then you will not join this school....Read More

Dislikes

1) If you think you will get an opportunity to teach here, it is far from reality. 2) The class rooms will all be mess, with students using abusive language for the teachers and you will be forced to teach here. 3) If you speak English, students may not be able to understand it. But you will still be forced to speak English all thetime. 4) There is a huge disparity in the teaching load. HODs will have free time, and you, as a new joiner, will teach more than 40 classes per week. 5) Before joining, make sure about your workload and the classes you will have to teach. 6) HODs will not take CBSE classes because of the large no of students and more workload. They will enjoy their time in CAMBRIDGE, and you will work like a donkey in the CBSE section. 7) The head of the middle school, Cambridge, and CBSE section heads are not qualified to be heads. They are mere bootlickers of the management. If you try to function well and independently, your path will be hindered. 8) The pay scale is much lower than the donkey business you will do here. 9) There will be preps in the evening. You will have no work-life balance. 10) Even Sundays will be made working and disrupt your family life completely. 11) There will be plenty of other options far better than KASIGA....Read More

If you are a fresher/experienced teacher looking for working at Kaisga, then these reviews will be very helpful : 1) The best thing about Kasiga is that it keeps hiring new employees every 2-3 months, keeping the school environment fresh, because the retention rate is very poor. 2) Open up the Linkedin page of Kasiga HR and look at the posts carefully. You can find posts for hiring teachers every now and then, because they cannot hold good employees for long. 3) Before joining Kasiga, get connected with the previous teachers via LinkedIn, who left from here during last 2 years and it will help you to understand the pathetic state of this school. 4) First advice do not join this place as it is just a business model to please students and parents and has no respect for teachers. 5) One more interesting thing about the school is that, it offers you endless working at substandard payscale. You will be working on weekdays, weekends and also on Sundays. 6) Moreover the school will trick you in the disguise of Summer/Winter Breaks. These breaks are supposed to be holidays but DHOS will keep mailing during these breaks and her chamchas will keep working in accordance to her mails. Moreover the peace of the vacations will be taken away by the illogical and irrelevant mails of the DHOS. 7) Instead of joining this school, it will be better if you can take private tuition....Read More

Dislikes

1) Current DHOS, HR and their chamchas if removed can lead to the betterment of the overall atmosphere of the school. 2) Food will be a challenge at this place, because they will feed you junk throughout and expect you to be fit and healthy. 3) Too much politics and dirt in the allocation of workload, number of classes, sections and class allocation. You have to be a pro to win this game. 4) Do not count on DHOS for anything. The position is not suited for the present candidate. 5) No institute can force you to handover your original documents as per law. So tell the HR on her face clearly, that you are not going to give your original documents....Read More

Dislikes

Attrition rate is very high. Within a year 80% faculty either leave the school or they run away without information. HR does not know the H of human resource and C of compliances. Most of the time, she is in leave and deceives management by pretending to work from home. Head of middle section is a big curse for the school. Quality of students is worst, with many found in possession of drugs. additionally, a female staff member was caught supplying drugs and aubsequently fired from the school. All five stars given by boot lickers....Read More

The scenic location of the campus is good. Good colleagues.

Dislikes

In the past 11 years of the history of school, they had 10 principals. No stability. The current principal is no good. The last principal reduced the students strength to half, and the new one is trying to reduce the staff strength to half. And how is he doing this, by staff harassment, make them resign or abscond. Out of all the people I have seen going in last 8 years, none of them want to even enter the campus again. Their clearances were done after months and a lot of begging by the staff. So, people have resorted to leave over night. The school does not stick to their words, they say something, and do otherwise. The HR is also of no help. Serious recommendation - Do NOT join. I cant leave, because I have my home here. But, not worth it...Read More

Dislikes

Everything, if you are boot licker join this place. You will definetily grow. The present CIE coordinator was a flatterer of the previous Head, she got selected and more deserving ones were not. She had so much control over the head that she got her own boot licker selected as the head boy of the school a totally undeserving candidate. She actually can't manage the job. Most of the times she would ask her collegues for help. She even asks the students to do her official job related to IT. The other one the middle school head is the biggest faltterer. She has to poke her nose in everybody elses business. She calls herself a SEN specialist but she does everything other than SEN. The worst part is the Principal himself. He has ruined the school completely. No work life balance. No salary hikes. Only school coming time is strict but the dispersal time keeps on changing....Read More

It is a risk joining this school in terms of every aspect. The school looks like a heaven but be careful what looks good may not be actually good. Harmful organisation for teachers and students.

Dislikes

Be careful about tax deduction. Regularly check your 26 AS Tax Credit Statement and take a note how much tax they deducted and how much they actually paid to you IT. Calculation error in salary slip is a monthly error. Be Careful about your career and think twice to take your family there on the basis of a job at kasiga

I joined this school with a hope to grow with them and stay in dehradun forever. But this school nearly ruined my life. They will attract people with good salary and after few months you will see how much they deduct from your salary and be ca
