History

Thumb
Social Sciences Block of Magadh University

The university was established under Bihar State University Act,1976[4] by Satyendra Narayan Sinha, an educationist and the then Education Minister of Bihar in 1962. K. K. Dutta, a renowned historian, was the founder vice-chancellor. It started functioning on 2 March 1962 with two constituent colleges, 32 affiliated colleges and seven postgraduate departments.

In 1992, 17 constituent colleges were transferred to the newly constituted Veer Kunwar Singh University, Arrah (Bhojpur).

After years of discussion and thought, Magadh University was finally split in 2018 and another university i.e. Pataliputra University came into being which covered under its jurisdiction all colleges located within the geographic area of Patna and Nalanda district that were earlier under Magadh University.

Due to division of the university and other associated issues examination of the university were delayed. For this, MULEA CAMPAIGN was launched.
