Hii,

Yes, you can get a free seat in Andhra University for a degree course, but it depends on certain conditions. If you come from a family with a low income or belong to a reserved category like SC, ST, BC, EBC, Minority, or Kapu, the Andhra Pradesh government provides a scheme called “Jagananna Vidya Deevena.” Under this scheme, the government pays your entire college tuition fee directly to the college on your behalf. This means you don’t have to pay anything for your education.

Apart from that, Andhra University also offers some scholarships for students who have good marks or rank high in entrance exams (if required for your course). If you perform well in academics or entrance tests, the university may give you a full or partial fee waiver.

To get these benefits, you must apply through official channels like the Jnanabhumi portal (for government schemes), and you’ll need documents like your income certificate, caste certificate, marksheets, etc. The university may also have its own application process for scholarships, which you can find on their official website or by visiting the admission office.

So in short, if you meet the income or category criteria or if you’re a top performer, you have a very good chance of getting a free or highly subsidized seat in Andhra University.

1. Cut-off Ranks :

   • The cut-off ranks for MBA admissions at Andhra University vary each year based on factors like the number of applicants, seat availability, and category-wise reservations.

STEPS TO INCREASE THE CHANCES-

hope this helps you!!

Hi Rajesh,

A rank of 23,000 in AP ICET is moderate. The chance of you getting a seat depends on multiple factors like category, gender, local area, and number of seats available. Since you belong to BC-A, you have had a slightly better chance than general category students.

However, you can expect difficulty getting on the preferred courses in top universities like Andhra University (AU) for MBA/MCA. Your rank of 23,000 means you have a low chance admission to these preferred courses, especially in high demanded courses/specializations. You can still expect a seat in:

1. AU (not the main campus) affiliated colleges
2. Other decent universities or private colleges
3. You can research colleges in SVU or JNTU-K regions as cutoff ranks in BC-A may be higher.

Hello Aspirant,

With an ECET rank of 1491 from the OC category, it is highly unlikely you will get a CSE seat in AU because it is number 1, highly competitive and cuts off around 300–400 for OC candidates. You need to explore other good colleges affiliated to JNTUK or AU where cutoff rank is much higher. Check here: AP ECET Rank - Wise College List

With an AP ICET rank of 291, you have a strong chance of securing an MCA seat at both JNTUK (Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada) and AU (Andhra University), as they typically have higher cutoffs. However, being from the OU region, you might be considered a non-local candidate, which could slightly reduce your chances. Focus on the counseling process, as a high rank like yours makes admission highly likely, especially in top-tier institutions like these.
