1. The University – A Brief Profile

Acharya Nagarjuna University was established by the Act of Andhra Pradesh

Legislative Assembly in the year 1976 upgrading the then Andhra university Postgraduate
Centre fulfilling the desire of the local public in promoting higher education at University
level with effect from 19-08-1976 and was inaugurated on 11-09-1976 by the then President
of India, Dr Fakruddin Ali Ahmed. University was named after the famous Buddhist scholar,
philosopher, Physician – cum-Chemist Acharya Nagarjuna, who was regarded as the second
Buddha. Consequently, the Government of Andhra Pradesh has allotted about 297 acres of
land adjacent to Kolkata- Chennai National Highway(NH-5) in between the two prominent
education/commercial and politically elite cities of Andhra Pradesh, viz., Guntur and
Vijayawada. The University has granted affiliation to about 350 undergraduates colleges, 80
postgraduate colleges,12 Engineering colleges and 28 Pharmacy colleges.

The University has been continuously achieving progress during the last 34 years. The
Policy of the University is to encourage the University colleges and the affiliated Colleges to
introduce job-oriented courses at the Degree and Post-Graduate levels.

The University has ensured that, while there is a need for quantitative improvement
with the increasing demand for higher education, from the Community at large, the quality of
education offered at various levels is also maintained at a high level. The University has been
striving to maintain high academic standards in consonance with quantitative increase in the
number of students being enrolled every year.

Teaching and Research are the two eyes and twin goals of the faculty in University
Colleges. The research Programmes carried out in the various Departments cover both
fundamental and applied areas. The academic Departments seek to find a reasonable and
useful balance between the world of Knowledge and its use and application in a more
concrete and realized form. The research Programmes and Course content focus on these
issues and attempt to find solutions, so that feedback obtained by such an interaction could be
used to bridge the gap between learning and its utility value.

The University balances the old values with the modern developments, so much so it
has been living up to its motto that everything is established in Truth, ”SATYE SARVAM
PRATISHTITAM”, by presenting an integral vision of education and a holistic approach to
learning.

One more branch viz., Mechanical Engineering was added during the year 2010.

Dr.Y.S.Rajasekhara Reddy, the then Chief Minister laid the foundation for the establishment
of this College on 28-1-2009.

The Campus life in the University Engineering College is enriched by a team of teachers to
guide the students to excel in their academic and extracurricular pursuit. The curriculum provides a
continuous student evaluation to maximize learning and to assimilate the fundamental concepts to
meet the challenging needs of the industry.

University Engineering College is attracting the attention of the student community, the
academic and the industry alike through its innovative curricula, excellent infrastructure and
