New Delhi: After a two-month long tussle over pay scales and autonomy issues for the IITs, the Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal will chair the first IIT council meeting on Monday.
The council, the highest governing body for the IITs comprising around 30 members, is expected to frame a multi-pronged policy, including introducing scholarships and reducing of fee, to attract more foreign students at post-graduate level in the institutes.
Importantly, the council is likely to ratify the revised pay structure of the IIT faculty. The new pay structure had attracted criticism from the faculty that went on a hunger strike on September 25.
