NICMAR University of Construction Studies, Hyderabad is a specialized private university at Shamirpet in Medchal-Malkajgiri district, Telangana. The institution became a state private university in 2024, building on the long-standing Hyderabad presence of the National Institute of Construction Management and Research. NICMAR itself was founded in 1983 by the construction industry as a nonprofit organization devoted to education, training, research and professional development in construction and allied sectors. The Hyderabad university focuses on the built environment, construction, project management, infrastructure and related management disciplines. Its schools include construction and technology and project-management-oriented academic units, with postgraduate and professional programmes designed around the needs of complex projects and infrastructure organizations. Teaching is closely connected with industry practice, sustainability, project leadership, contracts, technology and the management of built assets. The Shamirpet campus provides residential and academic facilities within a purpose-built environment. The university's transformation from an established NICMAR campus into a degree-granting state private university gives it an unusual institutional profile: it combines a 1983 national professional legacy with a 2024 Telangana university status. Research, executive education, industry engagement and professional networking remain central to its identity. The institution therefore serves a specialized higher-education niche rather than attempting to mirror a broad conventional university. Became a state private university in Telangana in 2024.
