Andhra University College of Engineering (AUCE) had its beginnings in the Composite Madras State before Independence, in 1946. However, the seeds of technical education on Andhra University Campus had been sown in 1933 itself with the inception of Sugar Technology, the present Department of Chemical Engineering. In 1946 after the sanction, the college was initially located at Cocanada (the present Kakinada), under the Madras State. In 1955 after the first bifurcation of the State from the Combined Madras Government, Departments of major branches of Engineering--Mechanical, Civil & Electrical were established on the University Campus. The present AUCE Campus (the North Campus of the Andhra University) had been established in 1955 on a sprawling area extending to 160 acres. The shift had seen the North Campus emerge as the present Andhra University College of Engineering. The department of Chemical Technology i.e Sugar Technology of 1933 was also shifted to the North Campus in 1962 further strengthening the Campus. The four sections of Basic Sciences have been upgraded to individual departments in 1979. Over the years AUCE has been growing from strength to strength. Today the Campus offers 16 UG and 28 PG programmes besides research on par with technical institutions worldwide. The strength of the college is its faculty who motivate the students in leading the country in its ongoing technological revolution and entrepreneurial skills. In a recent survey conducted by a reputed organization AUCE has been rated at first position among the state owned technical institutions in the country (Star News). The strong Alumni Association of the campus contributes its might to the overall development of campus in every way possible; the Dr. YVS Murthy Auditorium and North Campus Health Centre are built by the Alumni. The faculty of the departments are engaged in individual research besides consultancies with public, private and national research organizations.

Courses and Details
B.Tech
Bachelor of Technology (BTech) is a professional undergraduate engineering degree programme awarded to candidates after they complete four years of study in the field. Engineering is one of the most popular courses in India and there are many institutes that offer the course to aspiring students.
For admissions, the most common BTech entrance examinations are JEE Main and JEE Advanced. Along with these national level entrance examinations, there are many state and private level entrance examinations that the students can attempt for admission to the course. The basic eligibility criteria for BTech is class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. However, there are additional criteria in every entrance exam and institute. Some of the institutes also conduct admission to their courses on merit basis i.e. based on marks scored by candidates in their class 12 board exams.
BE
Bachelor of Engineering or BE is a 4 year-long bachelor’s degree that deals with the study of scientific theory concepts, and experiments in the field of Engineering. After graduation, the Bachelor of Engineering jobs include Design Engineer, Development Engineer, Hardware & Network Administrator, Computer Architect, etc.

B.Arch
BArch (Bachelor of Architecture) is an undergraduate degree in the field of architecture. This five-year full-time programme is a blend of theoretical and practical knowledge for students to learn the art of planning, designing and constructing physical structures of various kinds. From ideating to mapping and overseeing the construction, a qualified architect is involved at every stage of any construction project.
Aeronautical Engineering
Aeronautical Engineering focuses on the science, technology, testing, design, development, building, and research of aircraft. This course trains engineers in the design, construction, testing, and analysis of commercial and military airplanes and missiles. Candidates can pursue aeronautical engineering courses after completing Class 10+2 and enrolling in bachelor's degrees. There are diploma, UG, PG, and doctorate courses in aeronautical engineering available. Admission to this course is done via an entrance exam and on a merit basis. To pursue this course, candidates must sit for engineering exams like JEE Main, JEE Advanced, AMECET, IISAT, etc.
Computer Science & Engineering
- Computer science engineering includes the study of design, computational processes and programming languages. Students get to learn technical know-how about how to develop a variety of hardwares and softwares and gain knowledge about communications systems and other similar devices.
Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewage systems, pipelines, structural components of buildings, and railways.
Information Science & Engineering
Information Science and Engineering is an area of study that focuses on the various aspects of data and information and aims to converge the knowledge about the design, development, and implementation of various solutions in order to facilitate the collection, categorization, strategy making and storage of information.
