Yogesh Singh Begins Second Term as Delhi University Vice-Chancellor
Delhi University Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh began his second consecutive five-year term on October 8, 2026, becoming the first Indian to serve two terms in this role. His reappointment follows a 2023 amendment to the university's statutes allowing a second term, approved by the President of India as Visitor. Previously, only Maurice Gwyer served multiple terms as DU Vice-Chancellor from 1938 to 1950. The Ministry of Education notified Singh's reappointment in July 2026.
