Answered Questions
Osmania University - [OU]: 27 answered questions
Ques
Which is better, JNTUH or OU?
Ans
It depends on the course. For technical and engineering courses, JNTUH is the better option. Osmania University is better for non-technical courses. It also has a good placement record. During the 2021 placement drive, three students from CSE, received placement offers from Microsoft with a placement package of around INR 41 LPA.
Ques
I have 433 rank in TSPGECET in the ECE branch. Can I get a seat in the OU or the JNTUH?
Ans
I know a few people from JNTUH and here is what I gathered from the conversations I had with them regarding the M.Tech admission process in Telangana State Universities like OU or JNTUH.
It is very difficult to get admission to state universities with 433 ranks unless you have a reservation or quota.
My cousin wrote the TS PGECET when he got the 50th rank in the exam. He was quite sure he will get a decent branch at JNTUH. However, after counseling, he got a VLSI design course in VNRVJIET.
We inquired about this and got to know that at state universities like JNTUH and OS, the priority is given to the GATE exam candidates, and then the leftover seats are given to TS PGECET rank holders.
If you want to join a state university I will suggest you write the GATE exam and try to get all India rank below 1000. If you want to study only at Osmania University then try to get all India rank below 5000 as there is a very high competition for this university because of nominal semester fees. Many students compete to join Osmania University because of its prime location in Hyderabad and very low tuition fee and hostel fee. There were even intense situations where students from NIT Warangal left their seats to join OS, for its location and low tuition fee.
So, if you want to do an M. Tech course in state universities in Telangana It is better to write the GATE exam and get a good rank in all India.
Ques
Is doing an M.Tech (EC) better at OU or at JNTUH ?
Ans
Doing an M.Tech in EC is better at JNTUH. Though Osmania University is an old institution with a history of more than 100 years, it lacks in PG and Ph.D. courses.
JNTUH on the contrary has a good reputation along with great infrastructure and strict guidelines in terms of the faculty members. The university cross-checks the background of each faculty member who will be teaching the students every year.
The following table shows a brief insight into both institutions:

In terms of curriculum, JNTUH follows the latest syllabus and has a strict attendance system. It has a biometric attendance system and you can be detained if you have less than 75% attendance. If you are looking forward for higher education in engineering, go for JNTUH.
Ques
How can I get Osmania University transcripts?
Ans
From Nov 1, 2017, the process has changed to get the transcripts or memos from Osmania University. Here is the whole process in brief.
Go to this website.
Select the Examination branch.
Choose the online services tab – Apply for certificates online. Osmania University is a link.
You must first register with a mobile number, Aadhaar number, and date of birth.
Once you've registered, an SMS with a password will be sent to your phone.
After you provide your date of birth, the website immediately reflects all of the various courses you have completed once you log in. However, new ones can be added.
Choose which transcripts you want to request. The file size should be as small as possible, no larger than 100 KB, and only JPEG files are accepted.
You must upload the required documents online and pay Rs 1100 or Rs 1600 for the expedited process for the consolidated memo.
Individual memo prices vary.
However, the expedited procedure does not work. It displays an error message.
Only Indian credit or debit cards are accepted. Not all banks are available for electronic transactions.
I hope this clears your doubts.
Ques
Is JNTUH correction better or OU correction better?
Ans
Both JNTUH and OU are very good and reputed institutes, but there is no certain answer to which one is better in terms of correction.
They hire lecturers for correction from the affiliated colleges of the same university and they are paid per answer booklet.
They are given around 6-10 mins to evaluate each paper which you took around 2-3 hours to write down.
The correction will majorly depend on what the candidate has written in the answer sheet.
The answer script of JNTUH is generally very long compared to OU and this might be the reason why the evaluation is not very good at JNTUH.
It becomes difficult to properly check all the answers within 10 mins.
But now things have been improved a lot at JNTUH with the efforts in streamlining the things in the examination branch.
Hence, there is no such clear winner on which correction is better, but if you write down your answers properly with good handwriting, then you are very likely to score good marks.
Ques
What is your review of Osmania University?
Ans
Osmania University, in my opinion, is a place where you can learn anything you want. Be it academics, politics, or your other goals. There are numerous resources available at OU that you can use to advance your career. The location of OU is its greatest asset. If you are stressed or bored with your daily routine, you can take a bus and be at RTC X-roads, the land of theaters, in 10 minutes. Even walking from OU to X-roads will take less than 25 minutes. Tired of the same old food? Just put your legs outside your room, and you'll have a plethora of restaurants to choose from. Biryani BAWARCHI, the king of Hyderabad Biryani, is also located on RTC-X roads.
If you like reading, you can go to Central Library or Landscape, which are opposite each other. If you want to be an IAS officer, there are excellent coaching institutes like RC REDDY in RTC X-Roads. You can also enjoy some colorful scenery on campus.
Ques
How good is an MBA from Osmania University?
Ans
There is a huge difference between the educational establishment of Osmania University than what you will usually find in other institutes. However, if you are searching for an academic backdrop concerning a corporate lifestyle, then you should rather choose to join other B-schools. Here are some things I got to know about it online.
The study standpoint is quite different in Osmania University.
This university would not necessarily spoon feed the choices you have in hand, and will rather spend time crafting you to make choices on your own.
The infrastructure of the university is quite good.
But when talking about whether a student wants to prepare for government examinations, or the stream they have pursued usually only depends upon the selection they put in prior.
This university comes with an upper hand because it provides students ample opportunities to redeem themselves from their mistakes, in their academic life.
In terms of the liberty students generally have access to, Osmania University tends to put freedom prior to unjust restrictions.
The university, other than the few mentioned above, inculcates general leadership skills in students to improve their way of living or conducting life, both socially and personally.
An MBA graduate from the university will unquestionably have all the required skills necessary for the corporate industry.
Ques
How do I get admission in Osmania University for an M.Tech?
Ans
Admission to Osmania University is done through the OU-PGCET exam, and admission is based on rank. In general, admissions to M.Tech programs in India will be based on GATE scores.
Entrance examinations for Osmania University will be held in Telangana State, and you will be able to join the course based on your rank in the relevant subject and the availability of seats.
Ques
How do I track the status of an applied certificate on the website of Osmania University?
Ans
There is no tracking facility available on the Osmania University website. Usually, the university takes around 15 days or more to send the certificate. You can call the examination branch to know the status of your application. You can also visit the university personally to get information about the same.
Ques
How do I get a seat in Osmania University for a degree?
Ans
Osmania University offers post-graduate and Ph.D. degrees only. Students who have completed their graduation are eligible for these courses. Admission is done based on the performance of students in OU PGCET. For this year, OU PGCET will be in June 2022.
But constituent colleges of Osmania University offer undergraduate courses. Admission to these courses is based on merit and entrance test score.
