1. Odantapuri
Odantpuri could not attain that level of fame and repute which either Nalanda or Vikramshila had accomplished. Still nearly 1000 monks and students resided and received education there.
This was established by Dharmapala of Pala dynasty during late 8th century in Magadha.
According to the ancient Tibetan records there were about 12,000 students studying at this university.
2. Somapura
This again was established by Dharmapala of Pala dynasty during late 8th century in Bengal. The University spread over 27 acres of land of which the main complex was one of the largest of its kind.
It was a major center of learning for Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism. Ornamental terracotta on its outer walls depicts the influence of these three traditions
3.Nadia
Nadia was formerly called Navadweep. It is situated at the confluence of the Ganga and Jalangi rivers in Bengal. It was the center of trade and commerce as well as learning and culture.
The importance of Nadia grew still more as a result of the downfall of Nalanda and Vikramshila and it began to be regarded as an eminent center of Hindu culture and education.
