This university is the ideal destination for postgraduate studies, research and professional certificate and diploma courses in this region. The University is committed to groom youths of today to tomorrow’s world by imparting quality education, nurturing local talents and creativity, promoting community engagement, and encouraging entrepreneurship. The University envisions a unique academic and research paradigm shift by embracing and promoting liberal arts, social sciences, and science and technology education and research complying with the framework of New Education Policy 2019. The interdisciplinary curriculum provides ample opportunities for students to showcase their inner creativity in academic pursuit and assimilation of multi-dimensional skills to prepare to address contemporary and emerging socio-cultural, environmental, geopolitical, and technological issues of the region in particular and the nation in general. The academic ambiance in the lush green campus enables students to indulge in education with joy and pride without fear and stress. Making quality and affordable higher education accessible to all communities irrespective of caste, creed, sex, and all economic strata is the goal of the university. The teaching and learning in the University is comprised of classroom lectures, interactions, laboratory and field experiments, industrial visits, internship programmes in premier institutes and corporate firms. Laboratory and computing facilities are among the best in the region with a number of modern equipment, stock of reagents and high end computer. Faculties in the Universities are not only good teachers and mentors but are also friends to students and have the experience of moulding young minds into knowledge and transforming them into intelligent and responsible youths. Many faculties are recognized for their research at the national and international levels and have won laurels including Sahitya Academy Awards and have patent for their research. A number of projects under progress are being funded by Indian Council of Social Science Research, Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, Indian Council of Medical Research, Department of Biotechnology, Department of Science and Technology, and Bodoland Territorial Council. Students on completion of post-graduation also have the opportunity to continue research and work in the ongoing projects. It is worth- mentioning that passed out students and alumni of the University are occupying high positions in and outside the state and a few are undergoing Ph.D. and higher studies in foreign countries. On all counts, Bodoland University is the only destination for postgraduate studies for students who are either appearing for final semester or have completed undergraduate studies.

The campus is equipped with state of the art in Information and Technology with provisions for WiFi for free internet and computer and printing facilities in the departments and hostels. The campus life is vibrant with activities. Library remains open till late night and on holidays. Sports and games facilities are extensive and University Market caters to the daily needs of the students including xerox, stationery, groceries and snacks. Students are considered as privileged members of the University family, and I take this opportunity to appeal the parents and students to seek admission in postgraduate studies and avail the facilities of the University for enhancing employability through quality education. Best wishes to all. Prof. Laishram Ladusingh Vice-Chancellor VII ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE VIII DEANS OF SCHOOLS Academic Departments of Bodoland University are under four schools, i.e. School of Languages, Social Sciences, Commerce & Management and Science & Technology. Such classification is, as per UGC rule, for administrative as well as academic convenience. This is meant for the promotion of interdisciplinary research, study and discussion. This is also for collaborative thinking, writing and interaction. No department can exist autonomously. Interdisciplinary study and research are the benchmark of present day academic articulation. The Deans in Bodoland University as such play a pivotal role in academic integration and systematic understanding of the core concepts and their interface.
