Goa University was established under the Goa University Act of 1984 (Act No. 7 of 1984) and commenced
operations on 1
st
June, 1985. The University provides higher education in the Indian state of Goa. It is located
on Taleigao Plateau overlooking Zuari estuary on a picturesque campus spread over 402 acres with state-of-
the-art infrastructure such as faculty blocks, administrative building, library, sports facilities, student hostels,
bank, post-office, staff quarters, etc. Campus-Wide Internet connectivity with strong bandwidth is available
for all 24 hours a day.
The University took over the enhanced role of Centre of Post-Graduate Instruction and Research (CPIR)
which was set after the liberation of Goa by India in December 1961, by the University of Bombay (now
Mumbai), in June 1962. Since 1985 Goa University offers graduate and post-graduate studies and research
Programmes.
Goa University is currently accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with
B++ Grade in the 4
th
Cycle valid upto 26
th
December, 2027. The National Institutional Ranking Framework
(NIRF) (an organ of Ministry of Human Resources and Development, Govt. of India) has currently ranked the
University at Rank-band 101-150 and consistently participated in the 7
th
edition of NIRF ranking. QS
University rankings - a World University rankings agency - has been ranked Goa University at 551-600 rank
band in QS Asia Ranking 2023. While in Southern Asia, Goa University is ranked at 145 by QS Asia ranking.
Goa University have been rated as “Very High” in 2023 in the Research output while it is listed among Top
73 % Universities in the QS Asia University rankings. The University is ranked 211 in Faculty to Student Ratio
in 2023 in Asia. 'India Today' ranked Goa University at 25
th
level among the General (Government)
Universities in India while the 'The Week' magazine ranked at 40
th
rank . Goa University is ranked at 35
th
by
'OUTLOLOOK ICARE Best University Ranking 2023' among the Government Universities.
Over the past 37 years, the University has steadily expanded its reach, both in terms of the number of
affiliated colleges - professional and general education numbering to 65, as well as the diversity of courses
offered. These colleges offer various courses leading to a Degree at graduate, post-graduate level. Some of
them are also recognized as research centres to offer Ph.D. Programmes. Over 30000 youth from all talukas
of Goa are studying in affiliated colleges and over 2000 are enrolled for post-graduate Programmes at the
University campus. The percentage of women (over 60%) outnumber men (about 40%).
The University, on its campus, has ten Schools which were formed by amalgamation of traditional
Departments to allow the organic evolution of new courses in 2019-20. These Schools offers various
Programmes leading to Undergraduate Degree (5), Master’s Degree (41) and Ph.D. Degree (35) in various
disciplines. The University has made a significant impact at the national level in various areas of specialization
and draws students in select disciplines from across the country. Geographically, Goa is located in an
ecologically sensitive region along the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea. Goa University has appropriately
G o a U n i v e r s i t y P r o s p e c t u s 2 0 24- 2 5 P a g e 4
emerged as an important resource centre for research in the field of flora and fauna endemic to this region,
as well as the marine environment. The Ministry of Earth Sciences has recognized Goa University’s significant
contribution in this domain, as a consequence of which a Centre of Excellence was established in Marine
Microbiology. The Schools at the University have developed excellent research facilities and the large
funding for research is received from Central Government agencies such as University Grants Commission,
Department of Science & Technology, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Ministry of Environmental Sciences and
Climate Change, Department of Biotechnology, etc. For a relatively small university, Goa University attracts
generous funding of research projects from national funding agencies which reflects upon the high quality
of research undertaken by the faculty at the University.
The strength of the Goa University lies in the number of research publications and signigifcant incearse in h-
index /i10 index. Goa University has so far published over 6000 research publications (including PhD theses)
and the full-text of these are available at the unique Publications Repository. There are very few state
universities in India who have made such an effort in consolidating the information by creating institutional
repository. There is a multi-fold increase in the visibility of the university with its publications on the
repository. Current h-index as per the Web of Knowledge database from just 1998 journal publications out
of 6000 is 76.
In addition to the conventional graduate and postgraduate Programmes, Goa University has also taken
initiatives to provide innovative Programmes. Some noteworthy initiatives are the National Resource Centre
in Marine Science under the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) for the professional
development of higher education using the MOOCs platform SWAYAM, the State Resource Centre for
Women funded by Ministry of Women and Child Development, Govt. of India as well as Dept. of Women
and Child, Govt. of Goa, the Study India Programme with Nihon University of Japan, etc. Goa University
launched the Visiting Research Professors Programme (VRPP) from the year 2013-14 to bring luminaries in
the field of liberal arts & literature, social and natural sciences, and other fields. The visiting professors
interact with students, deliver lectures, offer courses, and work on collaborative research projects, or
stimulate the creation of art installations and music performances with faculty and students. These visiting
professors are found to generate a creative environment in learning and contemporary knowledge
production practices with their intellectual and aesthetic endeavours. The Programme is being supported by
Directorate of Art and Culture, & Directorate of Higher Education, Government of Goa and open to the
general public too. In addition, few of the chairs are funded by Private parties. University has switched over
from earlier CBCS to NEP-2020 structure for PG from AY 2022-23 and for UG from AY 2023-24.

b. Introduction:
1) Introduction: Applied Geology
The M.Sc. Applied Geology program involves advanced training in subjects and builds upon the
foundation laid at the Bachelor’s level. The focus is on building a strong theoretical and practical
framework to enable students to tackle routine work in the industry as well as to take initiative in
challenging new areas. Accordingly the Master’s program includes fundamental courses such as
Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Structural Geology, Sedimentology, Igneous Petrology, Metamorphic
Petrology, Economic Geology, Stratigraphy and Indian Geology, as well as courses related to practical
aspects such as Remote Sensing, GIS, Petroleum Geology, Mining Geology, Groundwater Geology,
Exploration Geophysics, Statistical Geology. The coursework is aided by introduction to computer
applications in various fields. Some of the computer tools that the students are introduced to during
the period of their coursework include Surfer, Strater, Rockware, Surpac, ArcGIS, IDIRSI, SteroNett,
ERDAS, etc. apart from other software not explicitly related to the core subjects. As a supplement to
the various theoretical courses, the students are also given an opportunity to work in the field. There
are two educational field related courses in the 2nd and 4th semesters respectively, apart from the
practical industry training in mining or petroleum related industries at the end of the 2nd semester.
The majority of the students over the years have been placed in mining and oil companies through
regular counseling and campus placements. All the core and elective, optional courses included in
the programs have been specifically designed to meet industry standards and research requirements.
The close links that this program enjoys with the industry (particularly Mining & Mineral) and
research organizations, have worked towards elevating the level and quality of studies and facilities.
The program also works towards reaching the general public under outreach programs for creating
G o a U n i v e r s i t y P r o s p e c t u s 2 0 2 4 - 25 P a g e 49
awareness in conservation and management of natural resources. The Discipline has been actively
involved in several international programs (UNIGIS Distance Learning in GIS, International Earth
Science Olympiad, etc.) Research opportunities (Ph. D) for advanced study are offered under the
Earth Science Program which has resulted in good publications in top notch journals and has given
good visibility to the program of the School. The Geology Museum hosts representative samples
covering most of the Peninsular India lithotypes as well as minerals, ores and fossils.
2) Introduction: Marine Sciences
The Discipline of Marine Sciences, Goa University, was established in the year 1985 and has grown
to become a multidisciplinary School focusing on post graduate teaching and research in different
branches of Marine Sciences, namely Physical Oceanography, Marine Chemistry, Marine Biology and
Marine Geology. Marine Sciences program admits students from a wide background of bachelor
Degree, such as Mathematics, Physics, Electronics, Computer Science, IT, Chemistry, Industrial
Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Zoology, Botany, Microbiology,
Biotechnology, Biosciences, Fisheries, Aquatic Science, Earth Sciences, and Geology. The Marine
Sciences program is nationally recognized as National Resource Center in Marine Sciences. Since
2010, the program offers Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) giving an option to the students to
choose her/his optional courses. Onboard ship training for a period of 15 to 20 days is a compulsory
component of the course. This is in addition to the regular field surveys of coastal zone and estuarine
waters.
3) Introduction: Marine Microbiology
This Program was initiated in June 2012, under the award of UGC sponsored ‘Innovative Program for
teaching and research in interdisciplinary and emerging areas’. The Program is meant for students to
pursue higher studies in Marine Microbiology. Being a university in coastal state of India, Goa
University provides a strategic advantage in learning Microbiology of marine and coastal ecosystems.
It serves to impart advanced training to students in the field of Marine Microbiology with focus on
marine microbial diversity, bio-prospecting and applications of marine microbes in the production of
various biologically significant metabolites; and in bioremediation of polluted environments.
Students undergo hands-on training with state-of the art technologies and are trained so as to
develop an aptitude for independent research. The Program equips students for higher research
leading to the Ph.D. Degree in India or in International Universities overseas, or for employment in
Research Institutes, in teaching, and in Industry, the students finding speedy employment.
4) Introduction: M.Sc. Environmental Science/ M.A. Environmental Science
Environmental science has conventionally studied physical, chemical and biological processes in the
Earth system (Lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and cryosphere). It now incorporates nature-
human interactions and the social, political and cultural processes which impact the planet. The
G o a U n i v e r s i t y P r o s p e c t u s 2 0 2 4 - 25 P a g e 50
anthropogenic pressures on the ecological processes have forced disciplinary boundaries to merge
and a student of environmental science must understand the complex relationships that drive
nature-human interactions. Sustainability is one of the grand challenges that human survival faces
on planet Earth. This program was initiated from AY 2021-22 and has been conceived as a
multidisciplinary program which will teach students how to combine skills and knowledge from a
variety of domains. It will allow students to explore courses from a large number of disciplines and
skill themselves in a manner that they feel best suits them for their knowledge pursuits. The program
will provide a holistic approach to understand environmental issues and undertake environmental
impact assessments with diverse perspectives, frameworks and using multiple data sources. All
students will undertake fieldwork and laboratory work to experience different habitats, climates,
land formations and social structures.

a) Introduction: International Studies
The MA International Studies Programme is the flagship offering of the School of International and
Area Studies, having been in pedagogic vogue, for two decades and more. The MA Programme which
is a full-time Two years (four Semesters) Degree, involves interdisciplinary instruction and attendant
research, drawing on perspectives specific to the emergent discipline of International Relations, but
also from International Politics, Economics, History, Law, and Security and Strategic Studies, with a
view to offering students a holistic and integrated understanding of the rudiments, as also the nuances
and intricacies, of the field of International Affairs. The Programme is particularly attractive on account
of the wide spread of Optional Courses on offer, beholding deeper insights into thematic subjects and
topical regional dynamics, alike. The Syllabi of the MA Programme tends to be revised and updated
pursuant to changing trends, once every three to four years. The SIAS has lately been endeavouring to
integrate linguistic teaching with instruction on International Relations and hence has offered Spanish
and Japanese languages, as ‘Certificate of Proficiency’ Programmes. Students undertaking the MA
International Studies Programme have undertaken internship stints both during and after their Degree

b) Introduction: Law
The Manohar Parrikar School of Law, Governance and Public Policy encompasses the disciplines of
Women's Studies, Social Work, Law, Public Administration, Tribal Studies and Disability Studies. The
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Chair in Leadership and Governance is also associated with this School.
There are two distinct reasons for the establishment of the Manohar Parrikar School of Law,
Governance and Public Policy in the Goa University. The first is to create within the only public
University of the State a living memorial of Shri Manohar Parrikar, our late Chief Minister whose
G o a U n i v e r s i t y P r o s p e c t u s 2 0 2 4 - 25 P a g e 67
immense contributions to the people-centric public policies are widely recognised and celebrated. The
School is named in the memory of a national leader who was widely recognised for his commitment
to good and effective governance and popular public outreach. The second reason is to create an
academic entity within Goa University that will conduct policy-relevant research and offer advanced
Programmes in applied social sciences, thereby contributing to the creation of a well-trained cadre of
public policy professionals in the State.
Goa stands at a very interesting intersection with multiple claims on development, local aspirations
and public policies. The state needs well designed research on environmental development for which
effective formulation and implementation of public policies are the most important to make public
administration and governance more effective and adaptive to the new demands and challenges. Goa
University seeks to contribute by establishing an academic entity for research and training in the areas
of public policy, administration and governance which can assist legislators, officials and public
servants at all levels in the performance of their duties. The Manohar Parrikar School will act as a
knowledge hub, where public policy experts, practitioners and members of the wider public will get a
chance to deliberate on ideas of good governance and to carry out research.
All the Programmes in Manohar Parrikar School are designed to facilitate critical thinking, develop new
knowledge, with a commitment to social change. We strive to use new and inclusive methods of
knowledge production in our efforts to bridge theory and practice. The Programmes aim at developing
the research capacities in students to engage academically and practically with social realities. The
pedagogy includes extension activities, hands on training, research, documentation, advocacy and
field action within the wider community, while networking with organizations committed to social
empowerment at the state, national and international arenas.
Other Programmes that we hope to offer in the Manohar Parrikar School soon include: MA Rural
Development, BSW, and BA Women’s Studies.
The School works closely with various stakeholders including Government and civil society
organizations on advocacy, research and extension activities for social empowerment. The School has
played an instrumental role in the setting up of the Women’s Cell in the Police Headquarters, the 181
Helpline service for women, Goa State Women’s Commission and the Goa State Resource Centre for
Women. Students who are trained in Women’s Studies can contribute to any organization working for
women, or on human rights, media, environment or development.
c) Placement Sources for the Students:
Government Disciplines including Discipline of Women and Child Development, Government outreach
projects, NGOs, Colleges, Schools, Research, CSR, media etc.
d) Varied teaching and learning tools are used such as digital storytelling, films, group discussions, field
trips, role-play, reading clubs, film festivals and campaigns. All lecture presentations are circulated.
Field realities are brought into the classroom through field placements and students are encouraged
G o a U n i v e r s i t y P r o s p e c t u s 2 0 2 4 - 25 P a g e 68
to engage with the community. Local experts are also invited to the classroom to share their
experiences.

b) Introduction:
The School of Sanskrit, Philosophy and Indic Studies (SSPIS) is the outcome of integrating two
separate academic units at Goa University, namely, the Discipline of Philosophy, one of the oldest
Discipline, and the nascent School of Sanskrit and Indic Knowledge Systems into a composite whole
for wider and deeper engagements. Academic study of Philosophy at Goa University was initially part
of the then Centre for Post-Graduate Instruction and Research of University of Bombay (CPIR-1967).
Subsequently, when Goa University came into existence, it became one of the constituent Discipline.
Currently, the SSPIS offers Master’s as well as Doctoral studies in Philosophy, encompassing both the
Indian and Western Philosophical specializations. As Philosophy overarches beyond any specific

THE GOA UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ DISCIPLINE AND CONDUCT RULES 2018
Preamble: Students indiscipline leads to serious issues including ragging. It has been observed by
Hon’ble Courts of Law and UGC that common places where indiscipline/ragging could occur includes
canteens and hostels. This necessitates relooking into disciplinary rules for hostel management as well
as Disciplinary Rules by Goa University, probably in the year 1988. A proctorial system needs to be
established as suggested by the Academic Council of the Goa University.
Whereas it is considered necessary and expedient to frame rules under which disciplinary action may
be taken at various levels against students of the University Teaching Schools/Centers, established
and maintained by Goa University.
The following Rules are framed under section 22 (q) of the Goa University Act, 1984 read with clause
5 of the Statute no. 26.
Before proceeding further, the Committee would like to reproduce some important guidelines in this
context:
Section 22 (q) of GU Act, 1984 read with clause 5 of Statute 26 provides for the Maintenance of
discipline among students of the University –
(1) All powers relating to discipline and disciplinary action in relation to student of the University shall
vest in the Vice-Chancellor.
(2) The Vice-Chancellor may delegate all or any of his powers as he deems proper to the Registrar
and to such other officers as he may specify in this behalf.
(3) Without prejudice to the generality of his powers relating to the maintenance of discipline and
taking such action, as may seem to him appropriate for the maintenance of discipline, the Vice-
Chancellor may, in the exercise of his powers, by order, direct that any student or student be expelled
or restricted for a specified period or be not admitted to a course or courses of study in a college,
institution or Schools of the University for a stated period or be punished with fine for an amount to be
specified in the order or be debarred from taking an examination or examinations conducted by the
University, college, institution or Schools for one or more years, or that the results of the students or
students concerned in the examination or examinations in which he or they have appeared be
cancelled.
(4) The Principals of the colleges, institutions, Head of Special Centers, Deans of Schools of University
shall have the authority to exercise all such disciplinary powers over the students in their respective
colleges, institutions Special Centers,Schools of the University as may be necessary for proper conduct
of such colleges, institutions, special centers, Schools of the Universit.

in clause (4), detailed rules of discipline and proper conduct shall be made by the University. The
Principals of colleges, institutions, Heads of Special Centers, Deans of Schools of Studies and teaching
faculties of the University may also make such supplementary rules as they deem necessary for the
aforesaid purpose. Every student shall be supplied with a copy of the rule made by the University and
a copy of the supplementary rules shall be supplied to the students concerned.
(6) At the time of admission, every student shall be required to sign a declaration to the effect that
