Amity University Junior Research Fellow salaries in Kolkata

Likes

They provide salary and appraisal on time. But there are no defined salary structures. Only those close to top management get good salaries. Rest are underpaid.

Dislikes

Worst work culture. No job satisfaction. They do not spend on faculty, students, events or even industrial visits. The placements are also extremely poor. They only earn money but they don’t spend on anything. No skill development initiatives for faculty.

Underpaid as compared to the workload. You have to take 6-7 lectures in a day. To complete the no. of lectures you have to take extra class.Lots of politics.Junior and senior culture.Stressful environment.HR policies are also vague.If you face any problem related to the department and inform HR about the same, no action will be taken.They don't promote research work.To get good appraisal you have to always say YES to your HOI.No job security,you can be fired any day and any time.Those who are thinking of joining AMITY please clarify your doubts before joining.

...re going to washroom, you have to take permissions. 2. Zero medical convenience. Though they have casual leaves and sick leaves option but if you are absent for more than 2 days continuously, your salary won't be credited because the HOI will not approve your leaves giving you irrelevant reasons from the account office. 3. Salary issues are there. Strict timing issues are there, they have biometric machines which don't work properly and attendance is not regularized, resulting in deduction of salary. 4. I understand the importance of I'd cards but they have started taking financial perks. One has to pay Rs 5000/- for lost I'd card. 5. The assistance while interviewing is tooooo good but after your joining HR will ask you to go to one person, that one person will ask you to go to the second and the cycle continues causing you excess work load and irrelevant stress. 6. No matter what, even if you have an accident or some operation/surgery, you have to join the institute within 3 days, else monthly salary will be deducted. 7. Sandwich holidays are calculated and that is normal, but even if you are taking 2 holidays in a week (just assume 1 on Monday and 2nd on Wednesday), weekly salary will be deducted. 8. Their instruments does work properly but the assistance and liberty of using the instrument is not given. At times the lab workers lie about the instrument not working properly so that they don't want to work and you will have to go outside the campus for your work/sample testing which will eventually cause you financial loss. 9. Hell level of politics.

Each of us works for decent & timely pay, so Amity provides you with timely payments. The university focuses on development p& research papers, so if one is keen on writing it surely adds on.

Dislikes

Too much work and not enough staff. Excess of clerical works. Issues created in taking leaves allotted to an individual. HR role is absent and everything is at the discretion of the Head of Institute. Appraisal not happened in 2 years despite fulfilling all necessary criteria's. ZERO work life balance. Will call you for work on weekends and work overtime without any extra pay. Extremely pathetic.
