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. [3] [4]
In 2015, Bihar's education minister hinted that Magadh University (MU) may be split into two or three universities due to the difficulties faced in managing the colleges of oversized MU. In the month of July of the same year, then vice-chancellor of MU, Mohammad Ishtiyaque decided to strengthen the university's Patna branch office to reduce the student's necessity to visit the university headquarters situated at Bodh Gaya. As a part of the strengthening process, a committee was set up to monitor the expansion and growth of the Patna branch office. [5]

[10]

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. [13] Some of Patna's better institutions come under Patliputra University after its creation. [14]
Prof. Upendra Prasad Singh is the vice-chancellor of the university whereas Prof. Ganesh Mahto is the pro-vice-chancellor. [14] Bihar's governor serves as the chancellor of Patliputra University. [15] Abubakar Rizvi is the registrar and Manoj Kumar is the proctor. [16] [17]
