A permanent campus of the university is already in the construction phase in Rajbir district of Bihar. Phase 1 of the project is likely to be completed by the year end of 2019 or the beginning of 2020. Architecture consultants have also been hired to fast-track the project. Interestingly, a lot of pre-fabricated structures are also being considered to be used wherever possible so that the completion target is met well in time.

Nalanda University was established in the year 2010. The first meeting of the university was held with the new governing board recently on 10th February 2017. It was evaluated that the number of students who have so far enrolled in the university since its inception has been quite inadequate.

In order to attract more students, the new school has been launched so that the growth of the university is given the much-needed push.

Additionally, according to sources, the university is also planning to launch a School of Linguistic Studies in 2017-18 and a School of Public Health in the year 2018-19.
