ACADEMIC PROGRAMME
Introduction
1. Ravenshaw, one of the premier educational
institutions in the country was established in 1868 in the town of Cuttack in
Orissa. After hundred forty years of eventful existence, it was converted into
Ravenshaw University by an Act of the State Legislature in November 15, 2006.
Thus, as one of the heritage educational institutions, and as a young
university, Ravenshaw is a veritable blend of the old and the new.
2. The old Ravenshaw Campus with its majestic
structures was set up in the year 1919 over about a hundred acres of land on
the eastern side of Cuttack. After being a university, Ravenshaw has acquired
about another hundred forty acres of land on the bank of river Mahanadi to
build its second campus for the new disciplines of management and applied
sciences.
3. The old Ravenshaw campus is located very
close to Cuttack Railway Station, and requires about 45 minutes of driving time
to reach from Bhubaneswar Airport.
4. As a young university, the old Ravenshaw
is now in the throes of preservation and change. Its infrastructure, both
academic and physical, is being strengthened and expanded to meet the needs to
make it more contemporary, and raise the level of its excellence. For instance,
Ravenshaw University is soon going to recruit a brand new faculty for its
various disciplines.
Undergraduate Courses
5. Ravenshaw
University offers 26 undergraduate courses of which 5 are self financing in
nature, requiring an increased fee structure. These courses are available as
honours courses, with subjects divided as Major and Subsidiary in all the three
streams of Humanities, Science and Commerce including Business.
