DR. ABDUL HAQ URDU UNIVERSITY Summary
Dr. Abdul Haq Urdu University is a state university in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, created to expand public higher-education opportunities with a distinctive association with Urdu language and culture. The institution combines Urdu-focused teaching with programmes in economics, commerce, English, computer science, management and selected science subjects, giving it a broader academic role than a language-only university. Its Kurnool location places it within the Rayalaseema region and makes it accessible to students seeking a public university environment that supports Urdu while also offering mainstream academic and professional disciplines. The university’s departments have developed regular classroom teaching, laboratories, library resources and entrance-based admission processes for different programmes. Undergraduate honours offerings include Urdu, Economics, Commerce and Computer Science. Postgraduate programmes include Urdu, Economics, English, Commerce and Business Administration. The Department of Computer Science was established in August 2016. Computer Science developed a dedicated laboratory with internet and Wi-Fi access. The university has offered M.Sc. Computer Science at postgraduate level. Earlier admission prospectuses included integrated science pathways in Botany and Zoology. Regular entrance testing has been used for admission to several undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. The university operates through statutory academic and administrative authorities as an Andhra Pradesh state university. Kurnool provides the institution with a regional base for students from Rayalaseema and neighbouring areas. The university’s multidisciplinary model combines language preservation with commerce, computing, social sciences and management education. Academic development has included the establishment of the Department of Computer Science, a B.Sc. combination in Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science, and M.Sc. Computer Science within the postgraduate structure. These developments complement the university’s Urdu-centered identity with computing, commerce, social-science and management education in Kurnool. Its academic profile therefore connects Urdu-language higher education with practical pathways in computing, business, economics and social sciences for students in the Rayalaseema region.
