The current VC Prof. D. Shivalingaiah’s tenure is ending on Mar.10. In the light of this, Governor’s Special Secretary B.R. Ramesh has invited applications on Feb.5.

According to University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines and KSOU Act 1992, the applicant should be a Professor for a minimum period of ten years or served in an equivalent post.

It may be mentioned here that Prof. Shivalingaiah was expecting his tenure to be extended as done earlier during the tenures of VCs Prof. K. Sudha Rao and Prof. K.S. Rangappa.

However, since the Governor’s Secretariat has called for application for the post of new VC, the KSOU sources say his term may not be extended.
