Nagarjuna University, an affiliating University established in 1976, started with only 10 post-graduate courses in the University College, which have been in existence right from 1967 when it was a part of the Andhra University as Post-Graduate Centre in Nallapadu, Guntur. Since then, it has achieved tremendous progress through quantitative expansion and qualitative improvements on various academic fronts.  This has been possible by the efforts of its dedicated faculty, an efficient team of supporting staff and high quality student input.  The University at present offers post-graduate education in 44 courses (35 on the University campus, 4 at University PG Centre at Nuzvid and 5 at University PG Centre at Ongole) besides Post-graduate courses in affiliated colleges.
