Hi,

In order, to get a seat in Andhra University through ECET your rank should be below 200. You can apply using your GATE rank also for which the closing rank is around 15000.

Since, it varies based on categories and students attempted exam. Free seat in the sense if you get fee reimbursement, then tution fee will be reimbursed. And you need to pay Rs.9,000 as building fee and for other stuff.

Hostel fee varies from Rs.2,500 to Rs.3,000 per month.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.
