The Central University of Jharkhand (CUJ) is a Central University of India, established by an act of Indian Parliament (Act no. 25 of 2009) in 2009. The President of India assented this act on 20 March 2009, however the university act deemed to come into force on 15 January 2009. Like other Central Universities of India it is a teaching and research university.

Innovations in academic processes

The University offers Five year Integrated Courses, Three year UG Courses, Two years P.G. Courses and Ph.D courses which are carefully designed to meet the multi-disciplinary needs of a Choice-based Credit System (CBCS) across different semesters and research. In a CBCS, a student enrolling for a Mathematics degree has a choice of taking an optional paper (for Credits) in, say, Mass Communication. In principle, a student could opt for a credit course from any other Central University, subject to availability of seats. Another innovation in the academic process is the compulsory internships in the professional program like Engineering, Business Administration and Mass Communication at the end of Year II, Year III and Year IV of the five year integrated programs. The University offers career oriented courses and has tie-ups with Oracle University to train students in Oracle Applications. Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Govt. of India has selected Central University of Jharkhand (CUJ), Ranchi to set-up a Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Green & Efficient Energy Technology (GEET).[1] The CoE-GEET will work on following thematic areas

International tie-ups

The university is exploring international collaborations and has entered into an MOU with California State University, USA, for student and faculty exchange.

The Brambe campus of the CUJ is very green due to tall Saal trees dotted with nearly 70 independent class rooms and teaching labs. The majority of classrooms are equipped with interactive boards and projectors. The campus houses an auditorium with 400 seats, research lab complex for sciences, engineering workshops and computer lab, and a linguistics lab.

The university provides on-campus accommodation to students (total capacity 1000 boys and girls in separate hostels). Other amenities in Brambe campus include two banks Allahabad Bank and Punjab National Bank (PNB), automated teller machine (ATM) of SBI, PNB and Allahabad Bank, gym, and canteen.
