The university will be offering all the PG and PhD programmes from its new campus and the present campus in Nampally will be used for offering postgraduate diploma, certificate,s and other evening courses. The administration will continue to rent out its auditorium on the Nampally campus.

Established through an Act of legislation in 1985, the University was provided 100 acres of government land in Bachupally in 2002. However, the development of the campus was delayed as the allotted land had huge rocks and boulders. While the university administration planned to shift to the new campus for the last Ugadi, the plan could not materialize due to a few pending works.

So far, on given the land, the university administration has established an administrative block, library, Fine Arts College, and hostels meant for both men and women on 30 acres of land. The boy’s hostel can accommodate more than 500 students and the girl’s hostel over 250.

The Telugu University which has been using the Triveni Hostel of Osmania University (OU) for providing accommodation to its students will hand it back to the OU. To help its employees commute to the new campus, the University administration has decided to provide bus facilities for a period of one year.
