KUian, Thanks for salary break down. I would appreciate if you break down the job responsibilities also. By this you have highlighted another anomaly in KU structure. I guess that everybody would agree if wages comply with working hours. KU is teaching university and people need to be paid for teaching students with dedication. This way teaching assistant should have been paid more. Oh, my god, I forgot to mention that teaching assistant in KU is not a teaching assistant, he is a teacher but the post was created to satisfy the ego of sons of registrar when some faculties of same rank told him on face that they were no different from other teachers. Since the son of registrar is in habit of taking everything personally, he was offended by this remark also and then kept on badgering his all powerful dad Sitaram to create this artificial designation. It again highlights how hapazardly KU has put the system upside down. Whatever may be the case, if we are to believe in genesis of this "creation of teaching assistant" in KU official hierarchy, we can guess what a NEPOTISM is present in KU.
