Should you pick B.Tech CSE at Adarsh College of Engineering?
This course suits students who want an IT services job and a low fee in the Kakinada area.
Pick it if:
Your AP EAPCET rank is close to 102,835: the OC seat closed there in the 2025 final phase, so phase 1 is worth a try.
You want an IT services job: TCS, Infosys, Wipro and Cognizant hire from this campus, and most offers are service company jobs.
Your family income is up to INR 2.5 Lakhs: the state can pay your full tuition fee if you are SC, ST, BC, minority or Kapu.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay of INR 3.6 LPA, the full fee comes back within the first working year.
Skip it if:
You want a product company job: the average pay across all branches is INR 3.6 LPA, so big offers are few.
You need the hostel fee before you decide: the college has not published it, so call the office and ask before you take the seat.
You want internships in a big city: the campus is at Gollaprolu near Kakinada, a small town, so the placement cell brings most internships.
You plan to wait for phase 2: the 2025 OC close was much tougher than in 2024, so take a phase 1 seat.
Counsellor's advice
If phase 1 gives you ACEE CSE and you want a service company job, take the seat. Ask the office for the hostel fee before you pay.

FAQs on Adarsh College of Engineering B.Tech CSE
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is B.Tech CSE at ACEE worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who want an IT services job. The full fee without hostel is INR 1.60 Lakhs and the college reports an average pay of INR 3.6 LPA, so the fee can come back within the first working year. Check the tuition fee scheme in the scholarship block above, because it can bring your fee down to nothing.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most placed students join IT service companies. TCS, Infosys, Wipro and Cognizant hire from this campus, and the college reports an average pay of INR 3.6 LPA across all branches. If you want a product company job, build your coding skills from year 2 and apply on your own as well.
Should I take this seat if my rank is near the closing rank?▾
Yes, if phase 1 gives it to you. The OC seat closed at rank 102,835 in the 2025 final phase, which was much tougher than the 2024 phase 2 close. Do not wait for a later phase to get easier, and use the rank checker above for your own category.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you want a product company job or internships in a big city. The college reports placements for all branches together, and most offers are service company jobs. The campus is near Kakinada, so most internships come through the placement cell. If either matters most to you, look at a college in a bigger city.
Is CSE better than ECE at ACEE for me?▾
Pick CSE if you want a software job and ECE if you want an electronics job. Most companies that hire on this campus are IT service firms, and those roles suit CSE students. If you are not sure, talk to the department before you enter your web options.
Is this course good for higher studies?▾
Yes, if you plan for it early. JNTU Kakinada gives the degree and AICTE approves the college, so you can write GATE or apply for a master's abroad. Keep your marks steady from year 1 and do a strong final year project, because both matter for admission.
Should I wait a year and try for a better rank?▾
Only if you can improve your rank by a lot. The 2025 OC close was tougher than the 2024 close, so a small gain may not change much. If you already clear the phase 1 range in the rank checker above, take the seat now.
Will I get a placement if I am an average student?▾
Most likely, but you need to prepare. The college reports that 91% of its students were placed, and most offers come from IT service companies. Attend the placement training, keep your marks steady and practise coding and aptitude from year 2.
How do I get admission to B.Tech CSE at ACEE?▾
Write AP EAPCET and register for the counselling that APSCHE holds online. Enter ACEE CSE in your web options. If you get the seat, pay the fee and self-report online, then report at the college with your original certificates, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full four-year fee is INR 1.60 Lakhs without hostel, at INR 40,000 a year. With the counselling fee it comes to INR 1.61 Lakhs. The new fee for the next batch is not final yet, so check the fee block above before you pay.
Can the state pay my tuition fee?▾
Yes, if your family income is up to INR 2.5 Lakhs a year and you are from SC, ST, BC, minority or Kapu groups. The state tuition fee scheme then pays the full tuition fee. Apply on the Jnanabhumi portal after you join, and keep your income certificate ready.
Does the college have a hostel?▾
Yes. Boys and girls have separate hostels inside the campus. The college has not published the hostel fee, so ask the office for the amount and the mess charges before you take the seat.
The college offers a balanced mix of experienced and less experienced faculty, with the computer science department being notably strong in teaching and student development, including organizing industrial visits. The faculty-to-student ratio is 1:30, and faculty members like Dr. Y.V.N. Rajasekhar, Sravani, and Ramya Sree are well-regarded. Although the academic workload is challenging, the college provides placement opportunities with companies such as Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, and Genpact. About 70% of students secure placements, with salaries ranging from 3 to 10 LPA.
Placement eligibility begins in the third semester, offering roles like software trainee positions with stipends of 28,000 rupees. While the college lacks direct internships, it supports placement classes and projects. The college's fee structure is relatively low, despite additional charges for CRT classes and fests. General engineering students pay Rs 30,000 to Rs 40,000 annually, with additional fees for labs and buses. Management fees reach up to Rs 40,000, and NRI/B-category students pay between Rs 77,000 and Rs 90,000, with an overall tuition cost averaging Rs 1.5 lakh.
Although the college does not currently offer loan facilities, it plans to introduce them. Scholarships are available through the AP government's Jagananna Vidya Deevena program and based on academic performance. The college's placement efforts mainly benefit computer science and engineering students, with project stipends reaching up to Rs 15,000.
