Anurag University, located in the Ghatkesar area near Hyderabad, is a significant Private University in Telangana. While it gained university status relatively recently (around 2020 via the Telangana Private Universities Act), its origins go back further. It evolved from the well-established Anurag Group of Institutions (AGI), founded in 2002, which was already known for its strong engineering college (CVSR College of Engineering).
The university builds upon AGI's legacy, particularly in engineering and pharmacy, expanding its offerings to become a multi-disciplinary institution. Its mission focuses on providing quality technical and professional education, fostering research and innovation, and developing industry-ready graduates.
Key Recognitions:
Established by the Telangana State Legislature Act.
Recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC).
Holds approvals from relevant professional bodies like the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Pharmacy Council of India (PCI).
Accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with an 'A' Grade.
Many of its engineering programs often hold accreditation from the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), a strong indicator of technical education quality.
