Respected Sir


We are working as Assistant Professors on contract basis at National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra. Though we are in this noble cause of teaching and providing technical education to students for last many years, NIT is completely ignoring our career growth. Copy of appointment letters of few of the faculty members is attached here for your quick reference.


We are working on a consolidated salary of Rs. 30,000 per month. This salary has not been revised since 2011. We have requested to our director here to revise this salary but he has not considered our request. Copies of request letters are attached here. Hon`ble supreme court has also ordered “Equal pay for Equal Work” in its decision dated 26th Oct 2016 in Civil Appeal 213 of 2013(Copy attached). As per this, minimum salary of Assistant Professor at entry level is as mentioned below which is being paid to many teachers here in our departments


Basic 15600+AGP 6000 + DA+ Allowances which is approximately 56000/- under 6th pay commission.


NIT Kurukshetra and many other NITs are violating directions of hon`ble supreme court of equal pay for equal work. Even to harass us, they have increased the salary of freshly recruited teachers in 2017 and ignored our request. Copy of their advertisement 2017 has been attached here. These fresh Assistant Professors are working with us in our department, taking equal load and all responsibilities. But they are getting 40,000 or 50980per month while our (experienced teachers’)salary is still 30,000 per month.

We approximately 100 teachers in NIT Kurukshetra are grieved by this action. Now only hope left is media to get the right of equal salary for us. You are requested to get the orders implemented at the earliest and get us salary equal to the permanent Assistant Professors.



Waiting for your kind response


With warm regards
