5th century: Founding of the world's first university in Naland

Although the antiquity of Nalanda (Bihar) as an important shopping center dates back to the 5th century BC. e., its fame began in the V century C.E. with the foundation of the University of Nalanda.

Founded nearly 500 years before Oxford University, this Buddhist university was attended by Chinese pilgrims Xuan Zang and Yi-Qing, who wrote interesting reports on the university's admission and registration rules.

The university offered courses in grammar, philology, medicine and logic. Eclipsed by other universities nearby, Nalanda University sank into oblivion due to a lack of proper patronage in the 13th century, leaving behind ruins.
