Three more varsities in Odisha to get new VCs

Bhubaneswar: After appointment of new Vice Chancellors in nine universities in Odisha, three more state-run varsities will get new VCs soon.

Three separate notifications have been released by the State Higher Education Department in this regard for appointment of VCs for the Kalahandi University, Rajendra University and Madhusudan Law University.

The applicants for the prestigious post can apply by February 25.

The applications have been invited from eligible candidates (academicians of repute with adequate administrative experience) below 63 years of age for the position of VCs of above three universities in Odisha.

The shortlisted candidates will be called for interview, which will be held in physical mode in Bhubaneswar by a three-member Search Committee. After interview, the panel will recommend candidates to the Governor, who is the Chancellor of all universities, for final selection and appointment as the VCs.

Recently, three new VCs have been appointed for the Sambalpur University, Ravenshaw University and Odisha State Open University. In November last year, the Governor had appointed new VCs for Utkal University, Ramadevi Women’s University, Fakir Mohan University, Gangadhar Meher University, North Odisha University and Khallikote University.
