AGARTALA,March 9 (TIWN): Process for the selection of Vice Chancellor for MBB state university most likely will be a farce affair as Chief Minister Manik Sarkar will be appointing his favorite lameduck in this coveted post It is expected that CPI-M intellectual Shyamal Chakraborty whose exposure is limited to Calcutta University Chemistry laboratory is the chosen candidate for VC post. Manik Sarkar has always been promoting Shyamal Chakraborty and his corrupt family and brother scamster BDO Bimal Chakraborty at the cost of public money for scoring narrow political interest. Once In the assembly also Manik Sarkar skillfully sent the University bill to select committee out of love towards Chakraborty family so that scamster Bimal’s brother Shyamal Chakraborty can become new State University’s Vice Chancellor. The state varsity is scheduled to start its maiden journey from upcoming academic session. Currently, two Varsities- ICFAI and Tripura Central University are functioning in the state. Even though Tripura has a full fledged Central University where students excel in studies, no control of State Govt and campus is unpolluted from CPI-M's propaganda, but Manik Sarkar led CPI-M felt the need for a State Govt controlled University so that rather than studies,it will be a breeding ground of communist student leaders like JNU Delhi.

Reportedly, a three member team under the leadership of former Vice Chancellor of Tripura University Arunoday Saha is likely to meet on March 15 to select the candidates for the post of the VC for MBB state university. 

The source said that among all the 10 short listed candidates the search committee would select three efficient candidates for the VC post of MBB state University.  

Among the 10 candidates there are three candidates from the state. 

Two scholars from Presidency University and Jadavpur University have also been short-listed for the VC post.

After selecting the candidates, the committee would recommend the name to the government and government would take the final decision. 

However, chances are fair and clear that Shaymal Chakraborty will be the VC of MBB state university.

It is to be mentioned here that the government has already begun a process to appoint Vice Chancellor (VC) for the proposed MBB Varsity and the process is expected to get completed by March itself. Initially, the Varsity would start with five city based Colleges including MBB College.

A proposal seeking bifurcation of five city based degree colleges has already been sent to the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD).

The government plans to launch the university at Maharaja Bir Bikram College, which has a large campus, which will likely to function as political hotspot of state..

MBB University would start functioning from current academic session (2016-17) in the MBB College premises, official sources said.
