UPES B.Tech Admissions 2026
ApplyRanked #43 among Engineering colleges in India by NIRF | Highest Package 1.3 CR , 100% Placements
Hello,
With an AP EAMCET rank of 118677 as an ST candidate, it's unlikely to get a seat in VIT-AP through AP EAMCET for popular branches like CSE or ECE.
However, there's a possibility of getting a seat in less competitive branches or in later counseling rounds, especially considering the 35 percent seat reservation for EAMCET candidates at VIT AP.
Thank you!!
Between VIT-AP (Bhimavaram campus does not exist, you may mean VIT-AP Amaravati) offering IT (Information Technology) and SRKR Engineering College (Bhimavaram) offering AIDS (Artificial Intelligence and Data Science), here is a simple comparison to help you:
VIT-AP (IT Course)
It is part of the VIT group, which has a national brand name. VIT-AP is new but growing. IT course at VIT gives good exposure to coding, software development, internships, and projects. VIT also has centralized placement from Vellore main campus which supports AP campus to an extent. Facilities are modern. Some big companies do visit.
SRKR (AIDS Course)
SRKR is a well-established college in Andhra Pradesh. The AIDS course is new but becoming popular. SRKR has a strong academic base, and local companies do come for placements. The AIDS course focuses more on machine learning, AI, and future tech. Teaching is good but placements are more limited compared to VIT.
Which is better?
If you want a better campus, national brand, and more chances for software jobs, choose VIT-AP IT.
If you want to stay local and focus on AI-related career and are okay with medium-level placements, then SRKR AIDS is also a good choice.
For future growth, VIT-AP IT may give you more exposure and flexibility for higher studies or job opportunities.

Hello Sudhakar,
Your EAMCET rank is 7549 and you belong to the BC-B category, you have decent chances to get CSE with AI & ML at VIT-AP, especially in later rounds of counselling. However, cutoffs are not fixed and change every year based on a number of factors like available seats, number of candidates applied and category-wise distributions. So keep your horizon open and also consider backup branches.
Hello student,
With a rank of 3,000 in AP EAMCET 2025, you have a good chance of securing a seat in the CSE branch at both VIT-AP and SRM AP universities.
VIT-AP and SRM AP both reserve a portion of their seats for AP EAMCET (now AP EAPCET) candidates.
It's recommended to check the previous year's cutoffs for VIT AP and SRM AP on their official website or use can check it on our website Careers360 also

Thank you!!
With a 19743 rank in AP EAPCET 2025, BC-D(Female) category, and AU region, your chances of getting CSE core or its specializations at VIT-AP are moderate to low, depending on seat availability.
VIT-AP fills most seats through VITEEE(their own entrance exam), but a few seats are allotted through AP EAPCET under the convener quota. In past years cutoff for CSE at VIT-AP through EAPCET for BC-D female was typically below 15,000-17,000. You may get specializations.
Hello,
Between VIT Chennai and SRM Kattankulathur for Electronics Engineering with VLSI specialisation, VIT Chennai is generally better in terms of:
Placements: VIT has a slightly better placement record, especially for core electronics and VLSI roles.
Core companies: More core and semiconductor companies like Intel, NXP, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments tend to visit VIT (mostly Vellore, but some do come to Chennai as well).
Reputation: VIT has better industry recognition and alumni network in the core field.
So, if you are focused on VLSI and core job roles, VIT Chennai is a better option than SRM Kattankulathur .
Hope it helps !
VIT AP is a private university located in Andhra Pradesh and it falls under the APSCHE regulations for unaided institutions. Therefore CAP quota is applicable there as well. If you belong to defence personnel family and fulfil domicile rules, you may apply under CAP category at VIT AP during counselling and seat allotment process .You just need to provide proper documents like defence service certificate, CAP domicile proof, and other papers at the time of admission. They will give you seat under CAP category and you will pay fees like others. This is good opportunity for students from military families in Andhra Pradesh.
Good afternoon
Yes, the CAP or CAF reservation does apply to VIT AP counselling.
You must go through the state convenor process, not through direct admission, VITEEE, or the management quota.
Make sure you have the following:
A valid defence service certificate
Andhra Pradesh domicile
Properly completed the choice filling during counselling
It also requires more than five years of residence in Andhra Pradesh along with a valid defence certificate.

The infrastructure of our college is excellent with a big campus for the students to explore. Hostel facilities and canteen is really good but the food should be more hygienically made with care. It also has well designed gyms, sports area, libraries and laboratories.
Academic buildings are good, classrooms are large to accomodate lots of students, labs are ac and well equipped. Hostel facilities are good ranging from 1-6 bed ac/non-ac rooms with wifi service. Mess food is decent with good variety. Laundry and transport services are available on campus. Sports facilities, gym, library, etc are available.
VIT Vellore’s M.Tech Biotech has awesome infrastructure. Labs got latest equipment like PCR, bioreactors, makes practicals smooth. Library huge, tons of books, fast wifi. AC classrooms with smart boards. Hostels clean, but summer water shortage. Mess food okay, sports ground big.
