Prakasam Engineering College

Prakasam Engineering College (PEC) is worth the praise mostly in the region because of its strong engineering emphasis and a healthy academic atmosphere. Although the college does not have the same pan-India appeal as some of the best engineering colleges in India, it is still quite a popular option among the students in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The college has several undergraduate and postgraduate engineering courses with a decent infrastructure which comprises laboratories, a library and sportsmanship too.

With known companies like Cognizant and IBM coming for placements and other activities, the PEC has a pretty good standing concerning its faculty, campus facilities as well as placements. Although not known as some other bigger institutions, PEC must be considered a viable option for the people in this area where quality engineering schools are rather few.

Yes, one can get admission to B.E/B.Tech at Prakasam Engineering College through lateral entry. The condition is one must pass a 3-year Diploma programme or some other equivalent programme in the relevant field with a minimum of 45%. 

After that, one must qualify for AP-ECET exam conducted by the government of Andhra Pradesh. After you score the required marks, you need to apply for the college and then admission will be done through web counselling. 

According to UGC, 10% of seats are reserved for lateral entry candidates. So, Prakasam Engineering College offers 600 seats for B.Tech courses, i.e., some 60 seats are reserved for B.Tech lateral entry candidates. The fee for the B.Tech course is INR 43,000 per year at Prakasam Engineering College.

I hope it will help.
