Some highlights of the University:

Central Library

Ranchi University has a central library having more than 90000 text books, 10000 reference books and 350 Ph.D theses. Students, research scholars and teachers use these materials in its calm, comforting and serene atmosphere. With the introduction of fully operational INFLIBNET facility (connected through dedicated lease line to INFLIBNET Centre, Ahmadabad) the utility of central library has increased many fold. Several thousands e-journals are thus made available which will immensely help research scholars, students and teachers. As far as extending this facility to other units is concerned this will act as a central hub. Connectivity has already been extended to Ranchi College and very soon all university departments and ASC will have this facility. Considering its importance its working hour has been extended upto 8pm.

Academic Staff College

Academic Staff College of Ranchi University is involved in the mission of professional development of faculty on a continuous basis by providing a platform through which faculty/ officers can enrich their knowledge, imbibe healthy work culture practices and acquire information about new ideas, latest methodologies, process and techniques. Apart from conducting orientation programmes and refresher courses in regular disciplines it is making a conscious effort of arranging programmes in non conventional but highly relevant domains such as Art of living, Environmental Science, Information Technology, Women’s study etc. A state-of-the-art and fully computerized ‘Ramanujan’ multi-media lab established last year has been further strengthened. This is rendering great service towards the realization of computer man power development goal which will allow increasing use of Information & Communication Technology (ICT) in our affairs.

University Computer Centre & Tabulation Centre

Ranchi University has a separate fully computerized tabulation center in which the latest software Exsys, prepared by MECON Ltd in collaboration with Ranchi University has been installed. This software takes care of various works related to the Examination Section viz, registration, issuance of admit card, mark sheet, provisional degrees/ certificates (bilingual format with hologram) and migration certificates relating to students.

Courtesy this facility, Ranchi University has not only succeeded in reducing drastically the time factor involved but has also achieved a fair degree of transparency, cost effectiveness and confidentiality. Through the use of a unique watermark and barcode Ranchi University is making sincere efforts to thwart attempts to forge documents. Very soon tabulation centre will be shifted to a new building near multi-purposes examination hall at Morhabadi. This will be equipped with 30 networked computers with necessary peripherals and related software for better management of examination related works.

The present set up with its accessories will be merged with University Computer Centre located at Central Library.
