Khallikote University was a state university situated in Brahmapur, Odisha.
It was founded in 2015 as a cluster university with five constituent colleges, transformed into a unitary university in 2020 and merged with Berhampur University in 2021, thus ceasing operation.
This was achieved by excluding five colleges from the jurisdiction of Berhampur University (BU) and granting them autonomy, also allowing them to share infrastructure and faculty.
[1][2] In 2020, the university was changed to a unitary university, i.e., a university with no affiliated colleges, and the five colleges were re-affiliated to BU.
[3] In 2021, the university itself was merged with BU and ceased operation.
