It was established in 1951 under Rajendra Prasad to revive the ancient seat of learning in Nalanda.

The ruins of the ancient University of Nalanda lie close to the northern bank.

During India's first Global Buddhist Conference in 2021, the Dalai Lama inaugurated two new buildings at the University.
