Shiv Nadar University Assistant Professor Reviews

Pros

1. Excellent work-life balance 2. 7th Pay salary 3. Modern curriculam

Cons

1. Campus away from city

Pros

Faculty are friendly and welcoming

Cons

More than 30 km away from the city

Pros

There are many pros so to say. Firstly, the research atmosphere the place provides is as per IIT standards. Truly Speaking, this University is much better than many of the newer IIT's. Secondly, you can float something called as CCC course. This course is open to all University students and anyone can credit. Any innovative, thought provoking areas can be modeled as a CCC course. Thirdly, the course load is very flexible as compared to any other Universities.

Cons

The only disadvantage with this place is it's location. It is quite far from Delhi. However, saying that, I must also mention that the campus is more than beautiful. There is no necessity to even go out of campus.

Pros

Professional people around, good campus, good seating spaces/cabins provided to faculties, transport support

Cons

Location, Highly hierarchical - still under the confusion of being led and driven by whom - HCL/Shiv Nadar Foundation??? Pathetic Increments, No appreciation for hard work, teaching load and teaching efforts do not count at all(!!!!), unnecessary pressure of research outputs without them providing any financial/infrastructure help & support. Disparity in the salary of many employees. Faculties (mostly from the School of Natural Science and School of Humanities and Social Sciences) who have had absolutely no work for the past three years (except doing politics) are given encouragement and good increments. A very strong Bengali lobby has been created in both these schools, Directors of these schools have been recruiting only Bengali candidates!! Why has the management turned a blind eye towards this fact is beyond comprehension!!

Pros

1. Research environment and management's support in pursuing research 2. Flexible work timings 3. Academic freedom 4. Beautiful campus with good facilities 5. Great work space with all the facilities to work 6. Decent salary

Cons

1. No policies for promotion, earned leave, etc. 2. Too many decision makers 3. Location 4. Administration interference, instead of faculty control as happens in other academic institutions 5. Too much freedom to students, sometime academics takes a backseat

Pros

Salary is better than most of the educational institutes in India. Teaching load is also less in the school of natural sciences.

Cons

It follows HCL rules and is heavily hierarchal for an educational institutes. Things are changing for good but the process is very slow.

Pros

Flexible Work Timings. Great Campus Housing Facilities Good to work for few years and get experience

Cons

Management keeps changing rules and comes up with new ideas.
