After the inauguration, all administrative offices including the Vice Chancellor’s office will be shifted to the new campus,” Potti Sreeramulu Telugu University Vice Chancellor, Prof. T Kishen Rao said.
All postgraduate courses and other hostel-related programmes will be offered from the new campus, while the existing campus in Nampally will offer certificate and diploma courses.
“Evening courses will be offered in Nampally campus and regular courses that require hostel facility will be shifted to the new campus,” officials said.
While the university was given ‘B’ grading by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), the varsity officials are making plans to go in for re-accreditation after shifting to the new campus.
The varsity has increased intake from 20 seats to 60 seats in several courses this academic year. Courses like Postgraduation in Journalism, Jyothisha and Telugu Literature has evoked huge response from students.
