it is absolutely good for placements.
Placements: It’s been normal up to now, but I will get more information in the future. For my super seniors, they got good placement offers. The highest maybe 12 LPA or 15 LPA, and the lowest is 3 LPA. Most recruiting is Accenture. They hired more than 10 members from my college.
Infrastructure: It is so-so, which only contains a few things in labs, etc. Facilities in the hostel are not very bad, but I can't say it is fabulous. Labs don’t contain everything, but it can be better to have them.
Faculty: They are good, helpful, and qualified teachers or professors. They teach us not very badly, but it is good to learn from them. It should be wonderful to participate in every programme conducted for fests, which is so lovely and memorable. Semester exams are tough, though, with a 90 percent pass percentage. Faculty are friendly and they teach nicely, but some have some temper.
Other: It was very fun in my college during festivals or fests. We celebrate grandly every year for two days.

Absolutely good college if you have average budget for studies, provides decent companies.
Placements: I'm currently pursuing B. Tech in Anil Neerukonda Institute of Technology and Sciences in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Only 10 percent of students are placed in the EEE department. The average is 4.2 LPA, the lowest is 3.3 LPA, and the highest is 6 LPA. Till now, Infosys took more members for the system engineer role.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is good. Facilities like water, classrooms, boards, and projectors are available. Recently, they are providing smart tv's in college, which helps a lot to teachers as well as students. The library is pretty good with Wi-Fi availability, and also a digital library is available till 7 pm every day. Free news in the digital library, good water facility. Hostel food I would rate 3/5, it's average. But hostel rooms are good with good ventilation, providing fans, washing machines, and snacks in the evening. Facilities are good also, food quality but taste is average in my opinion.
Faculty: Teachers are highly experienced in their respective fields, highly knowledgeable, explain analytical questions. They are not rude, always available, and the curriculum is good too. They are adding new concepts like prompt engineer and introduction to robotics. When it comes to difficulty of semester exams, it's medium. Pass percentage is nearly 80 percent, not sure but approximate value.
Other: I'm studying in the Electrical and Electronics Engineering department, currently in 4th year. The best things about the course is it's conceptual and will make huge role in day-to-day life. Electrical engineering is evergreen. Curriculum should be more updated to the present market. Campus is not too crowded, it's good, and ANITS is a beautiful college. It has an outdoor ground, basketball ground, indoor badminton ground, and indoor grounds too.

Our college has decent and average placements, but average infrastructure.
Placements: Our college provides decent and average placements, especially for CSE and ECE students. Around 40 - 60% of students get placed every year, and the placements cell conducts average training sessions, average mock interviews, and no technical workshops. Our college offers the highest package of 5-7 LPA, and the average package is 2- 3.5 LPA.
Infrastructure: My college's infrastructure is average compared to other engineering colleges in Visakhapatnam. Classrooms are average in our college, with only a few classrooms better, like the projector room. Labs have the necessary equipment, though some systems are outdated and need upgrades. The Wi-Fi connectivity on campus is manageable and only for staff rooms, but not very fast. There are no hostels in our college.
Faculty: In our college, the faculty is supportive and approachable, especially in core subjects, but only a few students. Some faculty are young and non-knowledgeable. The curriculum follows the AU pattern, but our college does not properly follow the curriculum and is not industry-aligned. Exams are conducted regularly with internal assessment and lab evaluation, but average in labs.

Q:   How is the faculty and infrastructure of Andhra University, Visakhapatnam for B.Arch?
A: 
Hi, I was there for 7 years both as a student and then as a lecturer from 1955 till December 1962. It was a golden era when Dr. VS Krishna was the VC, with the best Registrar Gopala Swamy Naidu, and outstanding faculty from all over India. There were many visiting faculties from the West as well. It certainly produced the best graduates in India and some of them migrated to all parts of the world, reaching the highest positions wherever they settled. I wish the best for the future of the Institute and its faculty and students. 1) One of the oldest universities in the country and the top government college in the state. 2) It has got a better ranking overall for the entire University (but again the ranking of engineering college alone is not that good) 3) There are limited students per class, there are only 30 seats in each department and 60 in a few. 4) Library: Every department in the University has got its own department library which comprises all the essential course materials and access to various e-books and journals. Apart from that, we have got the Central Engineering library where there are multiple copies of books which allows you to draw books, and apart from that we have got the central library in South campus which is one of its kind which is well known for the vast volumes it has got. 5) The overall area of the campus is around 600 acres, the engineering college had an area of about 110 acres including hostels. 6) Engineering College has got one of the biggest grounds in the city, we also have a basketball court and gym where you can access all the equipment without paying any extra money. 7) NCC and NSS: Students here got the provision to be in one of them, the centers of NCC and NSS are there within the University. 8) Internet connectivity: University has got one of the best internet connectivity, all the students are allowed to access the Wi-Fi. 9) Alumni: The University has got the strongest Alumni base, most of the Alumni of the University are in great positions and you get a chance to interact with them if you are fortunate enough. Most of the Alumni were known to hold positions such as chief directors in many companies here and abroad. The Alumni have contributed and are part of the university's overall development in terms of providing infrastructure and providing other facilities. Some of them are even good at providing placements too.
