According to my friends studying at Andhra University, it is not upto the mark, a few IT companies visit the institute and a few core companies like Coromandel, Nagarjuna Fertilizer, ITC, and L&T. 

But then, the packages are not higher than INR 8 LPA, even the average package is not more than INR 3.5 LPA; but I guess it's the same in all State Universities because most of the major companies recruit majorly from NITs and IITs.
