Leadership Track Record: Vice-Chancellor at Amity University Raipur (Chhattisgarh), Ansal University Gurgaon, and Maharshi Dayanand University Rohtak; Director of the Centre for Canadian Studies at University of Delhi; and CEO – Higher Education at Apeejay Education Society, New Delhi. He subsequently served as Vice-Chancellor of Apeejay Stya University, Gurugram — a role in which AIU’s July 2025 university directory still lists him, though Apeejay Stya’s own leadership page now shows Dr. Vijay Vir Singh in that seat, so his current designation is worth verifying directly before you use it in any formal communication.
