Despite being one of the youngest, NIT Andhra Pradesh is better than many NITs and competing with the top ones.  NIT Andhra Pradesh has its own permanent campus with decent infrastructural facilities. The campus has seven boys’ and six girls’ hostels. First-year students are allocated four sharing rooms. Second and third-year students get double sharing rooms and fourth-year students get single accommodation.  The institute offers major-minor courses.  NIT AP placement record has been pretty good so far. During the 2021 placement drive, NIT Andhra Pradesh highest package was INR 16 LPA. The average CTC stays around INR 6 LPA.  NIT Andhra Pradesh is one of the fastest-growing NITs with decent academics and placements. 

NIT Tadepalligudem, also known as NIT Andhra, is a good institute for undergraduate programs in engineering. Being a newer NIT, there are some advantages and disadvantages of studying in the institute, and some of them are listed below in the key highlights.  Key Highlights: NIT Andhra provides an excellent academic facility and curriculum to students. The reason behind such excellence is the fact that the institute is mentored by NIT Warangal. There is a difficulty in mess food at NIT Andhra. The quality of food provided in the hostels is not as good as that of other NITs, due to the absence of such good quality chefs as other NITs. The institute provides a good quality hostel in itself. Until a few years back, the institute had its operations on a temporary campus in Vasavi. It is now shifted to a permanent campus. Overall, NIT Andhra provides all facilities almost as good as other NITs for the overall development of students in the institute. Therefore, NIT Andhra is a good institute, where students are quite sure to overcome the little difficulties in living inside the campus and be decent engineers after their graduation.

It is quite unreachable and good faculty is not available too for teaching on time. My sister studies at one of the old NITs which are much better as far as networking and alumni support are concerned; they are better than the NIT you're enquiring about. Its ranking is not clearly available on major ranking platforms also.  Apart from this, you may want to note these down- Do not select any of the following NIT campuses: Andhra Pradesh, Mizoram, Puducherry, Goa, Arunachal Pradesh, and Sikkim. NIT Andhra Pradesh was established in September 2015 and hence, there's a dearth of good companies and excellent jobs. If you're moving there from another state, then I'd advise you to spare the effort because the crowd is not very bright. The central government has not made any provision for the allocation of funds for NIT Andhra Pradesh, but you'd find that huge sums have been invested in IIT Hyderabad and NIT Warangal. However, NIT is still in its developing phase, it has the potential to become as successful as its other namesakes but being new, permanent faculty is still to be recruited, some equipment is missing too, but being dedicated you might excel even there. Now, I hope you'd understand that there are much better institutes in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana like JNTUH, JNTUK, IIT Hyderabad, IIIT Hyderabad etc. Well-known companies would actually like to recruit from these institutions rather than from NIT AP.

Both are very popular institutions in India. NIT Andhra Pradesh carries a brand tag, which might prove to be beneficial further in your career. It will obviously be a better highlight in your resume than only Andhra University. It is suggested that you opt for either NIT AP or Andhra University, whichever suits your requirements. Here’s mentioning some points that might help you select: The branch you are getting plays an important role.  If you are getting your preferred branch at Andhra University, go for it. Because choosing a course you are not interested in, be it in NIT, will be a bad choice. Check which location is more preferable. If you belong to Vizag then it is better to join Andhra University. Take help from your seniors in the college as they could give you proper guidance. Andhra University fee structure is very low compared to NIT AP, this will be helpful for economically backward students. Both AU and NIT AP have excellent and reputed faculty members. Ultimately it won't matter if you join NIT AP or Andhra University. The only thing that will matter is your dedication to your studies and how you enhance your skills to get success in your career.

You can opt for NIT Andhra Pradesh. Now, you may be hesitant about choosing it because it is 2 years younger than IIIT Guwahati. But NIT Andhra Pradesh has both a very good location and faculty. The location of your institute matters since there are few companies that clearly do not visit the North East for placements. Even though IIIT Guwahati does not qualify to be at a very remote location, you will definitely have better options at NIT Andhra Pradesh.  Here are some details about the institutes. Criteria NIT, Andhra Pradesh IIIT, Guwahati Highest CTC INR. 16 LPA INR. 17 LPA Average CTC INR. 6.89 LPA INR. 10.2 LPA Top Recruiters Accenture, Amazon, TCS, TATA Projects TCS, Infosys, Toppr Technologies, Byjus The 2 years gap does not necessarily make noticeable differences, but the location does. For example, NIT Goa is only 7 years old but still has notable placement stats only because of its favorable location. So, if you want to enroll in IIIT, then either IIIT, Trichy, or Sri City can be considered better than IIIT Guwahati. IIIT Guwahati also had poor placements for CSE in recent years.  The final decision is yours, but NIT Andhra is definitely a better choice. 

One of my friends suggests that IIIT Sri City can be a better option than NIT Tadepalligudem. The reason behind her suggesting the same is because the curriculum of IIIT Sri City stands out from NIT Tadepalligudem. The curriculum of IIIT Sri City has been adopted from IIIT Hyderabad, helping it become more distinct than the other. The directors at IIIT Sri City are from IIIT Hyderabad. It is situated in an area that is one of India’s fastest developing SEZ. Categories IIIT Sri City NIT Tadepalligudem Highest CTC 25 LPA 13 LPA Average CTC 7-8 LPA 6 LPA Recruiting Companies L&T, TCS, IBM, Amazon, etc. TCS, Accenture, Deloitte, Blue Global, etc. In recent years, most of the IIITs are doing exceptionally well on the grounds of academics, curriculum, faculty, and more, unlike others. In a nutshell, students who are graduating from this institute are acquiring opportunities in pursuing their post-graduation in some of the most reputed universities, such as CMU. In addition, the infrastructure of the institute is also developing at a faster pace than most of the other institutes which are recently established as well.

When people discuss colleges, they mainly focus on the placement opportunities that a college has to offer and the alumni base it has established. NIT Andhra Pradesh is one of the newer NITs in the country and has a good college campus with average facilities spread over a large area. The faculty members at the college do not have much expertise in the subjects they are concerned with. Although the college is trying to improve its reputation among other NIT’s, it still has a long way to go for better results and placement records. If you can get admission into one of the old NITs then it would be suggested not to opt for NIT Andhra Pradesh as the college is not among the Top 15 NITs of the country.
