SRM University, Andhra Pradesh

SRM University AP, established in 2017 at Amaravati, is the Andhra Pradesh campus of the Chennai-based SRM group, built as a modern residential university in the state's planned capital region near Vijayawada and Guntur. Engineering is the core, with computer science taking the largest share of applicants, alongside business programmes, and the university has pushed a research-and-liberal-education pitch harder than its parent campus. It holds an A++ grade from NAAC. Fees are at private-university levels, with scholarships used aggressively to attract high scorers. The campus is new and well built, though the surrounding capital region is still developing, so student life is largely self-contained. It suits students in the Telugu states who want a new, well-resourced private campus with the SRM brand without moving to Chennai.
