The Indian Council of Marketing Research (ICMR), in its latest survey of the higher educational institutions across the country, has placed Magadh University in the 17h slot among the list of 20, Kumar told.
 
"This has become possible because of sincere efforts made to streamlining the academic calender, improvement of infrastructure and upgradation of colleges," he said.
 
Additions in new courses and the research and development works undertaken recently by the university scholars and the teachers added new dimension to the higher studies, he said.
 
The VC said, "All the credit goes to the university teachers and staff," adding the university has introduced semester system for the first time in Bihar.
 
"We have also introduced e-governance that has further ensured administrative transparency," he said.
