Governor may allow Prof Sabu Thomas to continue as MG University VC

governor-mg-university

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: If the reports are to be believed, the Governor may extend the term of Prof. Sabu Thomas as the vice chancellor of MG University. Prof. Sabu Thomas was heading towards retirement on May 27th. The NAAC accreditation in the varsity is due for next month, and if there remains a void in the vice chancellor post on those dates, it may invariably affect the grades for the university.

Meanwhile, Sabu Thomas called on the governor just days back at Raj Bhavan. He apprised the Governor about the progress in the NAAC accreditation program where 99% of the process is said to be complete. The Vice-chancellor post remaining void during the final phase of accreditation is feared to pave the way for a downfall in grades for the varsity.

The governor will also seek the government's response on the issue. If the government favors Prof. Thomas, the governor will not delay any minute in approving an extension to Sabu Thomas as MG Vice-Chancellor.

At present, MG University has an A grade. Sabu Thomas and his team have started work to enhance the ranks to A++. If achieved, the university will be labeled as a center of excellence with more project funding from the central government.

Last year, Kerala University was bestowed with an A++ grade by NAAC. The sum of the seven CrWGP divided by the sum of the pre-assigned weightages of the seven criteria will result in the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of the institution. The institutional CGPA will be the deciding factor for the accreditation status of the institution and its grade.
