Patliputra University (PPU) is a collegiate public state university located in Patna, Bihar, India. It was established in 2018 by the Government of Bihar. The university has jurisdiction over colleges in the Patna and Nalanda districts, except those affiliated with Patna University. As a collegiate university, its functions are shared between the university departments and its affiliated institutions. The headquarters is situated at Kankarbagh, Patna, while a permanent campus is under development near Bakhtiyarpur.[1][2]

History

[edit]

In 2015, Bihar's education minister indicated that Magadh University (MU) might be divided into two or three universities due to the difficulties in managing its large number of affiliated colleges. In July of the same year, the then vice-chancellor of MU, Mohammad Ishtiyaque, decided to strengthen the university's Patna branch office to reduce the need for students to visit the headquarters at Bodh Gaya. As part of this process, a committee was established to oversee the expansion and development of the Patna branch office.[3]

On 30 July 2016, the Bihar cabinet approved the Bihar State Universities (Amendment) Bill, 2016, which paved the way for the creation of Patliputra University by bifurcating Magadh University.[4][5]

In October 2017, a notice was issued inviting applications for the posts of vice-chancellor and pro-vice-chancellor.[6] More than 150 professors applied for these posts.[7] On 19 March 2018, Bihar governor Satya Pal Malik appointed Girish Kumar Choudhary as pro-vice-chancellor and Gulab Chand Ram Jaiswal as vice-chancellor of Patliputra University under the Bihar State University (Amendment) Act, 1976.[8]

Academics

[edit]

Admitted students of Magadh University (MU) will be awarded degrees by the MU.[9] The university started operating academically from the 2018–19 academic year.[10] The programmes being offered at the university be the same as the ones being offered at Magadh University.[9]

The university plans to launch postgraduate departments in science, commerce and arts stream at university level after many of the postgraduate departments went to MU after the bifurcation.[11] Some of Patna's better institutions come under Patliputra University after its creation.[12]

Administration

[edit]

As of September 2025, Upendra Prasad Singh serves as the vice-chancellor of the university,[13] while Ganesh Mahto continues as the pro-vice-chancellor.[14]

The Governor of Bihar acts as the chancellor of Patliputra University.[15]

Abubakar Rizvi serves as the registrar,[16] and Manoj Kumar is the proctor.[17]

Campus

[edit]

Controversies

[edit]
  • In August 2018, an investigation committee of 5 members was constituted by Vice Chancellor Prof. Gulab Chand Ram Jaiswal to probe the charges of misbehaviour and irregularities against the then registrar of university Col. (Retd.) Kamesh Kumar. The committee was formed due to non-satisfactory reply of a showcause notice issued to the registrar previously. Rather than answering, he questioned several decisions taken by the university at that time. He allegedly confronted the VC and pro-VC on various issues related to academics and outsourcing of the security staff for the university. The committee was asked to submit its report in a day or two so that it could be finally sent to the Raj Bhavan for necessary directives in the matter from then chancellor cum Governor of Bihar, Satya Pal Malik.[29]
  • On October 15, 2019, the university issued notice to JD Women's College, asking it to make arrangements for starting PG department on the third floor of arts block of the college - a college fully reserved for girls. The university's letter caused unrest among college students. Hundreds of students staged protest demonstrations in college premises against the university's decision to admit male students in post-graduation courses from current academic session in a fully reserved girls' college. Soni, then president of JD Women's Students Union, said, “Entry of male students in the college campus would hamper safety and peaceful environment of the college. Various Student's Unions like Chhatra JDU, AISF etc of other colleges also supported the protest. University's pro-vice-chancellor Girish Kumar Choudhary said, “The building selected for PG department has a separate entrance gate. The university was looking for space in all constituent colleges to start PG courses. JD women's college has a newly constructed building which has vacant space. University asked for this only for temporary instance. For zero interference of PG department into college campus, the university is ready to barricade the space. Also, class timings will be coordinated so that PG classes should start after departure of UG classes". He accused politically affiliated students’ unions for politicising the decision for grabbing attention.[29]
