UoH: UGC Grants Grade-One Autonomy

Recognition of high academic standards, best practices & quality research

The strength of University of Hyderabad are its students, faculty and non-teaching staff.

Grade One Autonomy for UoHThe University Grants Commission has granted Grade-I autonomy to University of Hyderabad for maintaining high academic standards. 

The autonomy provides University of Hyderabad greater autonomy in academic, administrative, and financial matters.

Reacting to the honour, Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Appa Rao Podile thanked students, faculty, and administrative staff for their consistent efforts that enabled the University to become one of the top universities in the country.

“I am acutely aware that this greater autonomy comes with the weight of responsibilities and expectations. The University of Hyderabad, through its teaching, research, and outreach activities, has been constantly setting high standards for itself. While we can justifiably take pride in what we have achieved so far, this new recognition should serve as an incentive to work even harder to achieve global benchmarks of excellence in higher education,” he added.

“There are no doubt challenges ahead, including mobilizing resources, offering competitive postgraduate and research programmes, and attracting the best academic talent, while not losing sight of the public university’s social responsibilities and commitment to social justice and equity,” he said.
