Under-Graduate programs and 42 Post-Graduate programs. Andhra University College of
Engineering (Autonomous) is also accredited by the NAAC with an 'A' grade and its 16
Engineering Post-Graduate programs are approved by the AICTE and also accredited by the
NBA; 7 Departments for five years and 2 Departments for three years. It is also selected as one
of the lead institute under TEQIP and has also been selected as one of the institute considered
for upgradation to IIT status out of the seven institutes selected from all over India. Andhra
University College of Engineering (A) is also one of the most preferred colleges by NRI
students. The college has 333 Ph.D. scholars who are actively engaged in research. Its faculty
and scholars have published 1,556 research papers in National / International Journals and
Conference proceedings during the last five years and 406 research scholars were awarded
Ph.D. degrees.
ABOUT VISAKHAPATNAM
Visakhapatnam is geographically located on the East Coast of India at the vantage point of
almost at the center of the East Coast line between the two IITs (IIT-Kharagpur and IITMadras). Visakhapatnam is an ever expanding industrial city and located in the north-eastern
region of Andhra Pradesh and is on the shores of the Bay of Bengal. Once ruled by the Andhra
kings of Vengi, the Cholas and the Gangas, this port city is bound to keep you enthralled.
