How good is an MBA in Andhra University?

AU is the first university to start MBA in India, almost 65 years ago. It used to be one of the largest universities in the past. It had the largest number of faculty in India with 60 professors. These days it offers specializations in Commerce and Management programs. Despite all this, don't think MBA from Andhra University would bring any amount of satisfaction to you. It is suggested that you work hard and try to get into an elite B-school like IIM Ahmedabad, as they can provide you with the best industrial exposure.

Admission to Andhra University is primarily determined by the APICET exam, a 200-mark test in mathematics, logic, and English. Successful candidates are admitted based on rank and must attend counseling with necessary documents. Fees vary across categories: general students may pay around Rs. 22,000 annually, or as low as Rs. 8,000 with a free seat, while SC/ST students pay minimal fees. Management quota seats cost around Rs. 3.5 lakhs for the course. Top-ranked students pay Rs. 10,000 plus Rs. 2,000 for MBA Regular, while others pay up to Rs. 30,000.

Non-qualifiers pay Rs. 1.5 lakhs per year. Self-financing students' fees are reimbursable if eligible. Scholarships based on merit, caste, and income are available, with full fee reimbursement for BPL students and scholarships ranging from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 20,000 for income groups earning less than Rs. 2,00,000 annually. The college's faculty is highly qualified, with many holding Ph.D. degrees and significant industry experience, creating an engaging learning environment. The college facilities include air-conditioned classrooms and seminar halls.

Campus placements begin in the final semester, with companies like ITC and Kotak Mahindra Bank offering packages averaging 3.5 to 4 lakh per annum, with the highest package reaching 11 lakh per annum. Approximately 10% of students secure placements, with better prospects for marketing MBA students. The placement committee supports students, leveraging connections with various companies. Additionally, the government offers a fee reimbursement scheme for eligible students in specific courses, and hostel fees apply for those utilizing university accommodation.

Updated fees and scholarship details are available on the college's website.

Best University in Visakhapatnam to pursue your dream course

Fees and Financial Aid:

The Overall expeirence with Andhra University is very good and the total fees for MBA in Finance is 50000 rupees for all the category and the admission fees is 1000 rupees which is to be one time only, till now i have paid Rs 37500 and remaining Rs 12500 i will pay by september, the best about paying admission fess is that you can pay it in installment wise as per your semester, As i am doing MBA online i dont know if any scholarships or financial aid is available for students or not.

The yearly tuition fee for the Drug Regulatory Affairs course in Andhra University is ?1,45,000/year which is eligible for exemption under the fee reimbursement scheme of AP Govt if applicable. Additionally, there is an admission fee of ?8,000. For those opting for university hostel accommodation, the first-year admission fee and other charges amount to ?14,500, with a monthly fee ranging from ?3,700 to ?4,000. In the second year, the admission fee will be waived, but the remaining fees will remain the same.

The college timings were good and the regularity of the classes in the semester I think it might be best in the City

Dislikes

Actually we have very high expectations from the College placements because of it fee structure but their collecting from the students but actually it is completely worse if we compare after the placement drives
The first and foremost that didn't like in the college is the fee actually the feed that iPaid is around 90000 per year when we compared to the other colleges it was a very high fee

The actual tuition fee is about 70k per year we have to pay another 10000 for the other activities like personality development sessions industrial visits training and placement classes and the blazers suits are included in the 15000 the admission fee was included in the 85000 overall. The extra fees is like semester fee, lab fee under the compulsory fees is about 3K per semester and in the 2nd year for the 4th semester we have an extra fee for the certificates like CMM course conduct certificate and extra I think it might be over all 5K for the 4th semester I recommend to estimate about 10k extra for the year apart from the tuition fee . I get the seat from the counselling itself which was the APicet offer rank 3K and I belongs to the OBC category for the OBC Cadbury I think it might be around 7k to the last rank.

Experience of a student

Fee structure in this college was little high but there was a scholarship facility available. Students who got ranks in APICET can apply for this college and get the seat with scholarship. Other wise fee structure was little high.

BEST COLLEGE FOR MBA

Fee over here through counselling is 85,000 and direct admision is 1.25 lakhs. We can attend paid internships if required any assistance. And after the course completion you can get placed in most of the MNC's with high packages.

The college accepts fee reimbursement. We have qualified the Icet government fix some amount but college takes some extra 5000. The AP government provide vidya devena. But still, the government has not given the fee reimbursement
