Dr Tayek Talom of Arunachal Pradesh has been appointed Vice‑Chancellor of Apex Professional University, marking a historic first for the institution.
Dr Tayek Talom, a respected academic from Arunachal Pradesh, has been named the new Vice‑Chancellor of Apex Professional University, a private institution that offers a range of professional courses across India.
The appointment, announced by the university’s Board of Governors, is historic as Talom will be the first person from the northeastern region to hold the top leadership position at the university.
Talom’s career spans teaching, research and administrative roles in several higher‑education institutions. His experience is expected to bring a fresh perspective to Apex’s strategic planning and academic programmes.
University officials said the decision reflects a broader effort to diversify leadership and strengthen ties with institutions in the northeastern states.
The new VC will assume office in September, with a mandate to enhance academic quality, expand industry linkages and foster inclusive growth across the campus.
