JNTUA College of Engineering Anantapur B.Tech Fees 2026

At INR 40,000 total for four years, B.Tech at JNTUA CEA costs less than one semester at many private engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh. The college is an autonomous institution affiliated with Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Anantapur, a state government university. This government character directly shapes the fee structure: funding flows from the state, not tuition, and students benefit accordingly.

The programme runs across six branches — Chemical, Civil, Computer Science, Electrical and Electronics, Electronics and Communication, and Mechanical Engineering. Every branch carries the same fee. A student who shifts branch preference after applying pays no penalty and gains no discount; the INR 40,000 figure holds regardless of choice. Admission is through AP EAPCET. The 2026 cycle ran from May 12 to 20, 2026, with results on June 1, 2026. Registrations were open from February 4 to March 24, 2026. Candidates need a pass in 10+2 with Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry, with at least 45 percent aggregate (40 percent for reserved categories). Counselling and seat allotment are managed by APSCHE.

B.Tech Branches and Fees 2026

JNTUA College of Engineering Anantapur B.Tech Lateral Fees 2026

Diploma holders who clear AP ECET gain direct second-year entry into B.Tech at JNTUA CEA, cutting one full year of study — and INR 10,000 off the total fee. At INR 30,000 total for three years, the lateral route is the most affordable engineering credential available at the college. The fee is uniform across all six branches open to lateral entrants.

Eligibility requires a diploma in the relevant engineering discipline from a recognised polytechnic. Admission is processed through APSCHE counselling after AP ECET results. Lateral entry students join the second year of B.Tech alongside regular students and follow the same curriculum from that point. All branches carry an identical total of INR 30,000, with no additional fee for joining a high-demand branch like CSE or ECE.

JNTUA College of Engineering Anantapur M.Tech Fees 2026

Nine specializations, one fee: INR 60,000 total for two years. The M.Tech programme at JNTUA CEA spans disciplines from VLSI System Design and Digital Electronics to Nanotechnology, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning, and Structural Engineering. Nine specializations at a single fee level is a breadth rarely found at government autonomous colleges in the region.

Admission requires a valid GATE score in the relevant paper. The GATE 2026 exam ran on February 7, 8, 14, and 15, 2026, with results declared on March 19, 2026. Admit cards were available from January 13, 2026. GATE-qualified candidates who receive the AICTE-mandated stipend of INR 12,400 per month over 24 months accumulate INR 2,97,600 in total stipend — nearly five times the entire M.Tech fee. The programme is effectively cost-positive for qualified students receiving the stipend.
