Universities require a search committee that comprises of a state government nominee, university nominee and UGC nominee. Government sources reveal that since UGC has recently completed the nomination of candidates, the way has been cleared for the formation of search committees. Out of the nine state run universities, only two are having permanent vice chancellors. Meanwhile, staff of the universities across the State continues to cry foul over the malfunctioning of varsities due to lack of vice chancellors for a long time.

As per the standard procedure, nomination is done at the first stage and then search committees are formed. Later, a notification is released by the universities. The search committees then scrutinise the applications and suggest three names to the State government. The search committee of each university suggests three names that are sent to the Governor for final approval.
