JNTU College of
Engineering, Vizianagaram

The EAMCET, 2015 for the engineering stream concluded on the 8th
of May. We continue to guide you on the various colleges that admit students on
the basis of their performance in the EAMCET. One of the most common queries
that students have is the likely cutoff for selection to various colleges.
Which are the different colleges that I may get selected to? What is the
minimum score needed for selection to a highly reputed branch at a top college?
These questions trouble every single student (and their parents). Accordingly,
we bring to you this series of articles on colleges that select students on the
basis of their performance in the Andhra Pradesh EAMCET (Engineering and
Medical Common Entrance Test). In these articles, we take a look at the opening
and closing ranks for admissions to these colleges in 2013-14. These articles
would give you a brief idea of the expected opening and closing ranks in
2015-16.

The EAMCET is conducted for entry to various professional degree
courses in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Various universities of Andhra Pradesh
give admission to students in courses related to medical, engineering and
agriculture on the basis of their performance in this exam. The Andhra Pradesh
State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) organizes the EAMCET in affiliation
with Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU).

Engineering aspirants taking the EAMCET need to answer a total
of 160 questions on Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. The test involves no
negative marking. The question paper is available in English and Urdu. However,
only candidates from the Hyderabad centre can avail the question paper in Urdu.

In this particular
article we take a look at JNTU College Engineering, Vizianagaram. The institute was established in 2007 and has
a state of the art campus. It is approved by the AICTE and is affiliated to
JNTU, Kakinada.

This college offers undergraduate programs in Civil engineering,
Computer Science & Engineering, Electrical & Electronics engineering, Metallurgical
engineering, Information Technology and Mechanical engineering.

All the departments of engineering have an approved intake of 60
students every year.

Let us take a look at the opening ranks and closing ranks for
admission to this institute last year:
