NLU Delhi former registrar and Prof GS Bajpai, who had retired in January 2021 will take over as vice-chancellor (VC) of RGNUL Patiala this Friday (21 May), according to Bar & Bench.

He told Bar & Bench:

RGNUL is already a fast-growing institution. My priority is too see that it is made into a research intensive institution, as my forte is research.

I will also aim to achieve excellence in faculty development and student initiatives.

We have plans that we will implement to make RGNUL one of the best institutions in the country.

The position at RGNUL had been vacant since the departure of former VC Prof Paramjit Jaswal, who had joined SRM University Sonepat as VC.
