Munger University came into existence on 18th March 2018 and it is all set to evolve as centre of excellence in various disciplines incorporating all modern subjects and their interfaces. We have fixed up our aims which, when fulfilled, shall be conducive to growth of an international centre of learning having unlimited scope of recognition of innovative skills and creation & dissemination of knowledge.

This University is to be situated almost at the same latitude as that of ancient Vikramshila University where a Central University is proposed and planned in a sprawling 500-acre campus and that of the ancient Nalanda University where an international university has already come up with the involvement of Late Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Azad and Nobel Laureate, Dr. Amartya Sen. Our university will be situated almost at the centre of the line joining the two upcoming centres of excellence. Thus I see the future of an education tourism incorporating Munger, Vikramshila and Nalanda.

The university is going to launch many innovative courses such as those on Family Management and Food Technology. Departments like Department of Continuing Learning and Professional Development Studies are on the anvil.

The pattern of world’s renowned university and flexibility in the curricula and various Capsule Courses and Elective Papers are parts of our motto. Choice Based Credit System and similar reforms are bound to provide opportunities to our students and faculties. We have been building bridges with corporate sectors too.

After the creation of Kolkata University which was established in 1857, the educational institutions of Bihar kept working under this University till 1917 when Patna University was established. New universities emerged after Independence. In 1960, Bhagalpur University was created, which was later renamed as Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University. On 18 March 2018, Munger University, Munger was carved out by bifurcating TMBU, Bhagalpur taking under its jurisdiction all constituent, affiliated and B.Ed. colleges of Munger, Lakhisarai, Sheikhpura, Jamui and Khagaria Districts.
