The Chancellor’s Representative, who is an Assistant Secretary at the headquarters of RKMM, is to be the second-in-command to assist the Chancellor in the administration of the University. The Vice Chancellor, who will usually be a qualified and competent monk of the Ramakrishna Order, appointed according to University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines, will be in charge of the day-to-day administration of the University and all its academic programmes and activities. Administrative Heads of the various off-campus faculty centres of the university, who will be the ex-officio heads of the branch-centres in which the faculty centres are located, will be in charge of the day-to-day administration of the respective faculty centres.
