Panjab University Chandigarh is looking for a new Vice-Chancellor.
— UPDATED —
Chandigarh, India, March 20, 2023 — Panjab University, Chandigarh, listed by UGC as a “State University” under “Chandigarh,” is seeking a new Vice-Chancellor. So, on February 25, 2023, it released an “Internal Advertisement” for that post per the instructions from the Secretariat of the Vice-President of India, who is the University’s Chancellor.
Its previous Vice-Chancellor had resigned after several authentic reports of diverse underhand malpractices thriving in the academic institution appeared in the media and severely tarnished its image. Earlier, the prominent members of its Governing Body (Senate), the Panjab University Teachers’ Association, and a Students Organization had filed separate complaints with the Higher Authorities, including the Local Police, Central Vigilance Commission, and the Chancellor’s Office in New Delhi.
Additional Particulars:
Panjab University, Chandigarh, is an offshoot of Punjab University, Lahore, Pakistan.
It does not have NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) Accreditation.
It survives on an Annual Grant from the University Grants Commission.
A lady, hailed as its First Officiating Woman Vice-Chancellor, is successfully leading it, making its fans and well-wishers look forward to and believe that the coming Vice-Chancellor, too, would be a Woman!
Panjab University has not designated a regular Registrar since 2018. The previous VC (the one who resigned) had appointed the current Registrar on an ad-hoc basis. The institution is yet to complete the Registrar’s selection initiated through an Internal Advertisement issued last year.
