Formerly headed by the like of Kyabje Zong Rinpoche, Prof. Samdong Rinpoche (former Prime Minister of the Central Tibetan Administrations), and Prof. Ngawang Samten, also a former alumni, the institute is currently headed by Prof. Lobsang Norbu Shastri.^[3] Assisted by faculty members, with the goal of achieving excellence in the field of Tibetology, Buddhology and etc. The University attracts a large number of students from many regions of the Himalyan family, with students coming from Kinnaur, Lahaul, Spiti, Ladakh, Monpas from Arunachal.
