St. Francis has the distinction of being the first college in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad to implement autonomy, which was conferred on the college by the University Grants Commission, through letter no. 724 – 7/87(NFC) dated 9th May 1988. Last year, the post graduate courses were declared to be autonomous. While the college remains affiliated to Osmania University, it has autonomy in matters of:

• Curriculum design
• Pattern of examinations
• Evaluation
• Admission of students

Autonomy brought in its wake a new wave of creativity. The college follows a choice and credit-based semester system. The highlights of the changes under autonomy are:

• The curriculum has been designed to include projects.
• Presentations, slip tests, quiz and other such forms of testing are used to assess the extent of student learning.
• Classroom sessions are technology-assisted and learner-centric.
• We emphasize continuous assessment to ensure consistent academic performance.
• Quality assurance through IQAC.
