Andhra University, College of Engineering (AUCE) Courses & Fee Structure

2026-27 published fee schedule is for self-supported B.Tech

Andhra University’s Directorate of Admissions published a 2026 brochure for five self-supported B.Tech programmes at the University College of Engineering in Visakhapatnam. Its fee table gives a total fee per year, not tuition alone. The published annual amounts are ₹2.05 lakh for Computer Science and Engineering, ₹1.55 lakh for Electronics and Communications Engineering, ₹1.30 lakh for Mechanical Engineering, and ₹1.05 lakh each for Civil Engineering and Electrical and Electronics Engineering. These are specific to the self-support mode and 2026-27 cycle; they are not a general AUCE fee quote.

The brochure separately lists a special fee of ₹1,760 and a one-time accreditation fee of ₹3,000. It also says department-specific study, tour or field-work fees may apply. Because the table labels its figures “Total Fee Per Year” and the notes specify additional charges, applicants should confirm with the Directorate how these items are collected for their allotment instead of adding them to the annual totals as if the table clearly defines a single payable grand total.

The special-fee note itemizes games and athletics, reading room, library, medicine, medical inspection, stationery, audio-visual education, student aid, inter-university sports, associations, student social service, fresher’s day, college day, NCC and NSS. The brochure gives one combined special-fee figure rather than a separate amount for every student service. It should therefore be treated as a listed charge, not as an optional menu of services or as evidence that each item is billed separately.

The AUEET application charge is separate from the course fee. For 2026, the brochure lists ₹1,200 as the registration and application-processing fee, reduced to ₹1,000 for SC, ST and PwD applicants, plus applicable payment-bank charges. It also gives a late fee of ₹750 for applications filed after the regular deadline. Those were application charges for the AUEET-2026 process, whose listed dates have passed; they are not part of the annual programme fee and should not be carried into a later cycle. The course fee is payable after admission according to the applicable allotment and payment instructions, which may be updated by the Directorate.

A practical comparison should separate at least four amounts: the published annual self-support total, the listed special fee, the one-time accreditation charge, and any course-specific field-work expense. A student may also need to budget for residence, travel or personal costs, but the brochure does not quantify those for each applicant. Since it does not say in the fee table whether each separate charge is already included in the stated annual total, confirm the payable amount and timing on the official allotment/payment notice before arranging funds. Do not multiply an annual fee into a full-degree estimate unless the College confirms that the amount remains the same for every year and that no additional charges change.

Which courses and seats does this cover?

The 2026-27 AUEET brochure lists 540 self-support seats in CSE, 60 in Electronics and Communications, and 30 each in Mechanical, Civil, and Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The five entries sum to 690 seats in that brochure’s AUEET self-support table. This sum does not represent every AUCE B.Tech seat or the regular EAPCET route. The same brochure says a minimum of 10 students must join for a self-support course to run and reserves the University’s right not to fill seats or run a course.

The College has more than one admission stream. An AUCE first-year orientation circular from 2025-26 records students admitted through both APEAPCET and AUEET. The current fee table reviewed here, however, is for the AUEET self-support group only. It does not establish current regular-seat fees, fees for every B.Tech specialization, or the charges for B.Arch, MCA, M.Tech and other programmes. Do not apply these five annual amounts to a different mode or degree.

What should applicants budget for beyond the table?

The Directorate’s AUEET-2026 brochure identifies the ₹1,760 special fee as covering listed campus and student-service items, including games and athletics, reading-room and library charges, medicine and medical inspection, stationery, student associations and college events. It names the ₹3,000 accreditation charge as a one-time payment to AU College of Engineering. Departmental study, tour or field-work costs are additional where part of the curriculum. The available brochure does not give programme-wise field-work amounts, a complete payment calendar, or a hostel fee schedule, so those totals should be requested from the College or Directorate before choosing a seat.

Self-supported admission also has a funding consequence: the 2026-27 brochure says students in this mode are not entitled to fee reimbursement or scholarships. It says hostel accommodation is available, but places are limited; self-support students are considered only after regular-category students and subject to availability. Applicants should evaluate the annual charge, separate fees, accommodation and funding eligibility together rather than comparing the annual table alone.

Confirm the next cycle before paying

The figures above are the latest exact self-support fee table located in the official AUEET-2026 brochure for 2026-27. They do not establish charges for 2027-28. The Directorate portal now provides AUEET-2026 course and fee-payment notices, but a future-year fee schedule was not verified in the sources reviewed for this page. Check the Directorate’s current notice and the AUCE allotment or department instructions for the exact programme, mode, category and intake before paying. For regular EAPCET seats, use the relevant current state counselling information and obtain a fee schedule specific to the allotted regular seat.
