Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad (JNTUH) was established on 2 October 1972. It currently operates under the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological Universities Act, 2008 (Act 30 of 2008), effective 18 August 2008, adapted to Telangana state via a government order dated 11 September 2015 following the 2014 state reorganisation. It is a separate institution from JNTU Kakinada and JNTU Anantapur, both based in Andhra Pradesh, sharing no governing body despite a common historical origin.
The university holds NAAC A+ accreditation, CGPA 3.32, Third Cycle. It ranked 81st in NIRF 2025 University category (score 49.22) and 94th in Engineering (score 46.74), both confirmed directly against nirfindia.org.

JNTUH's affiliated network spans Engineering colleges, Pharmacy colleges, and standalone MCA and MBA institutions, alongside its own constituent teaching colleges based primarily at its Kukatpally campus. The university's own current site lists both an "About Us" figure and a separate constituent-college listing that give different counts for its own colleges, a discrepancy this page does not resolve by picking one number.
Admission to B.Tech and B.Pharm programmes, at both JNTUH's own colleges and its affiliated colleges, runs through TG EAPCET, an examination JNTUH itself conducts on behalf of the Telangana Council of Higher Education. M.Tech and M.Pharm admission runs through TG PGECET, also conducted by JNTUH. Part-time and sponsored postgraduate admission runs through separate, university-issued notifications.
| Route | Programmes |
|---|---|
| TG EAPCET, conducted by JNTUH | B.Tech, B.Pharm |
| TG PGECET, conducted by JNTUH | M.Tech, M.Pharm |
| University's own notification | Part-time and sponsored PG programmes |
For the 2026-27 cycle, all three TG EAPCET counselling phases closed by 8 August 2026, with classwork beginning 1 August 2026. As of this writing, a Centralized Internal Sliding round runs 12-17 August 2026, and spot-admission guidelines were due by 16 August 2026, both genuinely current. Separately, JNTUH's own Part-Time PG application window closes 11 August 2026, and a Full-Time M.Tech Sponsored counselling notification issued 6 August 2026 remains open.
Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad ranked 81st in NIRF 2025 University category (score 49.22) and 94th in Engineering (score 46.74), both confirmed directly against nirfindia.org; it falls in the 101-150 band for Overall, a band for which NIRF discloses no exact numeric rank. It holds NAAC A+ accreditation, CGPA 3.32, Third Cycle.
JNTUH's main campus is located at Kukatpally, Hyderabad 500085, Telangana. Its own site and its constituent college's own site state two different campus acreage figures for essentially the same location, and this page does not pick one over the other without a single reconciled official source.
