Introduction

Nalanda University is a research-intensive international University offering Postgraduate and PhD programmes. The re-establishment of the ancient Nalanda University commenced with an agreement between India and participating countries of the East Asia Summit. Based on the agreement, Nalanda University was established on November 25, 2010, by a Special Act of the Indian Parliament and designated as an ‘Institution of National Importance’.

Nalanda University is inspired by its historic predecessor's academic excellence and global vision – the ancient Nalanda. It aspires to meet and set global standards of academic excellence and research, augmenting capacity building in all areas of the knowledge industry. To reinforce the University's international character, 18 countries have signed an MOU with the Government of India to support the establishment of the University and the numbers keep swelling.
