JNTU College of Engineering Anantapur

JNTU College of Engineering Anantapur is the constituent engineering college of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Anantapur, with an institutional history reaching back to 1946, which makes it one of the older engineering campuses in Andhra Pradesh. It holds an A+ grade from NAAC, and as a government college its fees sit far below the private engineering colleges that dominate the state. All the core branches are taught, with computer science the most sought-after through the state's EAMCET counselling. Anantapur is a smaller Rayalaseema city with low living costs, so the trade-off is limited urban exposure in exchange for value and an established public brand. It suits rank-holding students in AP counselling who prioritise a government seat over a metropolitan campus.
