Except for the fact that VCV is excellent at PR, there are no significant differences between SP Singh's style of administration and VCV's. Even SP Singh enjoyed the same level of acceptance as VCV does today, although it grew progressively worse over time. Furthermore, even inaction will initially be praised in light of the notorious administration of the previous VC

A number of Vice Chancellors did good for their NLUs but maintained a low profile of themselves. They are Prof AK Kaul (NLU Jodhpur); Prof SK Bhatnagar (NLU Lucknow); Prof Kamla Sankaran (NLU Tamilnadu); Prof Rose Varghese (NLU Kerala); Prof Gurjeet Singh (NLU Patiala) to name a few. A few more may be recalled and included.

Why they may not be counted among one of the best ones.... or atleast better ones?? They maintained good rapport with their respective faculty and students alike. All of these seem to have avoided self-glorification and undesirable hyped publicity.

Agree that VCV is only a paper tiger who failed everywhere. At NLSIU Prof Menon made him to resign. At NALSAR FM made him to resign. @IITKGP he was made to resign for administrative irregularity and at Bennet Law School was asked to leave after three years of underperformance

Popular academicians do not necessarily convert to good administrators. By that Logic PPS, who is an authority in a family law should have been a great VC or Saurav Ganguly should have been best BCCI president. Administration is different ball game and NKC has succeeded in that.

Prof. NKC, VC of NUJS is another person who is doing everything possible for the betterment of college. NIRF rank of NUJS has improved under him and the college could have been at no. 3 this time, had it scored equally good in 'Perception' Parameter. New courses have started with focus on forensics and criminology, for which the college will reap benefits in a few years from now. New Research Centres have been set up and several esteemed guests are being called to deliver lectures on a regular basis. Placements wise, college has been doing really well, credit of which goes to its students. Past couple of years have been several good developments, with infrastructure being the only area of concern. However, to that effect, construction has recently begun and within 2 years, the issue will be resolved.

Sudhir Krishnaswamy has become the best VC - Here’s why

Appointing a SRC with that good of professors , man it’s so cool plus he now has the blessings of CJI. No one can stop NLS now.

“Now I am become death , the destroyer of the world” - NLS folks to their haters ❤️

Rajkumar on this list! No chance.

That man only takes US trips and doesn’t care about what is going on in his college. Arbitrary academic policies, unsanitable living conditions for students (with basic facilities like clean drinking water not being provided), inefficient and rude/egoistic exam office, rampant physical and sexual violence on campus (if you have contacts, you can get away), no common spaces for students, unaccountable registrar, overcrowded campus with students beyond capacity, regular flouting of regulatory/government norms, etc etc

When you have a man heading this, i leave it to your judgement if he should really feature on that list.

The condition of academics is pathetic at GNLU under Shanthkumar. Most of the professors are bad and the ones who are good have started giving up on the pathetic affairs of the administration and academics. Students don't want to study at all in the junior batches. The entire campus is a mess with students only trying to have fun and mock at important academic and placement related things. Little do they know what is best for them.

The VC is just sitting and looking at the pathetic affairs. Meritorious students who are trying to study hard are being demotivated since all the students end up getting average marks whereby merit is just lost and trust in the institution is gradually vanishing.

Raj Kumar didn't apply for a position at OP Jindal Global University. He envisioned a university of this scale and convinced Naveen Jindal to invest 500 crore in the first tranch and later fund expansion as well. How many VCs in this list can even dream something like this and make it happen? The only other person who would be on a similar standing is Madhava Menon.

Raj Kumar was given an unlimited budget, complete authority that can only be had in a private university and similar advantages. No other VC got such breaks. And VCV doesn't fit in this list at all. He's a paper tiger. Haven't done well in any institution that he's been a part of.
