About the Journal

Telangana Journal of Higher Education (TJHE)

Telangana Journal of Higher Education is a peer-reviewed academic journal published twice a year, in June and December, by the Telangana Council of Higher Education. It brings together research on teaching, policy, learning and governance, with a focus on Higher Education in India. It publishes original work across fields such as pedagogy, law, technology, sociology, architecture and curriculum reform.

TJHE accepts different forms of academic writing. They include research studies, reviews of literature or policy, theoretical papers, case studies and articles based on personal learning and reflection. All submissions must meet academic standards and follow the journal guidelines.

TJHE encourages writing that questions old models and opens up new ways of thinking about Higher Education. It supports work that draws on more than one field of study and promotes inclusivity and interdisciplinarity. It also invites work that links classroom teaching with research and practical knowledge.

TJHE pays particular attention to the role of digital tools and new technologies in education. It endeavours to bring together scholars, teachers and decision-makers who are interested in the future of Higher Education and wish to share their ideas with a wider audience.
