Overview of PB Siddhartha College Arts and Science 

The college believes in the axiom 'Enter to learn, leave to serve, and live as Siddharthian'. Siddhartha College, later renamed as Parvathaneni Brahmayya Siddhartha College of Arts & Science, is the first institution to have been started by the Academy in 1975, with 200 students and 15 faculty members. The UGC and Acharya Nagarjuna University, the Parent University in the jurisdiction of which the college operated granted 'autonomy' to undergraduate courses in the year 1988. From this modest beginning, the college has emerged as one of the premier institutions of higher learning in the State, with a present strength of 2,798 students and 114 faculty members. The UGC has recognized the college with potential abilities to attain high standards in teaching, research, and extension activities leading to excellence. This facilitates the college to design, develop and deliver chosen academic programmes.

Students trained in this college will be outstanding in their abilities – curricular, extracurricular activities, and ethical values. The holistic education imparted in this institution enhances the academic abilities along with character making every student perfect. In its long journey of more than forty years, a number of restructured, vocational, and post-graduate courses were started and thousands of students graduated in Arts, Sciences, Commerce, and Management. It is always believed – knowing one's self is the greatest skill in the path to perfection. Excellence by itself does not mean perfection. It is only a cause in perfection. Following this tenet, it is thought that introspection is a necessity and hence the college went for the re-accreditation by the NAAC, since the journey for perfection should go on farther and forever.
