Chancellor (education)

===India===
In India, most central and state level universities have a titular head called chancellor who is either an eminent person appointed by the Government of India (in central universities) or provincial governor (in state universities). The {{Lang|la|de facto}} head of a university is the vice-chancellor, the highest paid official of the university. Next in command are more than one pro-vice-chancellor in charge of academic as well as administrative and financial affairs. In deemed universities and institutes of national importance, the head of the institution is either called [[director general]] or [[director (education)|director]], the latter designation being more commonly used in academic terms in the subcontinent.
