Two early issues of Takkali were distributed in 1965 before the university opened and were described as a "report to convocation."

In addition to official announcements, Takkali contained news of scholarly and academic activities such as appointments, and promotions, awarding of tenure, resignations, publications, papers presented at conferences, and research grants received.
