Established in the erstwhile Nizam State in the year 1940, the College of Fine Arts is one of the premier institutions of Art which has been rendering continuous service by way of stimulating creative interaction amongst photog-raphers, painters,

sculptors, commercial arts and animators. Taking its roots as a 'School of Arts and Crafts' to promote arts and local crafts, the College has gradually grown in stature as the Govt. College of Arts and Architecture under the management of the Department of Technical Education, Government of Telangana, Hyderabad.

With the establishment of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological Uni-versity in Oct. 1972, the College merged with the university and became a Constituent College of the JNT University.
