The V-C is an administrative position and not an academic position. There is absolutely no relation between the position of the V-C of a university and its academics.
The same holds true for other administrative positions in an university as well- for example, registrar, controller of examinations, etc.
While appointing someone to such positions, their administrative experience and ability must be taken into account.
