For jobs, this is a selection of the applicable industry group.<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Choose a Publication Date:<\/strong> Select a date from our calendar. If you are posting a recruitment advertisement, choose Sunday. Any day is good for government job notices, but Sunday has more impact.<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Write Your Ad:<\/strong> Take advantage of our live preview tool to write and format your ad.

Regional editions are much more affordable and work well for localised campaigns such as Madurai or Mangalore.<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Day of Publication:<\/strong> The Sunday edition enjoys higher readership and therefore higher value across all print mediums, especially in the jobs classified section.<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Extras:<\/strong> Bold text, tick marks and background colour include a small additional charge, but boost response rates. Logo insertion also boosts response rates at no extra cost.<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Combo Pricing:<\/strong> Booking the Chennai + Bangalore + Hyderabad editions together offers a discount compared to booking each edition separately.<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n \r\n <h2 id=\"faq\" class=\"text-2xl font-bold mt-10 mb-4 text-brand-dark\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"brand-faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"brand-faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\">\r\n What is the cost of a classified ad in The Hindu?\r\n <i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down brand-faq-icon\"><\/i>\r\n <\/button>\r\n <div class=\"brand-faq-answer\">\r\n <p>The classified text ads (ROL) charges begin at ₹300 per line.

Regional editions are much more affordable and work well for localised campaigns such as Madurai or Mangalore.<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Day of Publication:<\/strong> The Sunday edition enjoys higher readership and therefore higher value across all print mediums, especially in the jobs classified section.<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Extras:<\/strong> Bold text, tick marks and background colour include a small additional charge, but boost response rates. Logo insertion also boosts response rates at no extra cost.<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Combo Pricing:<\/strong> Booking the Chennai + Bangalore + Hyderabad editions together offers a discount compared to booking each edition separately.<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n \r\n <h2 id=\"faq\" class=\"text-2xl font-bold mt-10 mb-4 text-brand-dark\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"brand-faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"brand-faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\">\r\n What is the cost of a classified ad in The Hindu?\r\n <i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down brand-faq-icon\"><\/i>\r\n <\/button>\r\n <div class=\"brand-faq-answer\">\r\n <p>The classified text ads (ROL) charges begin at ₹300 per line.
