The minister asked the faculty to resolve certain
other demands by meeting their directors. The IIT faculty is
meeting the IIT directors tomorrow to take up those issues.

The pay structure norms say that ten years of
experience, including four years at associate professor level,
is required for promotion to professor.

The faculty has been demanding flexibility in that
norms so that even if a teacher has just one or two years of
experience at associate professor level he can be promoted to
the upper level.

The government norms say that assistant professors
with three years experience are entitled for Pay Band-4.
However, many teachers join this position with more than three
years of experience. The faculty is demanding extra incentives
for them.

"We will discuss with the directors about how they are
going to implement the relaxations as assured by the
ministers. We will raise the other issues, including
flexibility in promotion. The federation will meet again and
take the final decision on its agitational plan," Thenmozhi
said.

Sibal said he has convened the meeting of IIT Council
on October 19 where the futuristic vision of the IITs would be
discussed. PTI BKM
