PREFACE ^ ‘ ,. r:;; : " uvrs Andhra Pradesh has always been in the forefront in the matter of welcoming meaningful improvements in Higher Education. It has been credited with several firsts in the past too and continues to take the lead in experimenting, innovating and in providing greater access to quality education. In order to offer reliable and authentic information on Higher Education in the State, an attempt is made here to provide University wise, District wise and Region wise data on Colleges, Courses, fee structure etc., in an exhaustive manner to the extent possible. It is our hope that given the constant support, cooperation from the Universities and Colleges, this initiative could be fine-tuned periodically to serve the interests of students and the public at large. I do hope that, this attempt would culminate into a year book on Higher Education in the years to come to provide a comprehensive understanding on higher education to the stakeholders. A word about Higher Education stakeholders in Andhra Pradesh is relevant here. Andhra Pradesh has witnessed a phenomenal expansion of Higher Education opportunities in General, Professional and Technical Education in particular during the last decade. The State has been very proactive in adjusting itself to the structural changes taking place globally in the field of Higher Education. The State has adopted in line with globally tested strategy of Private participation in shifting Higher Education from a supply-driven strategy to a demand-driven approved model. There are 19 Universities, 2 Central Universities, 5 Deemed Universities, 2 Institutions established under State Legislature Act and 1670 Degree Colleges, 269 Engineering Colleges, 381 MCA Colleges and 278 MBA Colleges in the State. The expansion at the turn of the last century was unprecedented. And yet with a total enrolment figure of over six lakhs, our position in terms of the percentage of entire population is far from satisfactory. We still have a long way to go in the matter of providing wider access and equal opportunity in terms of global standards. It is agreed by both academics and policy makers that it is only through Higher Education that we can make development participatory through improved social base of democracy. Improved access to higher education will not only make the citizens responsible but will make them critical agents in the development process. We need to reiterate in this connection that, only quality and excellence in higher education would stand us in good stead and nothing else should merit our attention. The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education(APSCHE), a coordinating and planning body, is the first institution that was established in India during 1988 as a response to the 1986 Education Policy to liaise between the University Grants Commission, the State Government and the Universities. It has a mandate to coordinate and determine standards in institutions of Higher Education. The APSCHE will to strive ceaselessly to carryforward the ideal of collegiality in its pursuit of excellence in the field of Higher Education. Hyderabad Prof. K.C. Reddy November 2006 Chairman A.P.
