Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) registered a sweeping victory in the 2018-19 University of Hyderabad Students Union (UoH SU) elections. The results were declared on Saturday (6 October).

ABVP backed candidates emerged as winners for all the six posts- President, Vice President, General Secretary, Joint Secretary, Sports Secretary and Cultural Secretary- for which elections were held on 5 October. The keenly contested election witnessed a 75 per cent student turnout.

Aarti Nagpal, a PhD Psychology student, bagged the post of SU president by defeating Erram Naveen Kumar of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) backed SFI. This is the second time in the university's history that a woman has become the President of Students Union.
