▪️Only Chandalas were not allowed to study in this university. 
▪️Scholars like Nagarjuna. Panini, Chanakya, Prasanajit, Jeevka (son of Bimbisara) all came to this place to study before they became important personalities in Indian history.

▪️In 500 BC, the Hun ruler, Toramana, attacked and demolished the university campus. During that time, most of the records were burnt or destroyed..
