Overall university activities and inter university activities

Dislikes

There is no policy and provision for wrong doing of deans . They can hire and fire anybody which is the worst part here . There is no committee to listen problem of faculties . There is a dean in SOHT dept, work environment is pathetic there, he only follow his own rules, he don't want university to interfere in his work . Most of the faculties in that department are unqualified that dont have PhD, research papers, net qualified even they have not qualified Hotel mgt entrance exam. Dean can shout to faculties in front of co ordinator. Due to that I have to resign from my job and I was very dissatisfied from dean behavior but no body listen to me. My performance was also excellent during two year and published so many research papers and won many award but if dean like of SOHT dept implement their own rules and hire unqualified faculty then how the quality of education will improve. I enjoyed working in university but due to department politics I have to resign and no action has been taken against dean even he also out question paper which are totally confidential there is one faculty who has access of all subjects question papers that is totally confidential. I don't know why actions have not been taken against the dean of department in such a wrong activities . He even discriminate against female and male. He talks very softly to female faculties but talk very rude against male faculty due to that most of the male faculty resigned. He also promote drinks, liquor, night parties on the roof of SOHT. I don't know how it is allowed in the university culture. I request from higher authorities to take strict action against dean of SOHT other wise it will ruined all the culture of the department and university which I already suffered there as a faculty. I hope this feedback will be taken as a seriously for the betterment of university....Read More

University has the vision and focus when it comes to academic matters. Teachers are well respected and it is safe to work. Infrastructure of the university is more than adequate.

Dislikes

Work life balance is really bad. 1. Leave policy is not transparent and sanctioning them is cumbersome. Pitfalls in leave rules deliberately deny using well earned leaves. 2. Faculty are held back on evenings without any notice. No consideration is given to plans they might have. No compensation is provided for the same. 3. One working saturday every month where no work is done for the most of the year. Was not informed of this during interview or even mentioned in the offer letter. Administrative issues 1. Most administration work is mismanaged and excessively chaotic. 2. HR and accounts are severely understaffed, with other departments not so far behind. 3. Most policies of leave, reimbursement, research, promotions are on a need to know basis. Shouldn't they be on the website? 4. Admissions / marketing department is hardly doing enough. Admissions is lagging behind every term. Salary Issues 1. Salary is only sent after 15th of every month. 2. Frequent delays in salary even after 15th. 3. Yearly appraisal is low. 4. Accounts department does not help in showing tax deductible items on the salary. Extra tax is being deducted every month because of this refusal. Online portal issues 1. Online portal is very badly designed. Unintuitive and cumbersome. 2. Marking attendance is especially problematic for multiple classes on the same date. 3. Basic functionalities and tools available elsewhere on other university portals are missing here. Benefits 1. Healthcare plan only on paper. No other insurance or wellness plans provided. 2. No financial plans provided. 3. No incentive schemes or bonuses provided. 4. No employee discounts or assistance programs provided. 5. Minimal transportation allowance provided in salary just to show within breakdown. 6. No personal development programs provided....Read More
