What Is Mahatma Gandhi Central University's Website (mgcub.ac.in)?

Updated

mgcub.ac.in is the official website of Mahatma Gandhi Central University (MGCU), a central university located in Motihari (Bankat), East Champaran district, Bihar, on National Highway 28. The site is the university's public information hub: it publishes official notices and office orders, admission information, event announcements, and details of its administration and leadership. Use it when you need authoritative university announcements or basic institutional facts; it is not a general education portal or a private service.

What the site tells you about the institution

The homepage identifies MGCU as the 41st central university of India. It came into existence through an Act of Parliament — the Central Universities (Amendment) Act 2014 (No. 35 of 2014) — and became functional on 3 February 2016.

The site also lists the university's key officeholders:

Role Name shown on the site
Visitor Smt. Droupadi Murmu, President of India
Chancellor Padma Shri Dr Mahesh Sharma
Education Minister Shri Pralhad Joshi
Vice-Chancellor Prof. Sanjay Srivastava

A message from the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Sanjay Srivastava, welcomes visitors and introduces the university's location and background.

Main content areas

Notifications and office orders

This is the most active section. Recent entries shown on the homepage include:

  • Relieving of a Section Officer, effective 15 October 2026
  • Guest faculty joining and assuming duties in teaching departments
  • Constitution of committees for the 10th Foundation Day celebration
  • Notification of Ph.D. degrees, dated 23 September 2026
  • Appointments of Deans (School of Life Sciences; School of Computational Sciences, Information and Communication Technology) and a Head of Department (Media Studies)
  • Assignment of charges for Controller of Examinations and Officer on Special Duty roles

If you need to verify an official decision, appointment, or date, this section is the place to check.

Admissions

The homepage navigation includes an "Admission" area, indicating the site carries admission-related information. The excerpt available does not detail specific programs, eligibility, or deadlines, so check that section directly for current requirements.

Events and university news

The site carries event notices — for example, the 10th Foundation Day celebration and the flag-hoisting ceremony on the 80th Independence Day (15 August 2026). It also hosts an official response from the university regarding misleading news related to a so-called CAG report, which shows the site is used for official clarifications as well as routine notices.

How to use it

  1. Open mgcub.ac.in.
  2. For official decisions, go to "Notifications/Office Orders" and scan by date; entries are listed with titles that state the action taken.
  3. For joining the university as a student, use the "Admission" section.
  4. For institutional background and leadership, use the Vice-Chancellor's message and the "University Administrators" block.

The site does not publish tuition figures or fee details in the material available here, so do not assume costs or access conditions from the homepage alone — confirm through the admission section or the university directly.
