This accreditation has given a major fillip to staff and students for further culminating educational excellence in the due course of time.
 The Historic backdrop of the College
An eminent freedom fighter, Sri Pallerla Hanumantha Rao and other philanthropists of Mahaboobnagar have conceived the idea of incarnating Mahaboobnagar Vidhya Samithi which led to the formation of MVS Arts & Science College in the year 1965. Initially, it commenced operations as a private college which has acquired 2(f) status on 01 July 1965 and 12 ( b ) status on 17 June 1972. The seamless public interest and local participation mooted the state government of Andhra Pradesh to take over the ownership of the college on 19 October 1979 and declared it as the Government Degree College. It was affiliated to Osmania University, Hyderabad for quit long time and ultimately decided by the government of Andhra Pradesh to shift the affiliation to Palamuru University with effect from June 2012.
