Should you pick B.Tech Data Sciences at SRK Institute of Technology?
This course suits students who want an analytics or software job and can live in a busy city for four years.
Pick it if:
You passed Class 12 in this state: half the seats are Andhra Pradesh, so a rank that misses the other quota list can still get in.
You want analytics labs and IT services: the official placement table lists CSD offers with the computing branches each year.
Your family can pay only per semester: you pay the tuition fee every year, and the fee office shares the steps.
You want the fee back fast: the ROI tile shows the fee can be paid back within one working year.
Skip it if:
You are counting on last year's closing rank: the close changes by phase, so use the checker and keep one backup choice.
You need a single room from the first year: hostel rooms are limited, so ask the office before you count on one.
You want internships in a big city: Vijayawada has nearby IT offices, so most internships come through the placement cell.
You will decide only after the AP EAPCET result: the APSCHE choice window closes within days of it, so fill your choices before the result comes.
Counsellor's advice
Freeze this branch if round 1 gives it to you on a Andhra Pradesh rank. If you are other quota and below the round 1 close, float it and keep a safer college above it.
B.Tech Data Sciences Eligibility▾
Class 12 marks: 75% in Physics, Chemistry and Maths. 65% for SC, ST and PwD.
Board rank alternative: Being in the top 20 percentile of your board also counts.
Exam needed: An AP EAPCET rank or AP EAPCET rank decides the counselling seat.
Andhra Pradesh quota: Half the seats go to students who passed Class 12 in this state.
B.Tech Data Sciences Admission Process▾
Write AP EAPCET: Two sessions, January and April. Your best score counts.
Register on CAP: APSCHE uses the CAP portal for AP EAPCET counselling seats.
Fill choices: List this college and branch high. Freeze keeps the seat, float keeps looking.
Pay the seat fee: Pay within five days of allotment or you lose the seat.
Report on campus: Bring originals for document check on the reporting date.

In short
MBU costs less and pays more on average, but its closing rank is about 3,000 places tougher. If your rank clears both, take MBU; if it clears only SRKIT, take this seat and do not wait for the spot round.
In short
AITS places more of its batch but charges INR 75,000 more over four years and pays a little less. If its easier closing rank is what you need, keep it one place below SRKIT in your choice list as the safer seat.
In short
SIETK charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the seats. If SRKIT gives you a seat in any round, take it; SIETK belongs below it in your list, not above it.
In short
RGMCET costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier closing rank. If your rank misses SRKIT in the early rounds, list RGMCET right below it and take whichever comes first.
In short
Summit is the cheapest seat here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If SRKIT allots you a seat in any round, take it and keep Summit only as your backup.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on SRK Institute of Technology B.Tech Data Sciences
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is B.Tech Data Sciences at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 1.82 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 4 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my rank is just above the closing rank?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General Andhra Pradesh seat closed at rank 66,256 in final phase and it got tougher three years in a row, so a rank that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the rank checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get software jobs with product and IT services companies that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 4 LPA, the median was INR 4 LPA and 92% of the batch was placed. If you want a core electronics job instead, this branch is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a busy city, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover machine learning and networks, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better rank?▾
Only if you can raise your rank by a lot, not a little. The General closing rank got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a branch change after year 1 if you want a sibling branch.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. the CSD branch had 97 offers for 120 eligible students, and the median pay was INR 4 LPA. Keep your CGPA ready for company shortlists. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is this branch better than ECE at this college for me?▾
Pick Data Sciences if you want a software job and ECE if you want a core electronics job. Data Sciences places a bigger share of its batch with product companies, and its closing rank is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want core CSE, the branch change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take AP EAPCET or AP EAPCET and fill this college in your choice list. A seat comes in the round your rank clears, and you must accept it and pay the seat fee within the days APSCHE gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 4-year fee is INR 1.82 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 5.02 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
The course features a range of faculty, including notable members like an operating system professor and Subbaroa Sir, though the teaching quality is inconsistent. Some faculty members, including Subbaroa Sir's sons, are reportedly not very student-friendly. Exam difficulty varies, which can make assessments unpredictable for students. Starting in the third year, students are eligible for placement opportunities, with preparatory classes offered in advance. Companies such as Tech Mahindra and Accenture actively recruit from the course.
The average placement package is 3.1 LPA, with top offers reaching up to 20 LPA. About 80% of students successfully secure placements. The college is equipped with excellent facilities, including high-quality faculty and comfortable hostels. The annual tuition fee is 90,000, with an additional lab fee of 500. Scholarships are available and help ensure that fees are equitable for students within the same batch.
