Mysuru: It is nearly four months since the then Vice-Chancellor of the University of Mysore (UoM) Prof. K.S. Rangappa demitted office (Jan. 10, 2017). However, the situation in the hundred-year-old University has come to such a pass that it has forced the State Government, which was keeping mum, to take action and as a result the Search Committee headed by former Vice-Chancellor of Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) Prof. H. P. Kincha is meeting on May 12 in Bengaluru to select a person for the new VC’s post.
According to sources, there are nearly 150 aspirants for the post of the Vice-Chancellor and out of them ten are likely to be shortlisted on May 12 during the first meeting and out of that three or four will be picked before the final name is chosen. However, the indications are that the appointment will take a little longer than is anticipated, the sources added.
