The university, established in 2011 on a 286-acre campus, had Nikhil Sinha as its first Vice-Chancellor. On 1 February 2016, Rupamanjari Ghosh succeeded him as the second Vice-Chancellor.[8] After completing her second term, she passed the leadership to Dr. Ananya Mukherjee on 31 January 2022.[9]

Reports indicated that the individuals had previously been engaged in a romantic relationship.[10] In an investigation after an FIR was filed by the Uttar Pradesh police, it was revealed that following their breakup, the victim had expressed concerns to administrators regarding the shooter's behavior.[11]
