The NUJS executive council is likely to appoint one of the three potential candidates on 19 November, according to authoritative sources close to the process: Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) professor NS Gopalakrishnan, NUJS professor Manoj Kumar Sinha and ex-Symbiosis International University vice chancellor and KIIT director Mrinal Shankar Raste.
NUJS’ current vice chancellor Singh is set to retire on 30 November and had told Legally India that he would prefer an academically minded successor, rather than purely an administrator.
The candidates
Gopalakrishnan is currently the Human Resources Development (HRD) ministry chair on intellectual property rights and professor at CUSAT, as well as the director of CUSAT-based Inter University Centre for Intellectual Property Rights Studies (IUCIPRS).
MS Raste has been the vice chancellor of Symbiosis International University, principal of Symbiosis Law College and director of KIIT. Raste is currently associated with the Pune-based Maharashtra Institute of Technology (MIT) in an advisory capacity. He has also been involved with various International organisations such as the Institute of Criminology and the World Jurist Association.
MK Sinha currently serves as professor at NUJS teaching International Criminal Law. He specialises in international law and human rights and in the past 14 years has also taught at various Indian and foreign academic institutes such as Banaras Hindu University (BHU) and Sweden’s Lund University. Aged 41, Sinha would be the youngest vice chancellor of NUJS to date.
It is understood that a Nalsar Hyderabad professor was also in the running but ultimately withdrew from the process.
The executive council in its 19 November meeting will also decide conditions of employment, including the salary, other terms and the date the tenure would start. It is understood that the executive council also has the power to reopen the search.

Fake!!!
Prof. Ved Kumari, Prof. MC Sharma, Prof. Rajiv Khanna, Prof. SC Raina could have been considered....Prof. Ved Kumari, a student of MP Singh who was heading Delhi Judicial Academy could be most apt choice!
Else. Father Davis for VC.
She would not leave her CDS in Nalsar. Also she is more or less certain to become NALSAR VC when the current incumbent leaves. Also her love for NALSAR is too much for her to quit which she told us personally.

Rumour has it, her candidature wasn't supported by the team which drew up the final short-list.
It was Amita Dhanda

That is just a rumour. Amita Dhanda declined when asked. It is true that she will not leave CDS and NALSAR easily. If she was ever in the running, it was without her consent/ co-operation.

This is on the basis of a one to one talk that I had with her in NALSAR. She did not want to be NUJS VC. The only thing I see her ever agreeing to is NALSAR VCship so that she can continue with her work.

East and West MKS is the Best.
He was nominated by some students. But he insisted that he was too young to be tied down by an administrative job
P.s: Not endorsing anyone
Prof. Bikramjit De should also be nominated. He has quite an impressive academic bent and is super-accomplished. More so, he is far better than MKS intellectually and administratively.
Baaler talent
NUJS ekta chodon! Baal ranking shaala! Udgandu college!!!!

Hope you do wash something else in the morning
We did not name the Nalsar professor because I believe they were approached but ultimately declined to run for the post.
At the end of the day, anyone can be nominated or approached for the post of NUJS VC, so it seems like an honour more than anything else.
As an aside, from a career perspective, I wouldn't think it unlikely that a senior Nalsar professor would take up VC-ship at another law school, surely? Technically, being VC of any institution seems like a prestigious promotion, in effect.
Anyway, in this case no one from Nalsar actually ran for the post at the end so mentioning the name was unnecessary.
I hope this clarifies things - we had no intentions of starting a rumour mill and regret if this was unnecessarily started.
Best wishes

From a career perspective obviously it would be unlikely! I mean it's NUJS for God's sake.
Yeah ranked in your own mind. Anyway I was just having fun with some troll posts. Seems to bother you guys too much.
P.S. I am not from NALSAR. HAHA!
To draw an analogy, a lot of kids from the pre-CLAT NALSAR batches opt for litigation, primarily because they're related to judges or senior counsels. It is not a reflection of the institute's ethos.
If anyone has a reasonable and fair criticism to make, do so. Troll buggers, stay out.
ORP is doing substantial work.
Lawctopus is doing substantial work.
Ramanuj who started ipleaders comes from a humble background too
HaHa.
a. Ishwara Bhat
b. NSG
c. Vibhute
