Assam University Project Coordinator salaries in India

...s very less work-related stress-weekdays are usually a 10am to 4:30 PM schedule. Salary is always on time, so are the increments. Promotions are not usually delayed, official work is smooth. A good mix of people from across the country work here.

Dislikes

Absence of work culture and ethics by some faculty - some of them rarely go to the class. Students mostly are somewhat mediocre. Not a very good place to work if you're looking for good networking with colleagues if other universities. Located at a remote place, difficult to stay at the campus residences because of lack of facilities. There is no good cafeteria at the university, no transportation facilities within the campus, barring a few auto rickshaws. Office politics is rampant-there is a clear Bengali vs Non-Bengali distinction in everything. And lastly, favoritism by senior colleagues is a big turn off.

Absolutely nothing. The University is a Central University with ample Government funding. And yet the permanent position holders including the faculty members and staff are simply leading a lavish life on a fat government salary without doing any worthwhile work.

Dislikes

Everything. There is no facility for doing proper research. The work culture is toxic. It's a University cum Research Institution without adequate equipment and infrastructural facilities. While serving as JRF in the University, I was made to do things as mundane as household chores of the faculty member under whom I was employed. There is scope of personal and professional growth in the University. And it's evident from the downfall in NIRF ranking of the University from 26 to below 150 at present. I would suggest students and aspiring Ph.D. candidates to keep away from Assam University, it will ruin your career.
