Admission to Andhra University involves taking the AP EAMCET or AUEET exams, with seat allocation based on rank. The university is recognized for its experienced faculty, especially in the Geo Engineering department, though it currently has only three professors. Tuition for EAMCET students is Rs. 10,000 annually, with an optional government fee reimbursement. Hostel fees range from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 30,000 per year, while AUEET students pay Rs. 150,000 per year.
Additional costs include a Rs. 9,000 building fee and Rs. 1,500 per semester exam fee. In 2016, placements were below expectations, though companies like Wipro and Infosys participated, and salaries ranged from 3.2 to 3.5 lakhs per annum. Some multinational companies offered up to 5 lakhs annually. Core job opportunities were limited, but software and IT sectors had wider availability. The university offers no direct scholarships, but research scholars receive stipends of 5,000 to 15,000 INR.
The state government provides scholarships based on merit and community for economically weaker students, including the Jagananna Vidya Deevena and Vasathi Deevena schemes.
