The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and India is no exception. Male deputy controller of examinationses in India earn an average of 409,000 INR a year, while female deputy controller of examinationses earn around 357,700 INR.

Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.
