Greetings!
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the ICFAI Foundation for Higher Education
(IFHE) declared as a Deemed-to-be University established under section 3 of the UGC
Act, 1956.
IFHE is a premier Educational Institution in Telangana State which is accredited by NAAC
with ‘A’ grade. It is dedicated to the cause of teaching and research of global standards.
It offers B.Sc, B.Tech, B.Arch, M.Tech, BBA, BBA-LLB (Hons), BA-LLB (Hons), LLM, MBA
and Ph.D. programs. The students are from all parts of India. In fact, there is a mini India
on the campus. The University has student strength of about 6,100 and faculty strength

Dr. A.Vadivel
Dean, IcfaiTech
IcfaiTech follows semester system with continuous and Internal Evaluation. The educational programs are
modular, flexible, and interdisciplinary in nature.
IcfaiTech operates educational programs at three tiers of education, namely, the integrated first degree
programs, higher degree programs and the doctoral programs.
All four year and three year integrated first degree programs are designed with a broad based curriculum.
Broad based curriculum ensures certain number of common courses to all the students who are pursuing
different degree programs in Engineering and Science. The courses are broadly grouped into various
categories as Analysis Oriented Courses, Discipline Courses, Humanities and Social Sciences. This broad
spectrum of courses enables the students to get a strong foundation in training in inter-disciplinary areas.
The major advantage of this commonality among all students provides easy professional linkage,
communication and group activity, thereby ensuring best possible peer group learning. This broad based
curriculum is further welded in stronger professional bond when students work as interns during the
internship program or as members in a team working on time bound research and development projects.
This interdisciplinary nature of the courses offered is not just restricted to the first degree programs. This
philosophy is also carried over to the higher degree programs and the doctoral programs as well.
The educational process at IcfaiTech is embedded Engineering is an innovative program being offered
