SVCET: Admission 2026, Fees, Courses, Cutoff, Ranking, Placement

SVCET Admission Dates 2026

SVCET Chittoor admissions for the 2026-27 session are governed by APSCHE through AP EAPCET (B.Tech), AP PGECET (M.Tech), and AP ICET (MBA/MCA). The SVCET counselling code is SVCT for UG programmes and SVCT1 for PG programmes.

The course-wise examination accepted at SVCET for the 2026-27 cycle is summarised below. SVCET reserves 30% of B.Tech seats under Category B (management quota) for candidates with an AP EAPCET rank and at least 45% in 10+2 PCM.

SVCET Courses and Fees

SVCET offers engineering, management, and diploma programmes at uniform fee points across all branches within each programme level. The B.Tech fee of INR 2,84,800 for four years applies uniformly across all 14 specialisations, including newer streams like AI, Cyber Security, and IoT.

AP fee reimbursement from the Andhra Pradesh government effectively reduces the net cost to zero for eligible SC, ST, BC, EBC, and minority students meeting income criteria. For other students, the B.Tech fee of INR 2.84 Lakhs for four years places SVCET in the mid-range for private engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh.
