About Purvanchal University / Veer Bahadur Singh Purvanchal University

Purvanchal University (renamed as Veer Bahadur Singh Purvanchal University in the honour of late Shri Veer Bahadur Singh, former Chief Minister of the state) Jaunpur was established on 2nd October 1987 as an affiliating university under U.P. state university act 1973. Started with the 68 affiliated colleges, the university now has widened it’s spectrum of activities with 331 affiliated graduate and post-graduate colleges and students enrolment of nearly three hundred and eighty thousand in 12 Districts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. The infrastructure development, achievement of academic excellence, quality assurance in the higher education and socio-economic development of this highly backward & rural region of Eastern Uttar Pradesh are some of the priority areas for which the university is putting its best efforts. The beginning of two-year full-time residential MBA course in 1990 was one of the first steps towards making change in the character of the university from affiliating to affiliating-cum-residential university. The dearth of technical and professional educational facilities and growing demand for need based courses in the region have been the guiding factors that have led the university on the path of continuous academic growth with the beginning of 16 more residential courses in the various streams including Engineering & Technology (B.Tech.), Modern and Applied Sciences (MBT), Management (MFC, MHRD), Pharmacy (B.Pharmacy) and Applied Social Sciences (MAP, MBE, MMC ) in mere 15 years since it’s inception. The last three years have witnessed a remarkable growth in the university with the introduction of new courses like B. Pharm, B. Tech. in Instrumentation, Mechanical & IT, M. Sc. (Applied Biochemistry, Applied Microbiology & Environmental Sciences), MBA (Agri-Business), MBA (E-Commerce). In addition, the university has introduced a number of need-based PG Diploma programmes in different subject areas like Financial Management , International Business, Export Management, Stress Management, Sports Psychology, etc during the last 3 years.
