Is NISER’s pay package better than the IISERs’?
June 20th, 2008
From http://niser.iopb.res.in/careers/ the NISER pay is:
Assistant Professor 12,000-375-16,500 Reader (F) 14,300-400-18,300 Associate Professor 16,400-450-20,000 Professor 18,400-500-22,400
.. In addition to the basic salary, NISER faculty is entitled to allowances as admissible to Central Government Employees stationed at Bhubaneswar and to the DAE’s update allowance, which is currently Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 30,000 per year depending on the scale of pay. They will also receive other fringe benefits (like Relocation Grant, Reimbursement of telephone charges, financial support to attend national/international Conferences/Seminars/Workshops, etc.) which will be comparable to the best in the country.
From http://www.iiserkol.ac.in/career.html the IISER pay is:
1. Professor : Scale of pay : Rs 18,400 – 500 – 22,400
2. Associate Professor : Scale of pay : Rs 16,400 – 450 – 20,000
3. Assistant Professor : Scale of pay : Rs 12,000 – 420 – 18,300
including allowances as admissible to Central Government Employees in Kolkata.… In addition to pay and allowances the faculty members may be provided with the following:
Reimbursement of telephone charges up to Rs 750 per month.
Rs 4000 per year as book grant.
Reimbursement of 75% of membership fee (restricted to Rs.5,000.00) of two international and two national professional bodies every year.
Financial support to attend national/international Conferences/Seminars/Workshops, etc.
Seed money for starting research laboratory.
I wonder if IISERs have something comparable to the DAE update allowance that NISER will pay. Otherwise that could be a selling point for NISER over the IISERs. Perhaps a knowledgeable reader can enlighten us on this aspect.
