State-run universities are finding it difficult to fill up the Vice-Chancellor’s post owing to applications from ineligible persons, Higher Education Minister M.C. Sudhakar said on Monday.

When BJP member H.S. Gopinath drew the attention of the Minister to the V-C post at Gangubai Hangal Music and Performing Arts University being vacant, the Minister said that though application has been invited, the post could not be filled owing to applicants being unable to meet the eligibility criteria.
