The university has already identified land at Ibrahimpatnam, near Hyderabad

Mewar University of Chittorgarh in Rajasthan has announced its plans to set up a campus at Hyderabad in the next 18-24 months. The university has already identified land at Ibrahimpatnam and the project would see an investment of Rs 15 crore, said its chairperson Ashok Kumar Gadiya.

The Hyderabad campus will have facilities essential for PhD research programmes, engineering department, humanities, management education among others. “We want to develop the campus to serve as a hub for the entire south,” he said.

The private university is promoted by the Mewar Education Society.   Currently, at least 1,000 students from Andhra Pradesh are enrolled in its BTech programme. The management, therefore, expects a good student turnout for its campus here. As part of its expansion, it launched its information, R&D centre here today. The centre will serve the purpose of research scholars registered with the university from AP. It also plans to start skill development courses to improve employability opportunities. Speaking to the media, Gadiya said, “our goal is to craft industry-ready talent. For this, we had inked tie-ups with national and international research institutions, National Skill Development Centre and MSME.”

He said they were considering to work with the state to recognise the listed goals under the SC/ST subplan, particularly on the aspects of skill enhancement and employability.
