For business development roles the advertisement hits at the potential to generate wealth exceeding Rs 1,000 crore over a span of 7 to 10 years.

Several FIITJEE centres across various cities, including Delhi-NCR (Noida and Ghaziabad), Meerut, Varanasi, Lucknow, Pune, and Kolkata, have closed down in the past week. The closures are attributed to mass faculty resignations, which were a result of ongoing tension between the faculty and management.

This left students stranded during a critical time in their preparation for entrance exams. This has led to several groups of parents, whose children were enrolled at the affected centres, filing FIRs with local police.

Amid the growing unrest, a job advertisement released by FIITJEE in January 2023 has resurfaced. The ad, which appeared on LinkedIn, sought faculty and business development professionals to support the institute’s IIT JEE preparation programs and hints at staffing issues that may have contributed to the recent problems.

The job advertisement from FIITJEE has gone viral due to its bold claim that teachers at the institute could earn as much as Rs 100 crore in 7 years.

“If you can be an Extraordinary & Transformative Teacher then we assure you of at least 100 Crores of wealth creation in 7 years time,” stated the old advertisement.

The advertisement called for highly qualified individuals, particularly graduates from prestigious institutions like IITs, NITs, IIMs, and other renowned universities across India.

The advertisement outlined various salary levels across different classes and subjects. For teachers handling Classes 6-8 (including subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Biology, and Olympiads), salaries range from Rs 0.10 crore for a “Good Teacher” to Rs 0.55 crore for an “Extraordinary/Transformative Teacher.” For Classes 9-10 (covering subjects such as Maths Olympiad, Science Olympiad, and JEE preparation), salaries range from Rs 0.15 crore to Rs 0.75 crore. For senior classes (11-12 and beyond), teachers could earn between Rs 0.30 crore and Rs 2.50 crore, depending on their performance.

Additionally, for business development roles the advertisement hits at the potential to generate wealth exceeding Rs 1,000 crore over a span of 7 to 10 years, provided candidates surpass the founders’ achievements.
