Universities accepting PGECET score/rank for admission in the state of Andhra Pradesh were given below:

According to me, Top colleges in Andhra Pradesh are:
- OSMANIA UNIVERISTY(O.U)
- JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY-HYDERABAD (JNTU-H)
- ANDHRA UNIVERSITY(A.U)
- JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY-KAKINADA (JNTU-K)
- SRI VENKATESWARA UNIVERSITY

- V R SIDDHARTHA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
- CHAITANYA BHARATHI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY(CBIT)
- MAHATMA GANDHI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY(MGIT)
Frankly speaking one should not expect much for placement from these colleges. My words were not implied to zero placements. Because of the fact in India that B.Tech students are preferred over M.Tech, placements for PG students were bit low. Talented persons can shine any where. If your career ambition is teaching or research then prefer University. University tag line is itself helpful for teaching jobs and research and many of our universities were good in teaching, faculty, infrastructure. To get into univerisities like OU, AU, JNTU-H, JNTU-A, JNTU-K, SVU one should get
RANK<100 (OC)
RANK<150(OBC)
RANK<600(SC/ST)
NOTE: PGECET admissions also depends upon the Universities Regions (AU, OU, SVU)
