That, however, could become a thing of the past as the state government is planning to set up a Skill and Entrepreneurship University. Chances are the university will become a reality this financial year. "We are studying the models being followed by various skill universities in the country," Industries Minister P Rajeeve told TNIE.

"In the case of the Skill University in Telangana, the institution comes under the industries department. We are yet to make a decision in this regard."

He said the university is being planned in the Public Private Participation (PPP) model.
