Non-government colleges

One such head of account from which principals and vice-principals draw an unusually heavy amount of money is the public examinations fund . It is relevant to mention here that principals are the centre-in-charge of all the public examinations held in a college by virtue of their position. An examination sub-committee is constituted for each public examination and the job of conducting the examination is mainly done by this sub-committee from the beginning to the end of the examination routine . Principals and vice-principals have practically got no specific function during the whole period of examination excepting putting some signatures on some routine documents which require a few hours only. Major functions of these examinations are performed by the examination sub-committee and the general teachers; but while distributing the remuneration the principals are found to receive an amount much higher than the amount received by a member of the sub-committee and the general teachers.

It is also pertinent to note here that in an academic session as many as twenty public examinations, both internal and external, are held in a college centre, and there is a slim chance for a teacher to become a member of the examination sub-committee more than once a year. So there is no justification behind the principals and vice-principals getting the lion's share of the remuneration since they are entitled to get a share of remuneration / honorarium for all the examinations during an academic session. It is justifiable for them to get far less the amount of remuneration received by the committee members who have to give more time , energy and labour for conducting the examinations smoothly. The principals and vice-principals who have got to be paid some money for each and every examination should remain satisfied with a token amount in each bill which ultimately builds up a big amount accumulated during the whole academic year. It is not reasonable that in each and every examination bill the shares of the principals and vice-principals should always be higher than all others involved in conducting public examinations only on the pretext of ex-officio positions which have no precedence in any institution in this country.
