Q: How is the faculty and infrastructure of Andhra University, Visakhapatnam for B.Arch?

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.
