University College For Women ( Koti Women's College ) (Hyderabad)

 university college, degree college, women's / girl's college

Enter Koti Womens' from the backdoor, and it's like stepping through to the other side of the looking-glass. Just a long, cracking perimeter wall separates the entropy of the main road from the tranquil sanctuary of deep groves and shrubbery inside. It's almost like a terrarium in one's backyard - a little enclosure of captured nature. Within the undergrowth is the entire foodchain, sneaking in and out of the thickets: monkeys, waterbirds, snakes and rodents.
The Koti Women's College structure was built in 1803 by Lt. Samuel Russell for the British resident Kirkpatrick. The college moved here in 1949 when the Nawab Ali Yaver Jung, who lived here, gave it to them.

The buildings today are a diorama (a model representing a scene with three-dimensional figures, either in miniature or as a large-scale museum exhibit.

From the new, bleached white buildings of the Science block to the laboratories in the still serviceable barrack-like Nizam time quarters; from the mud and pigeon-feather encrusted meshes of the Geography department to the enormous Durbar chamber chandeliers that look like a set of rotting teeth with their blackening and missing crystals.
For education, Koti Women's offers everything there is to study in Hyderabad, and much more. The self-supporting courses like Masters in Analytical Chemistry, Biotech, Information Sciences and Nutrition cost higher, while the regular ones are inexpensive, given the government financing. The college has rather pro-actively started tie-ups with industry in areas like animation, real-time embedded systems etc. to offer cutting-edge courses. Companies like Rocksys and Color Chips have been roped into these programs.

Placements, consequently, aren't too much of a problem. Between the call-center recruiting spate and the hi-tech companies who need skills like those taught here, the girls don't seem to have much to worry about.
The hostel, which can accommodate about 200 students, is rather inexpensive too, at around Rs. 500 per month.
