Lords Institute of Engineering and Technology won the team championship at the Osmania University Inter-College Judo Championship.

The results were released with a photograph of the winning Lords squad posing with officials, and the standings leave little doubt about who controlled the mat.

Lightweights set the tone. In the below 60 kg category, Md Ibrahim of Government Degree College, Khairtabad took first place, with Md Sadaf Ali of Lords finishing second. E Charan of BJR and Abdul Qadeer Zumbali of Badruka shared third place. Lords was already in the medal hunt before the heavier divisions began.

The middle weights kept the pressure on. Shaik Sohel of Aurora took first in the below 66 kg division, ahead of Shaik Mujtaba Mohiuddin of MJ Engineering. Md Mujtaba Azhar Hussain of ISL and Shaik Irfan of Anwar-ul-Uloom shared third. In the below 73 kg class, Abdul Malik Bin Saleh Bahawaris of DCET won gold, with Farhan Ahmad Siddique of BJR taking silver. P Karthik of Government Degree College, Khairtabad and Abdul Muqueet Fuzail of Anwar-ul-Uloom shared the bronze.

Lords breaks through in the 81 kg and 90 kg classes. K Gnani Shankar of Vishwabharathi topped the below 81 kg division, with Muzammil Khan of Amjad Ali Khan College second. Mohammed Abrar of MJ Engineering and Shaik Riyan Akif of Lords Engineering shared third. The below 90 kg category was where Lords first took a clear gold. Mohd Armaan Ali of Lords won the title, while Shaik Mohammed Azfar Aazam of Sultan-ul-Uloom finished second. Mishba-us-Hassan Riyan of MJ Engineering and Mohamed Talha of Nawab Shah shared third.

The below 100 kg title went to Lords as well. Ibrahim Ishaq Jabri of Lords won gold, ahead of Mohammed Abdul Numan of MJ Engineering. Habluullan Burhanuddin of CBIT and Fahad Iqbal of Nawab Shah shared the bronze. That result gave Lords a second individual gold in the same meet.

The heaviest class closed the card. In the 100 kg and above division, K Sai Shankar of Nizam College took first place. Syed Abdul Muqeet of Nawab Shah Alam finished second, while Mohammed Siddiq of MJ Engineering and Abdul Moiz of Lords shared third. Lords had a representative on the podium in the heaviest category as well.

What the team standings show

Lords Institute’s team title is the headline, but the individual results explain how it was built. The college placed athletes in the top three of several categories, including second place in the below 60 kg class, third place in the below 81 kg class, two golds in the below 90 kg and below 100 kg divisions, and a bronze in the 100 kg and above class. A team championship in a multi-category sport like judo rewards that kind of spread, because a single strong fighter rarely decides the total on his own.

Muffakham Jah College of Engineering was the other name that appears again and again in the results. Its athletes finished in the medals in the below 66 kg, below 81 kg, below 90 kg, below 100 kg and 100 kg and above categories. That consistency earned the college second place overall, and it made MJ Engineering the most frequent podium presence in the meet after the winners.

Government Degree College, Khairtabad rounded out the top three. Its athletes won the below 60 kg title and took bronze in the below 73 kg category. The college’s standing shows that a campus does not need a long list of medals to reach the team podium if its results are concentrated in the right places.

Why Hyderabad should pay attention

This is an Osmania University event, and the results read like a snapshot of the city’s college judo scene. Engineering colleges, a degree college and several other institutions from Hyderabad appear across the seven weight classes, which suggests the competition is not confined to one campus or one pool of athletes. For students in the city’s colleges, the meet offers a clear benchmark: the teams that finished on top did it by placing fighters across the card, not by relying on a single division.

The question the results raise

The published results do not explain how Lords built a team that won in multiple weight classes, and the report does not describe its training, coaching or selection process. What the numbers do show is a squad that landed in the top three of several divisions, including two golds, at a university tournament where many colleges fielded competitors. That is the kind of depth that makes a team hard to beat, and it leaves the obvious question open for the next meet: can anyone break a sweep this broad?

For now, Lords Institute has the team trophy, the gold medals in two classes, and a clear statement on the Osmania University judo calendar. The rest of the field will have to answer it.
