History

Khallikote University was started as a school in 1856 and became an intermediate College in 1878, being named Native College. It was renamed Khallikote College in 1893, commemorating a donation of 16.5 acres (0.067 km2) of land by the Raja of Khallikote.[1] It was affiliated to Utkal University until 1967, when Berhampur University was established. Through these years the college was managed by a private trust named K. C. Trust, until management was taken over by the Government of Odisha in 1971. Autonomy was conferred in 1990. The college has been upgraded to a university on 30 May 2015.[1]
