Campus Overview

JNTU (Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University) was originally ‘The College of Engineering, Visakhapatnam' at the time of its establishment in 1946. This college became a constituent of the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University w.e.f 02-10-1972 through an act of legislature along with other sister institutions under the control of the then Director of Technical Education, Government of Andhra Pradesh. Earlier, it was affiliated to Andhra University. In the year 2003, the college has become autonomous(independent to design its curriculum,syllabus and activities and not based on the rules and regulations designed by the university). The college has made rapid strides since its formation and is playing a pivotal role in the technological advances of the region.

This is not just an engineering school but a student school which gives you the opportunity to do groundbreaking, fundamental research.

Engaging with regional & local economic development efforts:

NSS(National Service Scheme) and NCC(National Cadet Corps) are part of our extracurricular activities in our University. It plays a major role in developing the regional and rural areas. Its main motto is to help the society and educate the society. As a part of it many camps are held to create awareness on many aspects like education among people. Also, cleaning campaigns, rallies to create awareness regarding health and social issues, guidance on health issues are conducted as a part of the major activities of these service programs.
