ABOUT HYDERABAD

Founded by Quli Qutub Shah in 1591, this large metropolis is unique in its rich architectural glory and blend of
diverse linguistic, religious and ethnic groups and is an ideal place indeed to locate a Central University. The
weather for most part of the year is pleasant except for the months of April and May when the temperature is likely
to go up to 40°C. The intellectual climate is vibrant. Hyderabad is home to nine major Universities and several
research institutions, laboratories and libraries.
