- Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE).
- Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE).
- Department of Mechanical Engineering(Mechatronics) (MCT).
- Department of Metallurgy and Materials Technology (MMT).
Every semester has a minimum of eight courses, which includes a minimum of two laboratory courses.
Students are required to attain a total of 212 credits and attend the institute for duration of not less than four years and not more than eight years to be considered for the award of the degree. The institute follows JNTU’s strict attendance regulation, which requires students to put in a minimum class attendance of 65% to progress to the next semester.
External (university) exams are held every semester in the campus itself and marks in all these exams count towards the final aggregate.
[edit] Admissions
The minimum criterion for admission is 60% marks in the Intermediate/10+2 Examination. Students are admitted primarily based on their ranks in the Engineering Agricultural and Medical Common Entrance Test (EAMCET), held by the JNTU every year.
Competition is usually intense and is increasing dramatically every year as the institute’s profile in both academic and extracurricular activities is rapidly improving.

The institute has 9 departments:
- Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE).
- Department of Information Technology (CSIT).
- Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE).
- Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE).
- Department of Mathematics and Humanities (M&H).
- Department of Mechanical Engineering(Mechatronics)(MCT).
- Department of Metallurgy and Materials Technology (M&MT).
- Department of Physics (P).
