The college focused on engineering education modelled on the French grande école tradition while remaining affiliated to JNTU Hyderabad.

The university is organised into multiple schools, which include programmes in:
It awards Bachelor's, Master's and doctoral degrees, and conducts admissions to its engineering programmes through national entrance examinations along with its own selection process.
The campus is situated on the northern outskirts of Hyderabad, near Bahadurpally, within the Medchal–Malkajgiri district. The site houses academic blocks, laboratories, residential facilities for students and faculty, and recreational infrastructure.
Mahindra University is among the private universities promoted by major Indian industrial groups in Telangana, and continues the legacy of its predecessor in offering an internationally oriented engineering education. Its expansion into law, management, liberal arts and design positioned it as a multidisciplinary institution within the Hyderabad higher-education ecosystem.
