Should you pick B.Tech + M.Tech CSE at Andhra University?
This course suits students who want an AU degree and can study in Visakhapatnam for six years.
Pick it if:
You want the AU route: AUEET rank and AU counselling decide this self-support CSE seat, so no outside counselling is needed.
You want software with a public university name: AU has a long alumni base and NIRF lists UG median pay at INR 6.25 LPA.
Your family can pay yearly: the brochure lists INR 2.05 Lakhs each year, so plan the fee before counselling.
You want a larger CSE pool: the Phase III list still showed 285 CSE seats before that round.
Skip it if:
You need a low-fee seat: the brochure says self-support students do not get fee support for this course.
You want only four years: the M.Tech part adds two more years if you continue after B.Tech.
You count on top software pay: NIRF gives the UG median as INR 6.25 LPA, not a top offer.
You may miss reporting: AU cancels the seat if certificates or fee payment are not done on time.
Counsellor's advice
If you want AU CSE and can pay the yearly fee, take it after checking the hostel allotment. If you need fee support, keep a lower-cost seat above it.

In short
Visakhapatnam costs less and pays more on average, but its closing rank is about 3,000 places tougher. If your rank clears both, take Visakhapatnam; if it clears only Andhra University, take this seat and do not wait for the spot round.
In short
Visakhapatnam places more of its batch but charges INR 75,000 more over six years and pays a little less. If its easier closing rank is what you need, keep it one place below Andhra University in your choice list as the safer seat.
In short
ANITS has a lower fee and a higher guide closing rank, but fewer seats. If Andhra University gives you the AU name you want, keep it higher.
In short
Vizianagaram costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier closing rank. If your rank misses Andhra University in the early rounds, list Vizianagaram right below it and take whichever comes first.
In short
GVPCE costs less and has a higher pay figure, but Andhra University has more seats. If you want the AU route, keep Andhra University higher.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on Andhra University B.Tech + M.Tech CSE
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is B.Tech + M.Tech CSE at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 12.30 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 6.25 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my rank is just above the closing rank?▾
Not on last year's number alone. AU lists vacancies by category, so the last safe rank changes each phase. Keep this college in your list with a safer option above it, and use the rank checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get software jobs with IT services, public sector and software teams that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The NIRF 2026 lists a median pay of INR 6.25 LPA, the median was INR 6.25 LPA and 56% of the batch was placed. If you want a core electronics job instead, this branch is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a port city, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a another seat.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover machine learning and networks, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better rank?▾
Only if you can raise your rank by a lot, not a little. The General closing rank got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a branch change after year 1 if you want a sibling branch.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 56% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 6.25 LPA is lower than the median pay of INR 6.25 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is this branch better than ECE at this college for me?▾
Pick CSE if you want a software job and ECE if you want a core electronics job. CSE places a bigger share of its batch with software employers, and its closing rank is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want CSE, the branch change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the AUEET exam and fill this college in your AUEET counselling choice list. A seat comes in the round your rank clears, and you must accept it and pay the seat fee within the days AUEET counselling gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 6-year fee is INR 12.30 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 17.10 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
Andhra University is renowned for its excellent placement opportunities, with initial salary packages reaching up to 30 lakhs per annum. Even for students who do not obtain a job through campus placements, the university's certificate significantly boosts employability. The fee for the Computer Science and Engineering course is 2 lakhs per annum, which is justified by the high-quality education provided.
Additionally, the university is well-regarded for the opportunities it offers in scholarships and placements, with its certificate being pivotal in obtaining scholarships and securing lucrative jobs.
