History

Goa University was established under the Goa University Act of 1984 (Act No. 7 of 1984) and commenced operations on 1 June 1985 ^[1].

After the Liberation of Goa from Portuguese colonial rule in December 1961, the University of Bombay, (now University of Mumbai) offered affiliation through its Centre of Post-Graduate Instruction and Research, located in the state capital Panaji, to the first colleges that were instituted in Goa in June 1962.
