The guidelines allow direct appointment of industry experts and senior professionals from the public sector.

The current guidelines allow academicians with at least 10 years of experience as professors or in prominent research or academic administrative roles to be eligible for the V-C post. But now, the new norms propose that those with at least 10 years of senior-level experience in industry, public administration, public policy, or even PSUs can also be considered for the job.

The draft guidelines, released on Monday by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, also seek to amend norms for hiring faculty in varsities.
