The Tamil Nadu government, through a series of notifications dated May 13, 2025, has extended the time limit for the search committees to chose Vice-Chancellors to four State universities to August 13, 2025.

It has also made amendments to the original notifications for the search committees, omitting the provisions where the committees submit their recommendations to the Governor-Chancellor. Instead, the search committees for Anna University, Madurai Kamaraj University, Annamalai University, and Tamil Nadu Teachers’ Education University will submit their recommendations directly to the government.

Also, in the notifications for the search committees of Anna University and Tamil Nadu Teachers’ Education University, the expression “Chancellor’s Nominee/Convenor” has been amended to read as “Chancellor’s Nominee/Member”.
