“Assistant and associate professors of 329 state universities and 12,912 colleges will get the benefit of the 7th Pay Commission from January 1, 2016. Teachers of all centrally funded deemed universities and 43 central universities will be benefited,” Union HRD minister Prakash Javadekar told a press conference, following a meeting of the Union cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “This amounts to an increase of around 22-28 per cent,” he added.
