With 3 years of (total) experience, you get 8000 AGP. As for basic, the numbers vary across IITs. Is it 27600 including the AGP or 27600 + AGP? The terminology per pay commission is pay in the pay band + grade pay = basic, but common usage is to call pay in the pay band as basic.iitmsriramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16063826764366606345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-9619274119861648912012-02-11T00:12:47.957+05:302012-02-11T00:12:47.957+05:30Dear Prof Sriram and Prof Giri,

The basic administrative proble...@frustrated soul,<br /><br />The basic administrative problem is that the Institution has to create a zero salary post for a faculty member who wants to join and avail these fellowships. The Bhatnagar, JC Bose and similar existing fellowships offer supplementary pay over the regular salary. The new breed DST / DBT fellowships (Ramanujan, Ramalingaswami and INSPIRE faculty scheme) are not supplementary but substitutes - it is either the fellowship or the salary from the Institution. Often, the fellowship is going to be more, so the fellow candidate will want to use that - and hence the zero salary post I indicate above. Many institutions have not set up the appropriate mechanisms to handle these. IITM is just doing this (after we got the first request for an INSPIRE hosting). There will be some issues which may take some time to sort out. Health insurance, for example. But it is mostly workable. DST did write to the IITs (and others) in December, giving details of the INSPIRE fellowship and the list of selected fellows with an invitation to work with DST to make these fellowships work, but many Institutions may not be ready yet.iitmsriramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16063826764366606345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-58371166191396596662012-02-10T22:22:36.892+05:302012-02-10T22:22:36.892+05:30Hi All,
I requested an IIT to forward my nominat...Hi All,<br /><br />I requested an IIT to forward my nomination for Ramanujan fellowship. I have also accepted the offer from this IIT and am planning to join soon. Now, the IIT administration feels that either I should accept this fellowship (on being selected) or the AP position at time of joining. In other words, I can only have a visiting appointment for the duration of fellowship and loose my current offer. As I understand, the main intention of the fellowship is to attract overseas talent. I guess, the decision of administration could have come from the wording that is not clear in the call for fellowship. The exact wordings are “The candidate has to opt for either this fellowship or his present position/fellowship, if any “<br /><br />With due to respect to administration, I feel that rather than looking at the win-win situation for both the institute and the candidate, this approach seems to be very discouraging. From the previous posts, I understand that IISc forwards the nomination for the Ramanujan fellowship only after the candidate is offered AP position. I guess there are several faculty members who have availed this fellowship who are also permanent faculty at some IITs and I personally know couple of them. I understand that each IIT can have its own policy for nomination. However, I am not clear what is the rational behind imposing these conditions. <br /><br />Now my questions are: <br /><br />• What are the difficulties in handling such type of cases? After all, IITs are autonomous institutions, correct?<br />• What if the candidate joins as a visiting position as a Ramanujan/ inspire fellow and performs well. If the institute wants to hire him as a permanent faculty, does he need to stop all his research and decline the fellowship in the middle to accept the AP position? <br />• There are professors who avail other fellowships. How does this differ from Ramanujan fellowship? <br /><br />I just wanted to get clarification and opinions from the experienced people like Prof. Madras and Prof. Sriram and other previous applicants. I would appreciate if you can contribute for the benefit of prospective candidates.<br /><br />Best<br />Frustrated soulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-37825985954514858562012-02-10T19:12:57.518+05:302012-02-10T19:12:57.518+05:30Congrats Ankur!

I am not sure of the rule, but didn't bother about it since I got selected for Ramanujan fellowship. Ankur, why don't you try that out so that your salary (once you start receiving it, say after 6-8 months of selection) would be more than the current offer anyway?

However there seems to be some error in the salary number quoted in the offer letter. I have one year of experience already. The letter states that it is a contract position for 2 years, but I have been offered a basic of 27,600 and an AGP of 6,000. I think the AGP figure corresponds to a candidate with no experience and I suspect. I have written to the HoD and he promptly wrote back saying he will get back to me.<br /><br />I would appreciate if any one on this forum can provide me with some inputs on my situation. Particularly, would any one know if the basic of 27600 is correct?Ankur Kulkarnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411971742511540520noreply@blogger.com
