Andhra University - [AU], Visakhapatnam - Placement Details and Companies Visiting

The placements for MBA at Andhra University are good when compared to engineering. However, do not expect a package of more than 5 LPA. 

You should be well prepared for the online exam conducted from the first semester itself. The rounds involve - Online test, a Technical round, and afterward an HR round.

You are advised to prepare for aptitude well. One of the recommended books would be Arun Sharma Quant’s book for CAT for the online examination. Try to solve LOD 1 and LOD 2 and learn advanced excel for the technical round. It would be advised to clear the basic concepts of their stream of study.

Other good companies visiting the campus for hiring are Bajaj, Innova source, Spinco, IBM, Infosys, Wipro, Accenture, Mu sigma, etc.

According to my friends studying at Andhra University, it is not upto the mark, a few IT companies visit the institute and a few core companies like Coromandel, Nagarjuna Fertilizer, ITC, and L&T. 

But then, the packages are not higher than INR 8 LPA, even the average package is not more than INR 3.5 LPA; but I guess it's the same in all State Universities because most of the major companies recruit majorly from NITs and IITs.

Students often feel that the placements are often exaggerated in AU. If you are from CSE, ECE, or IST, you will have more chances at reputed firms such as Infosys, Wipro, TCS, FTD, IBM, Accenture, etc with packages ranging from INR 3-10 LPA. More than 75% of students get placed in campus hiring at the end of their graduation.

But if you are from any core branch-like chemical, mechanical, marine, etc, then you will be called for interview by some software companies offering packages less than INR 4 LPA. There are only a few chances for core placements and on average, you will be offered placement in between INR 3–6LPA.

The core companies visiting for recruitment from chemical engineering are AUROBINDO, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, GVK BIO, Deccan Companies, etc and all together they will recruit less than 20 students.
