Earlier News : IIT, IIM joins hand in pay issue, demand autonomy
The faculties of IITs and IIMs are working on a joint charter of demands to be handed to Union HRD minister Kapil Sibal that includes better hikes and more autonomy. "It is for the first time that IIT professors and IIM professors are sitting down together to discuss what is there in the Sixth Pay Commission and how it is affecting us," according to Dr Bharat Sheth, a professor at IIT Mumbai. The IIM-A faculty council has already met in Ahmedabad on Saturday and opposed the HRD ministry's order on pay structure and asked the institute director to delay its implementation by a month, before future course of action is decided by them. "Faculty council has termed the recent Union HRD ministry orders on pay structure as infringement on academic freedom, and has asked the institute director to postpone its implementation by a month," a senior faculty council member and IIM-A professor said after the council's meeting voicing disappointment. The Council voiced its disappointed at the response of the HRD ministry to the memorandum seeking a pay hike that IIM and IIT professors had earlier submitted to the ministry. IIM (A) also decided to take up the issue with other IIMs and IITs and premier institutions like the IISc Bangalore.

I have just posted software to calculate the revised salary of existing faculty members in IIX on my homepage:
http://web.iitd.ac.in/~kaushal
Suggestions are welcome.
Kaushal
Dear kaushal,
your pay calculator is giving wrong results for Asso.prof. It gives the same pay for Asso.prof who joined in Feb 08 and Feb 09.
It is adding one increment for people who joined on Feb 09. I dont know if this is right!
dear sreenadh
thanx.. i have corrected.
It is a welcome step that the entry level salary of an Asst prof has now been raised to Rs 37000+AGP 8000 in PB4. But the new pay regim does not seem to be caring about the faculty who are already serving for last so many years. Now the salry of a new entrant Asst Prof and the one with 17 years of service has become same!!
Similarly for Associate Prof and Professors also the seniority or length in service does not seem to be reflecting in their saalaries. In fact the 'bunching' of thier salary should now start over and above the 'minimum basic pay' offered to a fresh entrant. The Govt should not only 'attract' the new faculty but also try to 'retain' the already serving faculty. That is also equally important. IIT teachers Association and their Federation should also get this grievance addressed with MHRD. Even the UGC Fitment table fix more salary than the Table S-26 gives for same basic pay. Govt of India's fitment table also have a lot of anamolies. One Example is :
(a) For the old scale of 14300-18300, the new salary for basic pay of 19100 is now 44700.(Table S-24).
(b) For the old scale of 15100 -
18300 the new salary for same basic pay of 19100 is 46500 (Table S-25)
(c) Applicable to IIT teachers - For the old pay scale 16400-20000 (Please note the minimum and maximum are both higher than (a) and (b) above ) for the same basic pay of 19100 it is the 'less' than both above Rs 43390 only ( Table S-25).
It is surprising that the employees already working in a senior scale have been given fitment of lower pay - No reason can be convincing for this mesh made by babus.
Kapil Sibal is right that IIT/IIM teachers are elite class so they should not go for 'strike'. Only NITs, IIITs, ISM Dhanbad, Universities and colleges should go for 'strike'. Elite teachers should not ask for respectable salaries / perks or faciliteis or career advancements: They shall only aim at becoming 'Nobel Laurettes' who never go for strike.
The lie of the Minister and his bandvagon is exposed (that IIT teachers have been given more pay than Govt servants and UGC) from the following fact :-
1. An Assoc Prof in old scale (16400-20000) drawing old basic of Rs 19100 will get basic Rs 43390 + AGP Rs 9500 = Rs 52890.( Tab.S-27)
2. In UGC for this old scale at old basic Rs 19100 one will get Rs 44700+10000= Rs 55700 (UGC Fitment Table No.5 or same Table S-27 !!& S-29)
3. For central Govt servant drawing same old basic pay of Rs 19100 in old scale 12000-18300 (both starting and ending pay less than an Assoc Prof )one will draw new Rs 44700 + GP 9000= 53700 (UGC Table 4 and for Central Govt employees Table S25) and principals old scale 12000-18300 will now get 44700+10000= 54700.
4. For Central Govt servants in old scale of 15100-18300 (Again starting and ending salaries less than Assoc Prof 16400-2000) the new basic basic 46500 + 8900 = 55400
For the same basic pay an IIT Associate Prof ( who is in a senior scale 16400-20000) will get Rs 52890 ( remember he has been given higher AGP 9500 , 500 more than UGC reader). A reader/ principal in UGC ( old scale 12000-18300) will get 54700 and principal Rs 55700. A govt servant will get Rs 53700 and another govt servant will get 55400.
According to Mr Sibal's arguemants (Beware, he is a supreme court lawyer - so he has a right for such arguments) To an IIT Assoc Prof Rs 52890 is higher than Rs 53700, or Rs 54700 or Rs 55400 or Rs 55700.
Can You DARE to BARE in the arguments like him??
BUT Kapil Sibal can still prove that IIT teachers have been given more than others only because he is KAPIL SIBAL.
IIT Teachers,
Why do you want more pay?
1) You dont have to construct many sprawling bunglows for you and your families like our burocrates.
2) You dont have to earn welth for your next 7 generations within 5/10 years like our politicians.
3) You and your families dont have to live very high standard of living living (Rs one lakh per day for your hotel accomodation) like our hon ministers.
4) You dont have to maintain big gang of goondas like some dons seving our politicians.
5) You dont have to keep on your pay rolls many officers for saving Income tax, wealth tax and all other types of taxes.
6) You dont have to do hundreds of big scandals like fodder, telecom etc. etc. etc. and need money to cover them up.
7) You and your family members dont need crores of rupees to get party tickets and then fight elections.
Then why you need more money dear SIRS? and look to the other side also ;
1) A mazdoor (commoner like you)
gets only Rs 50- 100 per day and can feed his family bigger than that of you!
2) You dont have to beg (like many commoners like you) on railway platforms bus stands, streets and other places!!
3) You dont have to do tough jobs like digging the earth, cleaning the streets, carrying loads etc.
YOU ARE TEACHERS BUT UNLIKE OTHER TEACHERS THERE ARE PERKS FOR YOU FROM THE GOVT. LIKE :
1) You are never lathicharged like other govt school teachers.
2) You are not to do odd duties like census, electoral roles family planning drives and other types of Govt sponsored schemes.
3) You dont have to prepare mid day meals 'Khichdi' like school teachers.
4) You dont have to bribe every month the inspectors and clercks to get your salaries.
5) You only have to do some research and writing papers to get next promotion and not to bow down before everyone above you for such promotions like your brethren in schools do.
WITH SO MANY PERKS AND REASONS GIVEN ABOVE YOU ARE BOUND TO BE SATISFIED WITH WHAT HAS BEEN OFFERED TO YOU.
Dear Kapil Sibal Ji,
You WILL walk a mile for IITs only ... ??????
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 ...........
