Kakatiya University

Kakatiya University in Warangal, established in 1976 and named after the dynasty that once ruled the region, is the major state university of northern Telangana. It holds an A+ grade from NAAC and spans an unusually wide range for a regional university, from commerce and law to pharmacy and management, with its pharmacy and management courses among the better-known professional offerings. Warangal is Telangana's second major city, significantly cheaper than Hyderabad and well connected to it by rail. As a state university its fees remain low across programmes. It suits students from the Telangana districts who want an affordable public university with professional-course options close to home, including those planning postgraduate study or state service examinations after their degree.
