UGC calls for VC selection system review

'The existing system of the HRD minister chairing the panel for selecting IIT directors was a bad practice'

New Delhi:
A panel of educationists set up by the University Grants Commission has found flaws with the existing system of selecting academic heads of institutes of higher learning and called for a review, implying that politicians should not be part of the process.

The recommendations came in a report the four-member committee, headed by Prof. P. Balaram, former director, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, submitted to the higher education regulator last month on “Improving Quality of Research”.

“The UGC/ministry of human resource development as well as state governments must seriously review the mechanism by which vice-chancellors are appointed. Good academic leadership is essential for improving the research culture, including the quality of PhD/MPhil degrees,” the committee said.

The UGC is studying the report.
