Financial crises which have lower down the quality of higher education hence; institutions have opted for alternative source of finance. This has given way to introduction of self financing courses in higher educational institutions.

This study aims to study the working conditions of the teachers in self– financing courses in colleges under Gauhati University. A sample of 100 teachers working in the self–financing courses was selected purposively and self–structured questionnaire and interview schedule were were used for the study. The findings of the study highlight that although the teachers are highly qualified yet their appointment is purely temporary in nature. In fact the pay structure is also not satisfactory and the teachers do not avail any specific benefits.
