Goa University likely to appoint full-time registrar by month-end

PANAJI: Goa University is likely to appoint a full-time registrar by the end of this month, more than a year after earlier registrar YV Reddy resigned from the post on September 16, 2020, citing health reasons. Radhika Nayak has been acting as the registrar as a stop-gap arrangement ever since. Last month, GU called for applications for the post of registrar and received 10 applications.

Among the applicants are academics from within the university and principals and lecturers from affiliated colleges, according to sources. As the tenure of the registrar is five years, those with five or more years left before attaining the age of 60 will get preference for appointment to the post.

“The registrar shall be appointed on the basis of direct recruitment for a tenure of five years, which may be renewed at the end of each of the term of five years, till the age of 60 years,” the Goa University statute states.

Those in the know state that the interviews are likely to be held shortly and a full-time registrar will be appointed before the end of this month.

Goa University had received a flood of as many as 267 applications earlier this year for the post of the vice-chancellor, and finally a GU dean Harilal B Menon was appointed as the new VC last month.

However, the post of registrar received only 10 applications as domicile certificate is a mandatory requirement to apply for the post, unlike for the post of VC, where those based across India could apply.

The post of registrar fell vacant in mid-September last year after Reddy resigned with just seven months left for his five-year term to end.

The new registrar is chosen based on the recommendation of a selection committee.This committee comprises of four members and is chaired by the vice-chancellor.
