About JUAAH

Jadavpur University Alumni Association Hyderabad Chapter

Jadavpur University has today established itself as an internationally acclaimed university committed towards advanced study and research. It offers a vast repertoire of transformational courses, employs the best minds in its faculty and produces some of the greatest talent that propel organizations in and beyond India. Thanks to the efforts of these accomplished individuals the JU Alumni Association in Hyderabad was born in the mid 1970s. The aim of the organization – to ensure that the knowledge, character and relations developed within the ramparts of one of the most respected colleges in the country do not fade away amid the monotony of everyday life. Most of the office bearers are renowned technocrats with national recognition in defense and public/private sectors. Under the able guidance of our President, Secretary and the Executive Committee, we hope to carry forward the mission to contribute our bit to the academic and cultural community.
