Health ministerMangal Pandey said a full-fledged medical university will start functioning from the next academic session in Bihar.
Pandey told this newspaper that the state cabinet has already sanctioned the posts of vice-chancellor (VC),pro-VC, registrar, examination controller, and other officials along with those of secretarial staff for the university. The process of their appointment will be initiated by the government soon, he said.
In a distinct departure from the conventional universities of the state, the VC and pro-VC of this medical university would not be appointed by the governor-cum-chancellor but by the itself. The government is likely to constitute a search committee to recommend suitable people for appointment to the top executive posts of the university.
