A few weeks ago, advertisements for posts of VCs of Rajasthan Technical University, Vardhaman Mahaveer Open University and Agriculture University Jodhpur were invited. In the next five months, 10 government universities will need new VCs.
Retired professor of Rajasthan University professor Naveen Mathur said, “We must make the system transparent. The documents of the candidates should be made public as we have witnessed that many vice-chancellors submitted fake documents. The recommendations sent with the name of candidates should also be made public to avoid any form of corruption as it will help our academic institutes.”
For the new vice-chancellor, a search committee consisting of members of the governor house, state government, UGC and university syndicate members are included. After the first meeting of the search committee, applications of 4-5 candidates are sent to the governor house.
The final name is decided by governor along with the recommendations of the state government.
