IIIT RK Valley provides a unique educational opportunity primarily for rural students, offering free education through government scholarships. Admission is merit-based, requiring a GPA over 9 from 10th-grade scores. The college enrolls up to 1,000 students per year across branches in Nuzvid, RK Valley, Ongole, and Basar, offering a 6-year integrated course that includes a 2-year Pre-University Course (PUC) and a 4-year B.Tech program. The tuition for the B.Tech program is INR 40,000 annually, whereas the PUC is INR 36,000.
Substantial scholarships reduce fees significantly, especially for students from families with annual incomes below INR 1 lakh, who pay minimal fees. Those with incomes below INR 2 lakhs pay around INR 10,000, while SC/ST students pay just INR 2,000. Non-local students pay a total of INR 140,000 annually. Faculty quality is mixed; although supportive and knowledgeable, there is a noted shortage of experienced educators. Despite this, the college emphasizes student engagement and practical projects.
The placement record is strong, with 70-90% of students placed annually, especially from CSE and ECE branches. Companies like Infosys, Tech Mahindra, and Qualcomm recruit from the college, offering packages as high as INR 1.03 crore per annum. The average salary package ranges from INR 3.5 to 6 lakhs per annum. Internships begin in the second year, providing stipends from INR 15,000 to 40,000 per month. The Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (RGUKT) ensures that education is accessible and affordable for rural students, empowering them through government-funded scholarships such as Jagananna Vidya Deevena and Jagananna Vasathi Deevena, which cover tuition and hostel fees for eligible students.
Students with family incomes over INR 2.5 lakhs or whose parents work as government employees pay full fees. The college maintains a dedicated placement committee, supporting high placement rates and industry experiences through internships.
