Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technology

About University

Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (RGUKT), Hyderabad was established to provide high quality educational opportunities for the aimed rural youth of Andhra Pradesh. The initial goal was that at least the top 1 % of the rural graduates would be given the opportunity to study at RGUKT. The university was initially known as IIITs, which was established at the request of the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. He was dissatisfied with the opportunities available to the rural youth and wanted to set up at least three IIITs in the three regions of Andhra Pradesh which would ensure better opportunities for rural students.
