Andhra University Overview

Established in 1926, Andhra University (AU) is a 98-year-old higher education institution that is considered as one of the country's oldest educational institutions. The university is the first to be conceived as a residential and teaching-cum-affiliating university. Mainly devoted to postgraduate teaching and research, Andhra University came into being after a prolonged and collective struggle of the Telugu elite for a university in the educationally backward northern Circars and Ceded districts of the erstwhile Madras Presidency.

Sir C.R. Reddy was Andhra University’s founder and Vice-Chancellor. Former President of India, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan succeeded Dr C. R. Reddy as Vice-Chancellor in 1931. Moreover, the university is fortunate to engage the services of famous educationists such as Dr T.R. Seshadri, Dr S. Bhagavantham, Professor Hiren Mukherjee, Professor Humayan Kabir, and Dr V.K.R.V. Rao. 

Andhra University currently has  58 departments, 16 specialized research centres, 188 ICT enabled classrooms, state -of the-art of computer and GIS laboratories and 76 seminar halls. The campus is spread across an area of 425 acres.

The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) has accredited the university with an ‘A++' grade with a score of 3.60, attesting to the quality of higher education provided by the university.
