NAAC awards an "A" Grade to MANUU !

Friends the NAAC grading is out ! MANUU has been awarded an 'A' grade with a CGPA of 3.23 by NAAC ..

Just for a comparison, here are the gradings achieved by other Universities of Andhra Pradesh that have opted to go for accreditation:

1. Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, [CGPA 3.65 ; Grading A]
2. Osmania University, Hyderabad [CGPA 3.31 ; Grading A]
3. University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad [CGPA 3.89 ; Grading A]
These are gradings after re-accreditation.

MANUU has achieved a 3.23 CGPA on its first attempt. We all know which areas need imporvement and we should resolve to work on our weaknesses to ensure that we achieve a higher CGPA whenever we go for re-accreditation.

MANUUTA congrats all those involved in bringing this honour to the University.. but then as Robert Frost said.. miles to go before I sleep .. we still have a lot to achieve !

All the best !
