Swami was appointed as the founder Vice Chancellor (VC).[5] The Chancellor of the institute is the Governor of Rajasthan.[6] In 2014, in commemoration of Maharaja Surajmal, it was renamed Maharaja Surajmal Brij University, Bharatpur through Brij University, Bharatpur (Change of Name) Act, 2014.[7] In April 2016 Swami quit his position, citing harassment by Vijay Bansal as the cause, while Bansal accused Swami of "administrative and financial irregularities".[5] Ashwani Kumar Bansal was appointed VC in February 2017[8] and R.K.S.
