Hey Keano. Even though the name of the university says “Hyderabad”, these buildings are actually outside the municipal limits of Hyderabad. I called this out at the top of the submission details. Couldn’t edit the main title to remove Hyderabad though.

Keano · #4 Posted **Jun 30, 2026, 4:19 PM**

I see, the building names misled me..

For a New City a separate request form is need, perhaps then the buildings can be transferred

Is there any criteria for how large a city needs to be in order to be added to SkyscraperPage? Kandi, where this university is located, is actually a tiny village apart from this university campus.

Hello.
Any critera would depend on the country, I say.
In this case, Kandi can be it's own entry: https://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?cityID=9046

The IIT entries can either be moved to the new city entry, or new building entries can be created while the old entries get deleted.

Thank you for creating the city entry, Anders. Could you also please move these buildings from Hyderabad to Kandi? Thank you.

All 21 buildings moved to Kandi - https://skyscraperpage.com/cities/maps/?cityID=9046&lat=17.5922267584&lng=78.1228487447&z=15

Please always try to avoid deleting building entries if they can be moved! It may take some time but post them for correction and I will get to them.

Thank you, Dylan!
