[5][6] However, it was only after the annexation of Goa that the process was consolidated, with the University of Mumbai establishing a Centre for Post-Graduate Instruction and Research (CPIR) in Panaji.

The aforementioned law extended the performance of GU to the territories of Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli, which in practice never occurred.

[19] The university is built on the Taleigão plateau and located about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) away from the center of the state capital Panaji.

[24] The Directorate of Art & Culture, Government of Goa, has funded and established six Visiting Research Professorship Chairs at the university.

[25] Subsequently, chairs were set up in honour of Balakrishna Bhagwant Borkar and Dayanand Bandodkar in 2010 and 2011 respectively, to commemorate their birth centenaries.

[26] In 2014, the Sant Sohirobanath Ambiye in Marathi language and literature was established as a part of tercentenary birth anniversary celebrations of the Goan poet and saint.

[29] The complete list of Chairs at the university is as under: Those who have been appointed to these Chairs include Romila Thapar, Madhav Gadgil, Sudhir Kakar, Meghnad Desai, Baron Desai, Shubha Mudgal,[26] Githa Hariharan,[33] Vidya Dehejia,[34] Saurabh Dube,[35][36] Ishita Banerjee-Dube,[37] Kumkum Roy,[38][39] etc.

The stadium is named after Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, the founder of Bhartiya Jana Sangh and former Indian politician.
