My uncle is a faculty member at IIIT Hyderabad. He resides at the IIIT Hyderabad campus itself and his office is a 7 minute walk from his residence. This is a breakdown of his activities-

  1. He reaches the office at around 10 am if he has no class for the day. On days that he does have a class, he prefers to prepare for it at home, in a distraction free setup. Faculty members usually handle 1 to 2 courses per semester, and rarely more than 3 courses per year.
  2. He prepares for around 5 hours for a 1.5 hour lecture, unless he has taught the topic twice before. He has to teach for 2 days a week.
  3. Apart from this, he holds meetings with his students. He holds typically 1-2 meetings that are 1.5 hours long, mostly on non-teaching days.
  4. On an average, half an hour of his day goes into faculty meetings, committee meetings, etc.
  5. Another half an hour (on an average) a day is spent in preparing quizzes and problem sets for his classes.
  6. Occasionally, proposal writing and paper evaluation demand his attention.
  7. He devotes an average of 2 hours a day to work on his research problems and on his students’ problems. On days that he is free from other commitments, he devotes more time to problem solving work.
  8. Other than these 6-7 hours of work a day, he spends the rest of his time in leisure and fun activities and exercising.
  9. It's a general breakdown of his activities rather than a strict daily schedule. Faculty members have a weekly rather than a daily schedule.

Thus, as a faculty member at IIIT Hyderabad, my uncle’s days are quite busy and productive.
