Board of Governors

The Nodal Ministry of the Institute vide communication No. F.no. 50020/38/2026-NIPER dated 26.05.2026 directed that as per the provisions of the NIPER Act 1998 and the Statutes framed thereunder, the Board of Governors (BoG) is the Principal Executive body of each of the NIPERs. The composition of the BoG includes:

Ex-officio members, whose tenure is co-terminus with the office held by them; and

Therefore, to ensure general superintendence, direction and control of affairs of the NIPERS, BOG may continue to function and discharge its responsibilities, with the existing ex-officio members and faculty members nominated by the Senate and as per the provisions of NIPER Act and Statutes.

Accordingly, the following shall be the composition of Board of Governors of the Institute, with effect from 09 July 2026 until further notification.
