Should you pick M.Tech Data Science at Anil Neerukonda Institute of Technology & Sciences?
This course suits students who want data science jobs and can study near Visakhapatnam for two years.
Pick it if:
You have an AP PGECET rank: state counselling gives the seat, so keep ANITS high before web options close.
You want product and IT jobs: Amazon, Infosys, Virtusa, TCS, Wipro, Oracle and IBM appear on the branch placement pages.
Your family can pay in parts: you pay the tuition fee in four semester parts across two years.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You are counting on last year's closing rank: rank 858 is not a safe target if seats close earlier this year.
You need a campus hostel promise: the official course page publishes tuition clearly, but hostel seats need a separate check.
You want a metro campus: ANITS is near Visakhapatnam, so most internships come through the placement cell.
You will miss web options: the option window closes on 24 Sep 2026, and choices freeze after that date.
Counsellor's advice
Freeze this seat if your rank clears the General close by a clear margin. If you are near rank 858, keep a safer choice above it.

In short
GVPCE pays a little more but has a tougher closing rank and higher fee. If your rank clears both, compare the exact specialisation first; if it clears only ANITS, take this seat.
In short
GMRIT has an easier closing rank but costs more and pays less on average. If ANITS clears, keep it higher; use GMRIT as the backup choice.
In short
Raghu EC is easier to get but its pay figure is lower and the fee is close. If ANITS appears in your allotment, take it before waiting for Raghu EC.
In short
VIIT is in the same city and has a slightly easier cutoff, but ANITS has the lower fee and higher pay figure. Keep VIIT just below it.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on Anil Neerukonda Institute of Technology & Sciences M.Tech Data Science
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is M.Tech Data Science at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 86,000 and the last batch averaged INR 4.5 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my rank is just above the closing rank?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General state quota seat closed at rank 858 in last round and it got tougher three years in a row, so a rank that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the rank checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students look at software, analytics and IT services jobs after this course. The latest two-year PG batch had INR 4.5 LPA median pay and 87% placement. If you want a pure research path instead, check the project guide and lab work before you join.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a sure hostel seat or a metro campus. The fee page publishes tuition clearly, but hostel seats need a separate check with the college. ANITS is near Visakhapatnam, so internships usually come through the placement cell and local company links. Check both before paying the first fee.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from the first year. The course has data science labs, electives and a final project. That helps if you want a PhD or a research job later. Ask the department early for a guide, because the project topic will matter more than a classroom mark.
Should I wait a year and try for a better rank?▾
Only if you can raise your rank by a lot, not a little. The General closing rank is 858, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff and want Data Science, take the seat now and focus on projects from semester 1.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 87% of the latest two-year PG batch was placed, and the median is INR 4.5 LPA. Keep your CGPA above the company cutoff. Join the placement training when the cell calls for it.
Is Data Science better than AI and ML at this college for me?▾
Pick Data Science if you want analytics, data engineering and machine learning work. Pick AI and ML if you want a stronger focus on model building. Both are M.Tech seats at ANITS, so compare the syllabus and project guide before locking web options.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the AP PGECET exam and fill this college in your AP PGECET counselling choice list. A seat comes in the round your rank clears, and you must accept it and pay the seat fee within the days AP PGECET counselling gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 2-year fee is INR 86,000 without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 2.46 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year. Check the official fee page once before payment.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
