Walk through the modest 12-acre campus near the NH-5 highway in Nellore, and you’ll hear two very different stories about placements at SKR College of Engineering and Technology. The administration points to ₹7.89 LPA as the highest offer — a solid figure for a private college outside the metro belt. But chatter among students and on forums like CollegeDunia tosses around a ₹12 LPA placement (unverified). Which one you believe probably says more about your expectations than the college’s reality. But the gap matters. And so does the admission prospectus that lists a 59% placement rate.
The college sticks to the core engineering lineup you’d expect from a JNTUA-affiliated institute. At the undergraduate level, it offers six B.Tech specializations: Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Information Technology. Intake is capped at 60 students for CSE, ECE, EEE, and Civil — a manageable batch size that can make a difference in faculty attention. The exact intake for Mechanical and IT isn’t disclosed.
Postgraduate options include M.Tech in Computer Science And Engineering, VLSI Design & Embedded System, and Software Engineer. The college doesn’t run any doctoral programs as of now.
Faculty strength sits at 40 members, described often as friendly and supportive in student reviews. The number of PhD holders isn’t available, which may matter if you’re fussy about research exposure. The academic calendar kicks off around August-September, with grading patterns aligned to JNTUA norms. The institute’s stated approach leans toward holistic development — balancing academics, sports, and extracurriculars — though student ratings place academics at a modest 3/5.
The official placement numbers are clear: a 59% placement rate, a highest package of ₹7.89 LPA, and an average of ₹3.08 LPA. Where the picture gets blurry is on student forums. Some reviews promise 90% placements and others claim “above 70%,” while the college’s own data tells a far more measured story. A few students have mentioned offers around ₹8 LPA or even ₹12 LPA, but none of those figures come with verified sources.
Honestly, 59% is not terrible for a tier-3 private college in a non-metro location, but it’s also not a number that lets you sit back. If you’re expecting a comfortable campus placement drive, you might need to readjust. Many students here end up hustling off-campus or leaning on the internship training the college claims to provide as a “regular feature.”
Top recruiters on the list include familiar IT names — Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Cognizant, HCL, IBM, Accenture, and even Oracle and Google are mentioned, though the latter two rarely hire in large numbers at this pay scale. Core engineering firms aren’t specific, but the institute does indicate hiring in IT and core sectors.
Takeaway? The average package is modest. For a student willing to upskill independently and chase opportunities beyond the campus gate, the degree from a recognised AICTE-approved institution still holds value. But leaning solely on the placement cell is risky.
Fees are one of SKRCET’s strongest selling points, especially if affordability tops your checklist.
On top of tuition, you’re looking at an application fee of ₹1,200, annual exam fees of ₹2,000, library/technology fees of ₹3,000 per year, and miscellaneous charges around ₹5,000 annually. If you’re staying on campus, hostel fees range from ₹50,000 to ₹70,000 a year (mess charges excluded).
A rough back-of-the-envelope calculation puts the total four-year B.Tech cost — without hostel — at approximately ₹213,200. That’s competitive by any measure for a private engineering college in Andhra Pradesh. Scholarships are available based on academic merit, reserved quotas, or financial need, though the details of the award amounts aren’t specified.
Admission is merit-based through state-level entrance exams, followed by counselling and document verification.
For B.Tech, the sole accepted exam is AP EAMCET (now called AP EAPCET). The 2026 schedule is already taking shape: admit cards are expected from April 28, the exam runs May 12–18, and Phase 1 online registration is tentatively July 7–16, 2026. Specific cutoff ranks aren’t published — since they fluctuate year-to-year based on the counselling rounds — but expect the selection to be straightforward if you clear the exam and meet the eligibility norms.
For M.Tech, you can apply through AP PGECET (exam April 28–30, 2026, with results on May 14, 2026) or GATE. GATE-qualified candidates typically go through the COAP process, with Round 1 offers visible from May 11, 2026.
There’s no information on an NRI or management quota, so the admission path appears to be purely based on entrance performance.
Sitting right on NH-5, the campus is easy to spot. Inside the 12-acre boundary, infrastructure is functional rather than flashy. The computer lab is a highlight — 1,200 PCs with contemporary software, which is a decent resource pool for a college with a total B.Tech intake of around 360–420 students. Departmental labs and a science lab are available, though student reviews occasionally note that some labs could use an upgrade to feel more “industry-ready.”
The library is well-stocked for an institution of this size: 4,273 titles, 13,465 volumes, 29 magazines, 87 national journals, 16 international journals, and over 700 audio-visual CDs, plus a digital library. That’s a surprisingly solid academic resource.
Hostel life? Separate blocks for boys and girls, with a combined capacity of 3,000 — far more than the likely on-campus demand, so getting a room shouldn’t be a hassle. The hostels come with free Wi-Fi, decent accommodation, and mess facilities. Anti-ragging measures are in place. A canteen, an ATM, a medical facility, and college-run transport all add to daily convenience. For sports, there’s a playground and facilities open to everyone.
Two seminar halls (seating 400 and 100), an auditorium, a multipurpose hall, and an Incubation and Research Centre round out the physical infrastructure. Students rate campus life at 4/5, which suggests that despite the lack of a metro buzz, the college does manage to keep the atmosphere engaging.
Across platforms, the sentiment is a mix — generally positive about the environment, but with straightforward concerns about outcomes.

Where the grumbles live:
Academics land at a 3/5, which aligns with the faculty being supportive but not necessarily research-intensive. No major complaints about management behavior surfaced, which is unusual — and probably a quiet positive.
If you’re a student who needs an AICTE-approved, NBA-accredited engineering degree without burning through family savings, SKRCET makes sense. The ₹1.72 lakh total tuition is a genuine bargain, and the campus, though not spectacular, is clean and functional. Faculty are reportedly helpful, and the library punches above its weight.
This college is not the place to land a cushy ₹10 LPA campus job without serious personal effort. The placement numbers are honest — and low — which means you’ll be your own best career asset. Students willing to take that bargain, upskill through online courses, and travel for off-campus internships can extract good value.
Skip it if a strong NAAC grade matters for your future plans, or if you’re expecting a vibrant metro-side industry pipeline to make internships effortless. For the pragmatic, fee-conscious engineering aspirant who knows that a degree is merely the starting line, SKRCET is a workable — and affordable — option.
The annual tuition fee for B.Tech programs at SKR College of Engineering and Technology is ₹43,000. The total fee for the entire 4-year B.Tech duration is ₹1.72 Lakhs.
For B.Tech admissions, SKRCET primarily accepts scores from the AP EAMCET (AP EAPCET). For M.Tech admissions, candidates need to appear for either AP PGECET or GATE.
SKRCET reports a placement percentage of 59%. The highest package offered is ₹7.89 LPA, and the average package is ₹3.08 LPA. Top recruiters include companies like Infosys, Wipro, and TCS.
SKRCET provides separate hostel accommodations for both male and female students with a combined capacity of 3,000. The hostels offer good accommodation with free Wi-Fi access. Mess facilities are also available.
SKR College of Engineering and Technology is accredited by NBA and is ISO certified. It is also approved by AICTE. However, its NAAC accreditation status has not been disclosed.
