University admissions in Andhra Pradesh 2026

Andhra Pradesh has a strong public university base — Andhra University (Visakhapatnam), Sri Venkateswara University (Tirupati, 1954), Sri Krishnadevaraya University, and the central University of Hyderabad (in Telangana but historically linked to AP). The private sector is anchored by deemed universities including KL University (KLEF) at Vaddeswaram and GITAM at Visakhapatnam.

Engineering admissions in AP are largely through the state-conducted AP EAPCET (formerly AP EAMCET). KLEF and GITAM each conduct their own entrance examinations — KLEEE and GAT respectively — alongside merit/JEE Main accepted routes. Most state and central universities now accept CUET UG and CUET PG.
