2 New Pay Structure

The new pay structure shall involve a pay matrix with an ascending series of
levels and ascending cells in each level. The new pay matrix shall subsume
the pay band and grade pay in one simple chart as given in Annexure I.
The pay matrix shall comprise of two dimensions - a horizontal range
of levels starting from the lowest level in the hierarchy and ascending to the
highest level, with the levels being numbered from 10 to 14 covering the
entire gamut of Teachers/FawIly. Within each level, the salary increases as
one goes down vertically, with each progression of going down represented
by a "Cell". Each Cell within that level represents the steps of annual
financial progression of 3%. On recruitment/promotion/placement, an
employee shall join at a particular level and progress within the level as per
the vertical range. The movement shall be based on annual increments till
the time of his/her next promotion/placement. When the employee receives
a promotion/ placement he/she will progress to the next level in the
horizontal range till it exhausts.
3 Levels and Cells
The method followed by the 7th cpc shall be adopted in the academic pay
structure also, moving from the concept of Pay Band and Academic Grade
Pay to that of Levels and Cells. The changes will appear only due to the
existing difference between the two streams in terms of Academic Grade Pay
vis-a-vis the corresponding Grade Pay. The levels for academic pay shall be
numbered as per the corresponding non academic level. Thus, the levels
are numbered as 10, 11, 12, 13A1 & 14 corresponding to the present AGP
of Rs. 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000 and 10000 respectively.
4 Pay Matrix and Fixation of Revised Pay
For Fixation of pay of an Employee in the Pay Matrix as on 1' January 2016,
the existing pay (Pay in Pay Band plus Academic Grade Pay) in the
pre-revised structure as on 31" December, 2015 shall be multiplied by a
factor of 2.57, rounded off to the nearest Rupee, and the figure so arrived
at, will be located in that level in the Pay Matrix and if such an identical
figure corresponds to any cell in the applicable level of the Pay Matrix, the
same shall be the pay, and if no such cell is available in the applicable
level, the pay shall be fixed at the immediate next higher cell in that
applicable level of the Pay Matrix. if the figure arrived at in this manner is
less than the first cell in that level, then the pay shall be fixed at the first
cell of that level of Pay Matrix.
If more than two stages are bunched together, one additional increment
equal to 3% may be given for every two stages bunched, and pay fixed in
the subsequent cell in the pay matrix.
5 Pay Bands with AGP and IOR (Index of Rationalization)
Based on the above, the various levels of pay with its Academic Grade Pay
(AGP) are as per Annexure I.
6 Entry Pay
The Entry Pay for Academic Pay Structures and Levels shall be as per Table 1.
7 Pay Fixation in case of Direct Recruitment/Promotion/Placement
The pay of employees appointed by direct recruitment on or after 1' day of
January 2016 shall be fixed at the minimum pay or the first cell in the level,
applicable to the post to which such employee is appointed/prombted/
placed. In case of promotion/placement, candidate would be given a
 notional increment in his existing Level of Pay, by moving him/her to the
next higher cell at that level. The pay shown in this cell would now be
located in the new level corresponding to the post to which candidate has
been promoted/placed. If a cell identical with that pay is available in the new
level, that cell shall be the new pay; otherwise the next higher cell at that
level shall be the new pay of the employee. If the pay arrived at in this
manner is less than the first cell in the new level, then the pay shall be fixed
at the first cell of that level.
8 Date of Increment
(I) Annual increment is given in the Pay Matrix at 3%, with each cell being
higher by 3% over the previous cell in the same level, rounded off to
nearest 100. Annual increments to each employee would move up in the
same academic level, with an employee moving from the existing cell in
the academic level to the immediate next cell in the same academic level.
There shall be two dates of increment i.e. l January and l' July of every
year, provided that an employee shall be entitled to only one annual
increment on either one of these two dates depending on the date of
appointment, promotion or grant of financial upgradation.
The increment in respect of an employee appointed or promoted/placed
during the period between the 2 d day of January and 1" day of July
(both inclusive) shall be granted on l day of January and the increment
in respect of an employee appointed or promoted/placed during the
period between the 2 day of July and 1St day of January (both
inclusive) shall be granted on 1 day of July.
9 Annual Process of Promotion/placement
The Government shall ensure that the selection process for
promotion/placement for various positions is carried out annually so as to
maintain required faculty numbers and cadre ratio as per AICTE norms so
that no loss is caused to students.

Candidates who do not fulfill the minimum requirement proposed in the

Regulation, will have to be re-assessed in the next assessment. The date of
