School of Management Studies University of Hyderabad

The University of Hyderabad, a premier institution of post graduate teaching and research in the country, was established by an Act of Parliament on 2nd October, 1974 as a Central University. The serene campus of the University, located on a sprawling 2300 acres, on the old Mumbai Highway, Gachibowli, provides the right learning ambience. The University also has a city campus “The Golden Threshold”, the heritage building of the late Sarojini Naidu which was bequeathed to the University by her daughter, the late Padmaja Naidu. The UGC has identified the University as one of the five exclusive Universities in the country with Potential for Excellence (UPE), and provided special funding for all its overall development for a period of five years (2002-07). The UPE programme of the UGC has been successfully completed with the sanctioned amount of Rs. 30.00 crores during this period. The final report of various projects under UPE has been sent to UGC and the University is hoping to be declared “ University of Excellence” with increased budgetary support by the UGC.
