Which B.Tech branch group should you pick at AUCE?
Branch group
Biotechnology
One branch, INR 1.78 Lakhs for four years on a regular seat. OC close 22,725 in 2025.
Pick it if:
You want biology with engineering, not pure code: Visakhapatnam has a large pharma belt at Parawada, the kind of plants a biotechnology graduate trains for.
Your OC rank is near 22,000: Biotechnology closed at 22,725 for the OC open seat in phase 1 of 2025.
Skip it if:
You want a self-support seat as a backup: AUEET seats are sold only in CSE, ECE, Mechanical, Civil and EEE, not in Biotechnology.
You want a pay figure for this branch before you decide: the college reports one median for the whole B.Tech batch and nothing by branch.
Computing
3 branches, INR 1.78 Lakhs each on a regular seat. OC closes 1,043 to 6,933 in 2025.
Pick it if:
Your OC rank is 1,043 or better: CSE is the toughest seat at AUCE, and that was its OC open close in phase 1 of 2025.
You want software product roles: ADP made 35 offers for product development roles in the 2023 campus drive, and Atlassian gave the top offer.
You miss CSE but clear 6,933: Quantum Computing closed at 5,087 and IT at 6,933, so this group stays open well past CSE.
Skip it if:
You plan to buy a self-support CSE seat: it costs INR 2,05,000 a year, and self-support students get no scholarship at all.
You need a hostel room from day one on a self-support seat: the AUEET brochure gives rooms to regular students first and to self-support students only if rooms are left.
Electronics
3 branches, INR 1.78 Lakhs each on a regular seat. OC closes 1,906 to 8,131 in 2025.
Pick it if:
Your OC rank misses CSE but clears 1,906: ECE was the second toughest seat at AUCE in phase 1 of 2025.
You want a big electronics class and alumni base: ECE also sells 60 self-support seats, so it is the largest electronics batch on this campus.
You want a self-support seat as a backup: ECE and EEE both take AUEET seats, at INR 1,55,000 and INR 1,05,000 a year.
Skip it if:
You want to plan on the EEE open close: only the girls seat close of 39,353 was published for EEE in phase 1 of 2025.
You expect Instrumentation to be an easy seat: its OC open close of 8,131 was tougher than Civil at 10,351 and Chemical at 12,533.
Mechanical and marine
2 branches, INR 1.78 Lakhs each on a regular seat. OC closes 7,389 to 11,660 in 2025.
Pick it if:
You want ships and offshore work: Visakhapatnam has Hindustan Shipyard and the Naval Dockyard, the yards Naval Architecture trains its students for.
Your OC rank sits between 7,389 and 11,660: Mechanical closes first and Naval Architecture later, so list them in that order.
You want a self-support seat as a backup: Mechanical takes 30 AUEET seats at INR 1,30,000 a year, and Naval Architecture takes none.
Skip it if:
You expect Naval Architecture to be an easy seat: its OC open close of 11,660 sat close to Civil at 10,351 and ahead of Chemical.
You want a pay figure for Mechanical alone: the college reports one median of INR 6.25 LPA for the whole B.Tech batch.
Civil and earth
3 branches, INR 1.78 Lakhs each on a regular seat. OC closes 10,351 to 69,112 in 2025.
Pick it if:
You want site and construction jobs: L&T Construction made 181 offers across the campus in 2023, more than any other recruiter.
Your OC rank is past 24,000: Geo-Informatics closed at 24,333 and Environmental at 69,112, the easiest seat on the campus.
You want a self-support seat in this group: Civil takes 30 AUEET seats at INR 1,05,000 a year, and the other two take none.
Skip it if:
You want a class of top rankers: Environmental closed at 69,112 for the OC open seat, far behind every other branch here.
You need a hostel room on a self-support Civil seat: the AUEET brochure houses regular students first and self-support students only if rooms are left.
Chemical and materials
2 branches, INR 1.78 Lakhs each on a regular seat. OC closes 12,533 to 21,113 in 2025.
Pick it if:
You want plant and process jobs: Reliance Industries made 21 offers, ITC 20 and JSW 55 in the 2023 campus drive.
Your OC rank sits between 12,533 and 21,113: Chemical and then Metallurgical are the seats that range reached in phase 1 of 2025.
Skip it if:
You want a self-support seat as a backup: neither branch sells AUEET seats, so AP EAPCET is your only way in.
You want a pay figure for your branch: the college reports one median of INR 6.25 LPA for the whole batch and nothing by branch.
Counsellor's advice
If your OC rank clears CSE in phase 1, take it and stop there. If it does not, list the Computing group, then ECE, then the core branches by their 2025 closes; a self-support seat costs up to INR 2,05,000 a year and gets no scholarship.
B.Tech Eligibility▾
Class 12 marks: 45% in Maths, Physics and Chemistry put together. 40% for reserved categories.
Exam needed: An AP EAPCET rank for the regular seats in every branch.
Self-support seats: An AUEET rank, for the paid seats in CSE, ECE, Mechanical, Civil and EEE only.
Same rule, every branch: All 14 branches use the same marks rule; only the closing rank differs.

EDITOR'S NOTE
These are the phase 1 closes of 2025, the safest numbers to plan on. Later phases moved some closes a long way, so keep every branch you would take on your list until the final phase.

One list for every degree; the college does not split it.
Placement insights
L&T Construction made 181 offers and JSW 55 in the 2023 drive, so core firms, not IT service firms, hire the most students here.
The B.Tech batch placed 397 of 423 graduates in 2023 but 291 of 520 in 2025, as far more chose higher studies.
The median pay rose from INR 5.88 LPA for the 2023 batch to INR 6.25 LPA for 2024 and stayed there for 2025.
Atlassian gave the top 2023 offer of INR 84.5 LPA and Samsung R&D paid INR 22 LPA to three students, but such offers are few.
Visakhapatnam has the Vizag Steel Plant, an HPCL refinery and Hindustan Shipyard, the kind of plants the core branches train for.
Good to know
The 2023 report lists more than 120 campus drives and over 1,400 offers across all degrees.
At least 600 of the 2023 campus offers paid INR 6 LPA or more.
The pay figure here is the median first-year salary the college reports to NIRF.

In short
GVPCE places a bigger share of its batch but costs INR 2.42 Lakhs more and pays a lower median. If your rank clears CSE at both, AUCE gives you more for less.
In short
JNTUK UCEK closes CSE at almost the same rank and places a bigger share, with a lower median. If you clear both, pick on city and branch; the pay is close.
In short
JNTUA CEA is far easier to get into for CSE and places a bigger share, but pays less. Keep it below AUCE on your list if your rank is past AUCE's closes.
In short
SVCE Tirupati places the biggest share but costs more and pays the lowest median. If AUCE gives you any branch you want, take the AUCE seat first.
FAQs on Andhra University College of Engineering B.Tech
Short answers to what students ask before they apply.
How do I get a B.Tech seat at AUCE?▾
Write AP EAPCET, register for APSCHE counselling and list AUCE branches in your web options. The seat goes to the highest branch your rank clears in that phase. Self-report online and join the college by the date given, or the seat goes to the next rank.
Is the fee the same for every branch?▾
Yes, on a regular seat. Tuition is INR 44,500 a year, or INR 1.78 Lakhs for four years, in every branch. Self-support seats cost more and differ by branch, from INR 1,05,000 to INR 2,05,000 a year.
What does a self-support CSE seat cost?▾
INR 2,05,000 a year in tuition, plus a special fee of INR 1,760 a year and INR 3,000 once. That comes to INR 8.30 Lakhs over four years, and no scholarship covers it.
Which branch is the easiest to get?▾
Environmental closed last in phase 1 of 2025, at 69,112 for the OC open seat. Geo-Informatics and Biotechnology came next. The branch list above shows every closing rank.
Which branch is the hardest to get?▾
CSE, which closed at 1,043 for the OC open seat in phase 1 of 2025. ECE came next at 1,906.
Does pay differ by branch?▾
The college reports one median for the whole B.Tech batch: INR 6.25 LPA for the Class of 2025, with 56% of the batch placed. Nothing is published by branch.
Can the scholarship cover my whole fee?▾
Yes. If you are an AP student on a regular seat and your family earns up to INR 2.5 Lakhs a year, the AP post-matric scholarship pays your full tuition. It does not cover self-support seats.
How do I order my branch list?▾
Put the branches you want most first, whatever their closes. Then add every other branch you would take, so a later phase can still give you a seat. Leave out any branch you would not join.
