Hyderabad: Osmania University has approved a new budget of Rs 815 crore for the upcoming financial year 2025-26. The decision was made during the University’s Academic Senate meeting held on Sunday.
During the meeting, the university reviewed its financial situation. It expects to receive Rs 772.54 crore in income, while its spending is projected to be Rs 815.69 crore. This means the university is looking at a possible deficit of Rs 43.15 crore.
The budget was presented by Professor Ch. Sailu from the University College of Technology and Professor Sreeramlu from the Department of Business Management. The total budget of Rs 750.81 crore is planned to support academic growth and improve infrastructure across the campus.
Even though the university is expecting a deficit in its main fund, it also expects some surpluses from other sources. For example, the Exam Fee Fund is expected to bring in Rs 313.52 crore and spend Rs 312.86 crore, resulting in a small surplus of Rs 0.66 crore. Self-financing courses are also expected to generate Rs 64.90 crore in income, with expenses of Rs 48.10 crore, leading to a surplus of Rs 16.80 crore.
These additional funds will help reduce the overall deficit. The university says this financial plan shows its strong commitment to using its resources wisely and investing in areas that will improve education and research.
