Professor Jayashankar Telangana Agricultural University (PJTAU) has announced the third phase of counselling for admissions to vacant seats in BSc (Hons) Agriculture and BTech Food Technology programmes for the 2026-27 academic year on October 14 and 15.
A satellite-based study by PJTAU has found that the cropped area in Telangana was 8–12 percent lower than the total cultivable land during the last Kharif season. The data will help improve crop insurance and delivery of government schemes.
A midnight tree-clearing operation at PJTAU’s botanical garden sparked student protests, drawing parallels to the Kancha Gachibowli deforestation row. Students alleged mass felling ahead of a plantation drive, while the university claimed only harmful species were removed.
Candidates at PJTAU protested after interviews for assistant warden posts were abruptly cancelled without prior notice. While candidates claimed no communication, sources say a postponement notice was uploaded on the university website days earlier, suggesting a communication gap
About 68 per cent of farmers in Telangana are small and marginal farmers, who are more prone to nutritional deficiencies, and there's a need for counselling to address these issues
