Give three of its special features?
Solution
Nalanda University provided various facilities to the students for their studies. There were three great libraries called Ratnasagar, Ratnodadhi, and Ratnaranjak. There were more than 10,000 students including teachers of all kinds. They came from Korea, Mongolia, Japan, China, Tibet, Ceylon, and various parts of India. The subjects of study at Nalanda University were all four Vedas, logic, grammar, medicine, samkya, yoga, Nyaya, and the Buddhist works of the different schools. It was not an ordinary university. It was a post-graduate institution to which admission was very difficult. Before admission, an examination was held in which hardly 20% students passed and the rest of 80% were rejected. Only the most brilliants were admitted to the University.
