Admission to Gayatri Vidya Parishad College of Engineering is mainly through the EAMCET exam for engineering aspirants in Andhra Pradesh, with counseling determining college placement based on rank and preferences. There are management seats for lower-ranked candidates, often requiring extra fees, and ECET ranks are accepted for diploma holders. The faculty is experienced, with many from prestigious institutions and all holding at least a Master's degree. The college maintains a favorable student-to-faculty ratio, promoting personalized guidance, although some reliance on textbooks and increasing less experienced staff is noted.
The college fees have increased from around 40-42k in 2014 to approximately 1,03,000 INR per year now, with an additional bus fee of about 20,000 INR. Scholarships and fee reimbursements are available based on exam ranks and criteria like income, with government schemes easing the financial burden for eligible students. Despite the cost, the college is considered worthwhile due to its strong reputation, especially in placements. The college excels in placements, especially in IT, with top companies like TCS, Wipro, and Amazon participating.
In 2022, about 2000 placement offers were made, with a 75% to 90% placement rate per batch. The highest packages reached up to 44 lakhs per annum, with an average package between 4 to 6 lakhs. Although IT roles dominate, some core companies like L&T also recruit. Students can participate in placements from the 6th semester onward, assisted by a dedicated Placement and IT Cell. While on-campus internships are not available, the college supports external internships with companies like Vizag Steel Plant, typically required after the 6th semester.
The college does not offer direct scholarships or loans, but students can benefit from government schemes like the Jagananna Vidya Deevena for eligible categories, covering full fees.
