Dear Stephan,
As far as I know, employment in educational institutions has not been brought under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 so far. However, it should be borne in mind while fixing wages for general categories of workers like drivers, watchmen, and helpers in such employments not yet brought under the purview of the MW Act, 1948, that the wages do not fall below the National Floor Level Minimum Wages fixed by the Central Government, which stands at Rs. 160-00 per day w.e.f. 01-07-2015.
