A five-member AIIITFF delegation met Sibal in New Delhi on Tuesday. "He assured us that the issues which we had raised had been considered. He said the government had done whatever it could and some issues had been addressed. But he wasn't specific on what those issues were. He said a new notification will be issued shortly," said IIT Bombay Faculty Forum secretary Soumyo Mukherji.
The federation, which was disappointed with the ministry's response to the demands raised by faculty from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) on new pay scales and perks as per the 6th Pay Commission, had met on September 6 to take stock of the situation. A rejoinder to the ministry's response, which had been prepared by AIIITFF, was also submitted to the minister on Tuesday.
The federation will now wait for the notification before deciding on the next course of action. "We'll see whether the revised notification meets our expectations. We hope it will address our concerns. Thereafter, we'll decide on the future course of action," said Mukherji.Source : DNA ; "Read The World".

The demand for higher starting pay and PB4 for Asst Professor ( from 30000 to 37000 with AGP 8000 )and removal of cap of 40% for upgrading the AGP of all Professors after 6 years seem to have been accepted by the Minister HRD but it seems the raising of AGP for Associate Professors (from 9500 to 10000) has not been accepted. It is not understood why every time the 'middle order' is squeezed and is at receiving end?
There is considerable enhancement agreed by the minister over the last notification for new entrants only. After lifting the cap of 40% for higher AGP, Professors have also got something but for Associate Professors there is neither automatic upgradation nor 'bunching' of pay above the 'minimum starting pay' that a new entrant as Assoc prof will get. Why always injustice to Assoc Professors?
Is it that AIIITFF has also 'ditched' them and not pressing MHRD to improve something over the earlier for them also? We should think of the good for all.
Remember ' United we stand and divided we fall'
The revised notification has been approved and can be viewed at

Dear Kapil Sibal Ji,
WILL You walk a mile only for IITs ... ??????
WHY CANT YOU WALK A FEW STEPS----- ONLY A FEW STEPS.... FOR NITs.... .... IN PARTICULAR YOUNG FACULTY MEMBERS..... ARE WE NOT YOUR KIDS.....
NIT faculty members were made to wait for almost an year more than UGC. Finally MHRD discovered that we are same like UGC and has given the same UGC scales.....
Various NITs made a number of memorandums.(In a dignified manner as reported by IIM)
But, not even a single time their concerns were heard, in the TWO modifications MHRD has given dated 16th and 22nd.
The pay commission was framed to attract young faculty members with PhD and to retain existing faculty.
As far as NITs are converned MHRD has done everything possible to retain existing senior faculty members.
For young faculty members, MHRD said seven non compoundable advance increment will be given for a person with PhD.
Unfortunately, we don,t know, whether our English is bad or MHRDs, the existing faculty members with PhDs are given a mere TWO increments only. The argument is that a person who is going to be recruited after this GO and who joins with a PhD only will be given 7 increments. Even if a person submits his thesis and gets his PhD the next day of joining NIT, he will be eligible for only TWO increments.
Young faculty members with PhD represented MHRD through various memorandums to keep them at 7000 AGP AT LEAST.
BUT NOTHING HAPPENED FOR THIS DIGNIFIED(AS REPORTED BY IIM)PETITIONS TILL DATE. INSTEAD WE ARE PUNISHED STILL MORE BY GIVING JUST TWO INCREMENTS.
OKAY, If we think that We will leave this institution and join another as a fresher to get atleast the SEVEN increments promised for a fresher, UGC has recently come up with another regulation saying, Discretionary award of advance increments can be given only to Asso Profs and Professors and not to a person joining fresh AS ASSISTANT PROFESSOR(6.4.19 IN REGULATION 2009).
WHY..... What wrong thing we made....Spending 5 to 10 years in various industries and institutions before joining NIT is a fault...OR Did a bit of research to get a PhD in service is a fault... WHAT WRONG THING WE MADE....
SO, U WONT GIVE US PROPER SALARY... U wont allow us to join ANOTHER INSTITUTION also peacefully....(B,COS WE WILL LOSE OUR SERVICE AND WE MAY NOT GET ADVANCE INCREMENTS OTHER THAN FOR PHD......) So, MHRD should tell us what service we should do in our existing institutes...
THOSE WHO JOINED NIT AFTER SUBMITTING THEIR THESIS AND GOT THEIR PhD IN SERVICE IN A MONTH OR TWO AFTER JOINING NIT DONT KNOW
WHETHER WE ARE A FRESH FACULTY
OR
AN EXISTING FACULTY......
WE ARE NOT PROVIDED EITHER THE BENEFITS SHOWN TO EXISTING FACULTY(SENIORS)
NOR
THE BENEFITS GIVEN TO FRESH FACULTY.....
AND WE CANT LEAVE FOR ANOTHER INSTITUTION ALSO(for the reason mentioned above)
ONLY GOD CAN SAVE US ...........
