The Vice-Chancellor is the academic as well as administrative head of a University or deemed University. The acts and statutes of almost all the universities in the country are silent on the eligibility criteria. What most academic institutes follow, are the University Grants Commission (UGC) regulations on minimum qualifications for appointment of teachers and other academic staff in universities and colleges and measures for the maintenance of standards in higher education in 2010. As per the UGC guidelines and recent open advertisements for VC, VC is expected to be: (a) A visionary with proven leadership qualities, administrative capabilities as well as teaching and research credentials. (b) Having outstanding academic record throughout and a minimum of 10-year experience as a Professor in a University system or in an equivalent position in a reputed research and/or academic administrative organization. To be a Professor, candidate is required to be a Ph.D from a recognized university. (c) Not more than 65 years of age as on the closing date of receipt of applications of this advertisement.
