The salary range between engineering based and arts based employee was very huge. For eg, an art bg trainee will receive 14k but engineering bg trainee will receive 26k. They both will be provided with the same training, will do the exact same work. But the salary range will be differ. Even the increment process also the same, arts bg will receive only 2k after a yr as an increment but for engineering near 10k....Read More
