The University College of Technology is one of the campus colleges of Osmania University accorded with autonomous status.

Established in 1969 the University College of Technology is one of the premier and the oldest colleges offering Chemical Engineering and Chemical Technology education in the country.

The College of Technology had a modest beginning in 1943 as a post-graduate section of Applied Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry, Osmania University. Later in 1945, it was upgraded to the Department of Applied Chemistry.

In 1951, the subject of Chemical Engineering was introduced and the Department was redesignated as the Department of Chemical Technology. In 1954, four year degree courses were introduced leading to the Bachelors’ degrees in Chemical Technology and Chemical Engineering. In 1965 it was recognized as Department of Technology. In September 1969, the University upgraded the Department of Technology to University College of Technology to form a strong academic nucleus of Chemical Engineering / Chemical Technology and also to serve as a nodal point for disseminating the technical know-how to various research institutions and industries.

In order to meet the changing requirements of the country, the B.Tech. degree courses in Food Processing and Preservation Technology and Textile Technology were started in the College during 1994-95. B.Tech Food Processing and Preservation Technology is now changed to B.Tech Food Technology.
