In India, almost all universities have a chancellor as their titular head whose function is largely ceremonial.
The governor of the state, appointed as the union's representative of state by the president, acts as the chancellor of the university.
The de-facto head of the university is the vice-chancellor.
His equivalent for engineering institutes is the director, even for those engineering institutes that are university equivalents, like the Indian Institutes of Technology.
