The State government had in January invited applications to appoint VC positions in 10 universities, but the process hit a roadblock due to the model code of conduct for Parliament elections in force in the State.

Following a nod from the Election Commission of India, the government constituted university-wise search committees comprising one each nominee of the university’s EC, UGC, and State government.

However, it is learned that the government has yet to send order copies to committee members informing them of their inclusion in the search panels.

Due to the delay in the selection process, the Education Department proposed either to continue existing VCs until further orders or appoint bureaucrats in charge of VCs to the nine universities. The government is expected to take a call.  (Maxim News)
