Selected candidates will be expected to join the position as soon as possible since their teaching/research/academic obligations will

IV. Salary, Benefits and Incentives:

35,000 for Associate Professor, and US$ 15,000 to 25,000 for Assistant Professor. Initial salary in the prescribed range will be fixed, on
case to case basis, cumulatively on the strength of academic record, experience and performance history.

c. Once SAUs own campus is built on the 100 acre plot in South Delhi (expected in 2016), on-campus unfurnished residential
accommodation will be provided to all faculty members on payment of a nominal license fee. Faculty members not availing of the
campus accommodation or during the period before the campus is ready will be paid 25% of their basic salary as House Rent
Allowance (HRA).

d. A Dearness Allowance (DA) to neutralize the inflation will be added to the basic salary twice a year at the rate announced by the
Government of India for its employees. At present, 52% DA is added to the basic salary. Additional DA will become applicable on first

purchasing
power

is
about
2.4
