It is Shocking, Humiliating, Extreme exploitation, Inhuman, Disgusting treatment in terms of WAGES given to the Faculty hired by MOST Private Engineering Colleges & Universities across India.

It is seen & observed that in most Private Institutions faculty members even after Post Graduate degree in engineering are paid around 15000~18000 /pm all inclusive. Since the job is not permanent therefore it is as good as like a Daily Wage Worker only. The Minimum Wage Act, as on 1st April, 2017, guarantees the following daily rates:

Comparison of Labour and University Faculty (Assistant Professor, under employed) in Engineering:

These two charts clearly show that equivalent protection is needed even to the so called Professionally Qualified teachers working in most Private Universities and Engineering Colleges. I request the Government of India and the Ministry of Human Resource & Development to bring in “The Minimum Wages / Salary Act for faculty working at various levels with these Private Universities & Engineering Colleges” at the earliest to save the vast chunk of population which is forced to work under the Shocking, Humiliating, Inhuman, Extreme exploitative and Disgusting working environment.

Most Private Universities are responsible for murdering engineering education in the country and responsible for destroying career of youth. They produce mainly the 'Paper Degree Holding Engineers' and not the 'Professionally Qualified Engineers'. The large number of Professionally Qualified youth is fast losing the mental balance and are becoming a patient of ‘Mental Depression’. Since these Institutions have come into being with the blessings of UGC / AICTE, therefore the onus of doing justice to this exploited community is on the Government of India. GOI must work very fast else the Frankenstein will be out of the bottle soon.
