It may be mentioned here that MUC has been functioning without a regular vice-chancellor and registrar. The Commissioner of Arts and Culture is acting as the vice-chancellor and a deputy registrar is in charge of the registrar of the university. 

The student unions of Jawaharlal Nehru Manipur Dance Academy (JNMDA), Music College and Government Dance college lauded the state government and the chairman of MUC for appointing a new VC.

The prevailing atmosphere at MUC regarding the admission issues of students for two months could be settled with appointment of the new vice chancellor, a joint release by the student unions stated.
