How many times have we seen IIT faculty go on a strike for higher salary all these years, and the world class faculty which these IIT's have are being lost to other institutions where they really get higher pay or they go to other foreign universities where they get a quality life and also a handsome package at these universities.

Hence there is a severe shortage of faculty in IIT's lately, and the IIT's are loosing edge as people who teach the best brains are not best in the first place.

So, how to attract, nurture, & retain world class facility? Do share your views on this...

Opportunites To Grow

idea posted by sachin lakharia lakharia Tech Architect, NexTag Inc
Other way by which IIT can retain & attract world class faculties is by providing them the best opportunities to grow. Faculties who want to explore their potential to the extreme limits should be given a chance to do so.

Agreed, faculties should also be given equal opportunities to what students get. This will encourage the faculties to impart quality education & walk that extra mile with the students.

Provide Lucrative Incentives & Promotions

idea posted by Rajat Malhotra CTO TooStep

Another way of retaining good faculties is by giving them lucrative incentives & promotions. this will boost the morale of the faculties & their performance will keep on improving.

Thus IIT's should skim out a better incentive & promotion plan for faculties.

This will really boost the enthusiasm & confidence in the faculties. They will learn a lot in the exchange program & will be able to deliver more enriched information to the students. Thus this will be win win situation for all.

Stable Faculty With World-Class Compensation

idea posted by Vineet Dwivedi Director, Xora Software

While new faculty are important, a stable faculty is fundamental. We need to retain our best faculty. The key to retention is a combination of a globally competitive compensation and an attractive working environment, which we will do everything in our power to deliver. Despite the external challenges of the global crisis and devaluation, IIT faculty salaries should be increased. Combined with the favorable tax regime. However, this is not enough.  We need to pay significantly more than the best US and European institutions to attract the best faculty to India. So over the next few years, IIT's across India should continue this process and increase average salaries by a minimum of 15% per year. This will mean average increases of over 50%.  

So, the average salaries will be among the highest in the world.  So, no need of going else where for higher pay when one can get that here only, but implementation and effective follow up is what needed for this, if you need to retain the best faculty in IIT's...

Yes, to get world class faculties we need to give them world class compensation. This will keep them motivated to work harder & not to skip their jobs.

Thus we must come up with some good salary structure that appeals to the faculties.

Better Facilities, Motivation, outstanding salary package and Recognition

idea posted by Suresh Kandulapati Asst. Professor, Padmasri Dr. B. V. Raju Institute of Technology
In my point view, world class faculties can be attracted by better facilities (infrastructure, providing resources for job performance, welfare), Motivation (involve them in the process of academic decision making, to conduct research work), Recognition (when they have done very good job whether it is small or big, award/reward to the better performance) and implement latest pay scale. Then, world class faculty can be attracted, nurtured and retained.
