Are these positions lying vacant due to reservation or due to lack of professors?
I feel we need to start paying our teachers and professors substantially more especially in Premier Institutes.
Current average salary analysis:
IITs:
Assistant Professors:
Grade-II: ₹70,900–₹73,100 per month (entry-level).
Grade-I: ₹1,01,500–1,67,400 per month, with allowances pushing the gross salary to around ₹1.5–₹2 lakh.
Full Professors:
Basic pay ranges from ₹1,44,200 to ₹2,24,100 per month, with gross salaries exceeding ₹2 lakh.
IIMs:
Assistant Professors:
₹15,600–₹39,100 per month, with grade pay of ₹8,000.
This salary structure is literally pathetic considered these are positions are in IITs and IIMs.
A lot of qualified Professors chose to immigrate to well-paying Universities outside.
