==History== 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.<ref>{{cite news |title=MU's Patna office to cater to needs of 1.5L students |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/MUs-Patna-office-to-cater-to-needs-of-1-5L-students/articleshow/48163668.cms |author=B K Mishra |newspaper=The Times of India |location=Patna |date=22 July 2015 |access-date=20 June 2018 }}</ref>

== Controversies ==

* 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.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|agency=TNN|date=Aug 13, 2018|title=Panel to probe into charges against registrar: PPU VC {{!}} Patna News - Times of India|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/panel-to-probe-into-charges-against-registrar-ppu-vc/articleshow/65378610.cms|access-date=2020-09-24|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref> * 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.<ref name=":0" />
