Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University (PJTSAU) is a state agricultural university located in Hyderabad, Telangana. It serves as one of the principal institutions for higher education, research and extension in agricultural sciences within the state.
The university was established in 2014 following the bifurcation of the erstwhile state of Andhra Pradesh. It was carved out of the earlier Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University, which had served the undivided state, with PJTSAU subsequently catering to the agricultural education and research needs of the newly formed state of Telangana.
The institution is named after Professor Jayashankar, a noted academician associated with the Telangana statehood movement. As a state agricultural university, PJTSAU undertakes academic programmes, research activities and extension services in fields related to agriculture and allied sciences.
