Salary on time. Many initiatives are faculty friendly like SCOPUS access, Coursera etc. Working in christ is hectic and restless.

Dislikes

No work life balance. if You can work tirelessly throughout college timing and after it then only think to join. seems working in a corporate with many and close deadlines. Restless job culture. Any work may come up in a day and it will spoil the day. You need not plan your day as you can not but the university plans for you. very tight monitoring and when it comes to appraisal they check everything. It is difficult for an employee to be good in all areas but they expect it from all employees. during holidays also, expect to work without compensation (Monetary or CL). Process-oriented university and everything comes to the faculty....Read More

Where do I start????? This place is a HELLHOLE!!! So I worked here for 3 years in department of Law central campus. I noticed following things---- 1. MICROMANAGEMENT ULTRA PRO MAX- You cant sit and teach, you will be given 75-80 students in a class and if someone puts there head down or uses a phone you will be called out and told that you are unable to manage. Cant go one minute late and cant leave one minute early, like a school there is a bell. 2. SUBSTITUTION IN CASE OF LEAVE- So you will be asked to provide a substitute for your class in case you take a leave, so you have to beg others even in case of emergency, i have seen people in ill health take class because no one was taking their substitute, 3. MANAGEMENT BY HOD- So there is a person who is HOD there, she will have her set of favourites who will be shielded at all cost. These people can do any sort of offence and get away, whereas others if they go to class one minute late, they will be called out. She will show you like she is there for you, but she will be the one bringing you down. 4. HR PEOPLE- So these HRs are real piece of work. They have ZERO empathy and ZERO regard for people. People who are fulbright scholars are earning less and still sitting at asst professor and people who have nil publications and no record of any work are associate and paid more. Also these people are extorters, they see you weak and vulnerable they are going to pounce on you and ask money in case you leave. 5. UNREALISTIC SCOPUS EXPECTATIONS- They will spring stupid workload on you with 3 classes in a day and expect you to publish in scopus. They dont care what you publish, as long as they see your name in scopus. 6. RUDE DIRECTOR- So this man Director of Law, he is world's worst person ever. Full of himself, with no background in law, he is made so called Director. You go talk to him for something, he will never listen to you and keep on spilling poison from his mouth. Being a father he has zero regard for human beings. 7. PATRIARCHAL SETUP- Moral policing regarding clothes is at peak. You will be shamed not only teachers but students also. Requiring woman to wear coat over shirts to cover them while men can roam around like that is inhuman and ancient. 8. NORTH V/S SOUTH- If you are non mallu and non christian its better to remain unemployed than to go here. It will be really really difficult for them to accept you. In my tenure multiple north indians left simply because they trouble them and give them huge workload....Read More

The only good part of working here is that the University pays slightly better than other private universities across the country.

I have worked at the Lavasa Off Campus of the apparent "esteemed" CHRIST University for over a year now as an assistant professor. The first thing that surprised me was its traditional approach to dress codes for both staff and students. Female teachers are allowed to wear either sarees or pants and shirts with blazers. Students arenot allowed to wear jeans and tees except on Saturdays. The second drawback is the fine system that is imposed on the students for every odd reason. The students have to endlessly pay fines for several reasons the University deems as misconduct. Lavasa being a very unique geographical place for a University, it is highly difficult to sustain the learning and growth potential in the students and faculty alike. The rigid rules and regulations imposed on students and teachers in the name of discipline and decorum often deters them from achieving true scholastic growth as the teachers spend more time in disciplining the students on their behaviours and dress codes than in pursuing the actual goal of engaging in teaching and research. The third and the worst part of working at CHRIST University is the bad work ethics which expects and most often forces the teachers to engage the students from morning 8:30 am to evening 9-10 PM. The teachers are overburdened with administrative work which goes until 10 PM -12 midnight. Despite the efforts from the teachers, the Director hardly appreciates their contributions. Every General Faculty Meeting and Departmental Meeting will be designed to focus on the negative traits of teachers and the insignificant disciplinary issues of students and staff and one is made to feel like a recalcitrant child who has to be admonished time and again in order to make him toe the line. Besides, the politics among the faculty members is abysmal. The Malayali majority maintains and promotes nepotism and is corrupt to the core. The only thing that is appreciated here is mediocrity. Most staff members holding higher positions are the least qualified who have reached those positions through corrupt and devious means. It is quite difficult to work in such a corrupt system where the majority of the staff is manipulative, unethical, unprofessional and unempathetic....Read More
