1. HISTORY
1.1 THE BEGINNING
It was in 1989 that Ramesh Nimmatoori, a young post-graduate in Computer Science and Engineering, dared to
dream. He made a humble but determined beginning with Aurora Degree College, set up under the aegis of the
Aurora Educational Society. The college had four departments, namely mathematics, computer science, statistics,
and electronics, with 62 students. They were housed in a rented premises in the then suburban locality of
Habsiguda. The college was later shifted to Gandhinagar, but by December 1992, the college moved to its
current location at Chikkadpally, a bustling area in the heart of the city.
1.2 THE LEAP
In 1993, two new departments were added -- biological sciences and commerce. The student strength rose to
600 that year. From then on, there was no looking back and by 1998, the Degree College had more than 2000
students enrolled in various branches of study, and is now rated among the top 20 degree colleges in the
country. In 1995, the Aurora Educational Society established a postgraduate college which offered two
programmes, namely, Master of Computer Applications and Master of Business Administration. In 1998,
Aurora touched new heights when it established its engineering college on a sprawling 600 acre campus. It
was a bold venture in the area of higher education. Not long after, four more engineering colleges came up,
followed closely by two postgraduate colleges. Today, Aurora happens to be one of the largest educational
groups in the state of Andhra Pradesh, with 17000 students on its rolls, more than 1400 faculty and around 500
administrative staff.
1.3 THE NAME AND LOGO
Aurora the name for the college derives from aurora borealis, the celestial northern lights. It also has
association with the Sun God Apollo and the Roman Goddess of Dawn, Aurora. The name symbolises the
fusion of Indian and Western traditions of representing the Sun as a symbol of knowledge and power.
Education is a penance for knowledge and Aurora treats it thus. The logo has three critical components -- the
Italian colours lilac and wild pink; the Egyptian pyramid signifying the letter A, and most importantly, the logo
being emblematic of the spirit of the college i.e. the temple of learning.
1.4 THE ICON AND HERITAGE
Aurora is inspired by the great Indian Teacher Chanakya, who redefined the role of a teacher as being that of
a torchbearer of society. He gave the clarion call Tasmat Uttishta Bharata Oh Indian, Awake! Seeking
inspiration from this great Indian, Aurora imparts man-making education which is firmly rooted in Indias rich
tradition, with our focus clearly on modern science & technology.
1.5 THE TRADITIONS
Aurora is known for establishing unique traditions in every aspect of its functioning. Be it pedagogical
practices, advertising strategies, discipline, extra curricular activities and events, Aurora is in the forefront.
Today, it is no exaggeration that people across the country believe that Aurora is a trendsetter.
1.6 THE CULTURE
Aurora nurtures a knowledge culture. It facilitates in tapping the latent potential of both the students and the
staff. Auroras students and faculty command a distinct recognition among their peers and counterparts. It is
this unique culture which has become the hallmark of Aurora.

2.2 THE GOAL
In seeking to fulfill its comprehensive mission, Aurora pursues three principal institutional goals: effective

Aurora is committed to the transmission of knowledge. The Institutions primary responsibility is

concern of the Institution is, therefore, excellence in those instructional activities that provide
students with opportunities for a comprehensive education and a specialized professional training.
The Institution assigns substantial weight to teaching in its process of faculty evaluation,
recognizing that excellence requires not only knowledge on the part of a teacher but a continuing
quest for knowledge, a constant review of curricula and modern teaching methods, flexibility and
creativity in the classroom, and an unceasing effort to individualize instruction. Towards this end,
Aurora seeks to measure the quality of instruction through both student and peer evaluation, and
regularly subject its academic programs to external review by accrediting agencies.
