Mata Gujri University is a state private university in Kishanganj, Bihar, sponsored by Mata Gujri Memorial Medical College and L.S.K. Hospital Trust. The university was established under the Bihar Private Universities Act, 2013, with a state notification dated 20 February 2019. Its location in northeastern Bihar places it near the West Bengal border and gives it a distinctive regional healthcare and education role. The university's academic profile is strongly connected with medical and health-professions education. Its institutional ecosystem includes medical education and hospital services, together with pharmacy, nursing, paramedical and other professional programmes. This clinical base allows students in health-related disciplines to learn within an environment connected to patient care and hospital practice. The university also supports academic administration, examinations, research and quality-assurance structures across its constituent units. Mata Gujri University's development is rooted in the pre-existing Mata Gujri Memorial Medical College and L.S.K. Hospital Trust, which served as the sponsoring body for the university. The 2019 notification brought these educational and healthcare activities within a broader statutory university framework. Subsequent development has focused on organizing faculties, expanding professional programmes and strengthening internal quality systems while maintaining the institution's central medical and healthcare orientation in Kishanganj. Before university status — Mata Gujri Memorial Medical College and L.S.K. Hospital developed medical education and healthcare services in Kishanganj. Bihar's private-university legislation created the statutory framework under which the university would later be established. 20 February 2019 — The Government of Bihar issued the notification establishing Mata Gujri University.
