Campus
Vadlamudi, near Guntur
Should you pick MCA at Vignan's Lara Institute of Technology & Science?
This course suits graduates who want an IT services job and a low fee near Guntur.
Pick it if:
You want an IT services job after MCA: students name TCS, Accenture and Miraclesoft as companies that hire from this course on campus.
You want the fee back fast: the full fee is INR 1.20 Lakhs against an average offer of INR 3.5 LPA, so the ROI tile shows a big return.
Your APICET rank misses the convenor list: 54 of the 180 seats are Category B seats, and they carry the same yearly tuition fee.
You want a hostel on campus: boys and girls have separate hostels with AC and non-AC rooms, and the mess serves non-veg food on some days.
Skip it if:
You are counting on the 2024 close: the OC closing rank moved from 34,128 in 2024 to 21,382 in 2025, so it got tougher.
You are counting on the state to pay back your fee: the state scheme leaves out PG seats at private colleges, so you pay the full fee yourself.
You want a big-city internship scene: the campus is at Vadlamudi outside Guntur, a town with few IT companies, so internships come through the placement cell.
You want a big first salary: students report the top MCA offer near INR 5 LPA, so this course suits a steady IT services start, not a large package.
Counsellor's advice
If APSCHE allots you this college in phase 1 and your rank is near the 2025 close, take it and report on time. If you are counting on the state to pay back the fee, pay nothing until the college confirms it in writing.

In short
Narasaraopeta Engineering College costs a little less and has the same seats, but its OC seat closed at a tougher rank. If your rank clears both, pick on distance and hostel; if it clears only VLITS, take this seat.
In short
Bapatla Engineering College closed its OC seat at a tougher rank, and its MCA fee and seats are not published. If your rank clears both, ask Bapatla for its fee in writing before you list it above VLITS.
In short
QIS charges the same fee and has the same seats, and its OC close was easier. If your rank misses VLITS, list QIS below it in your web options as the safer choice.

The college offers robust campus placement opportunities, primarily for final-year students, with a placement rate between 60% and 75%.

The average starting salary package is approximately 3.5 LPA, though some students have secured positions with salaries around 5 LPA. Internships are available, notably from Infosys and Wipro, although not consistently across all departments, such as MCA.
The fee structure is tiered, with rank-based admission students paying 33,000 INR annually, including a 6,000 INR maintenance fee, while management students are charged 66,000 INR. With the college's transition to autonomous status, the MCA course fee is now set at 60,000 INR per year, requiring full payment without scholarships. The overall cost of completing education is around 1 lakh INR. Placement efforts are supported by committed placement officers, resulting in successful recruitment drives and job placements for students.
