Should you pick M.Tech Machine Design at ANITS?
This course suits students who want a design-company job and can live in a small industrial town for two years.
Pick it if:
You passed Class 12 in this state: half the seats are Home State, so a rank that misses the Other State list can still get in.
You want design companies, not only service IT: the branch-wise placement table lists the same four design recruiters in each of the last three years.
Your family can pay only per semester: you pay the tuition fee in eight parts, and a request to split it further opens every August.
You want the fee back fast: at the median 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: it has got tougher three years in a row, so last year's number is not a safe rank.
You need a single room from the first year: first-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3.
You want internships in a big city: this is a small industrial town, so the placement cell brings most internships here.
You will decide only after the GATE result result: the APSCHE choice window closes within days of it, so fill your choices before the result comes.
Counsellor's advice
Freeze this branch if round 1 gives it to you on a Home State rank. If you are Other State and below the round 1 close, float it and keep a safer college above it.
M.Tech Machine Design Eligibility▾
Class 12 marks: 75% in Relevant engineering degree. 65% for SC, ST and PwD.
Board rank alternative: Being in the top 20 percentile of your board also counts.
Exam needed: A AP PGECET rank. CRL (your main rank) decides the Other State seats.
Home State quota: Half the seats go to students who passed Class 12 in this state.
M.Tech Machine Design Admission Process▾
Write AP PGECET: Two sessions, January and April. Your best score counts.
Register on APSCHE: APSCHE (the central counselling body) allots every seat here.
Fill choices: List this college and branch high. Freeze keeps the seat, float keeps looking.
Pay the seat fee: Pay within five days of allotment or you lose the seat.
Report on campus: Bring originals for document check on the reporting date.

In short
GVPCE has a slightly tougher close and a higher pay figure, but ANITS costs less. If both allot, pick by lab fit and travel time.
In short
MVGR is easier on rank but costs more and shows lower pay. If ANITS allots, keep this page's seat above it.
In short
Vignan Lara has more seats and an easier close, but the pay figure is lower. If your rank misses ANITS, keep it as a backup.
In short
RVR JC is cheaper and has a slightly easier close. If fee is the main worry, compare the lab work before you lock ANITS.
In short
SRKR shows a little higher pay and a tougher close. If your rank clears only ANITS, take this seat and do not wait.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on ANITS M.Tech Machine Design
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is M.Tech Machine Design at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 1.05 Lakhs and the last batch had a median pay of INR 4.25 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 Home State seat closed at rank 1,500 in round 6 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 get software jobs with design and design and IT support companies that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The NIRF 2025 had a median pay of INR 4.25 LPA, the median was INR 8 LPA and 76% of the batch was placed. If you want a core electronics job instead, this branch is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a small industrial town, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover machine learning and networks, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
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 got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a branch change after year 1 if you want a sibling branch.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 76% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 8 LPA is lower than the average of INR 4.25 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is this branch better than ECE at this college for me?▾
Pick Machine Design if you want a software job and ECE if you want a core electronics job. Machine Design places a bigger share of its batch with design companies, and its closing rank is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want Machine Design, the branch change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the AP PGECET exam and fill this college in your APSCHE choice list. A seat comes in the round your rank clears, and you must accept it and pay the seat fee within the days APSCHE 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 1.05 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 2.25 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
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.
