Manipal University Academic Counsellor salaries in New Delhi

You will get holidays

Dislikes

There is nothing to like. Salary is extremely poor. You won't get promoted even if you deserve. CSC faculties from the worst possible colleges get through over here and get the highest salary. But faculties from best colleges from other disciplines will get worst possible salaries because there is a caste like system operating in this college which is highly discriminatory in nature.

Dislikes

Salary is Very Low as compared to Universities of this Level, Some Leadership positions (HoDs/Directors) are held by very incompetent people whose only qualification is X number of years served in Manipal. They make the environment very bad and demotivates good talent.

On time salary. Everything is structured and planned.

Dislikes

Too much rigidity. Too much paperwork. No scope to innovate. Too much coddling of students. I felt more like a clerk doing data entry late into the night, than a professor. And sometimes I felt I was hired to be a counsellor rather than to teach in class. The students are seen as customers who are to be made happy regardless of their performance in class. Their pay structure depends on how many guests you called for lectures, how many papers you published, how many FDPs you organized etc. etc. So obviously no focus on quality, only on quantity. Senior faculties will hound you to support them in these activities. Also, a lot of mind numbing committee work is dumped on junior faculties.

It is just fine to work.

Dislikes

Salary Structure is very bad. It is worst than 5th pay commission. They don't give a 7th pay scale. They say it is a corporate structure and scaling but it is very pathetic and bad. They do not pay according to their policies. Case to Case variation is seen.
