Andhra University - [AU], Visakhapatnam - Affiliated Colleges

According to the reviews online, I found out that, AU by all means is better than GITAM University, here's an exposition, as to why- 

• Academics: AU offers quality education compared to GITAM. You will also have plenty of time to participate in extracurricular activities, which have their value too. Not only this, but AU also offers exchange programs.
• Location: AU is in the centre of the city and on one side it has the RK beach. AU is 2kms away from the bus station and 3–4 kms from the railway station.
• Faculty: Sometimes AU professors allow scholars to take a class, which is not great. But the main faculty is really highly experienced.
• Campus: With a 350- 400 acres campus and buildings, gyms, stadiums, 2 grounds, and labs with equipment for research and practicals, AU can be said to have a nice campus.
• Placements: As for placements, GITAM has an upper hand, with packages ranging from INR 3 LPA to INR 6 LPA. But AU will provide students with the proper exposure, enough for them to secure good job offers.

Andhra University also has colonial-style hostels, with the availability of food for INR 2200 per month. AU has cheaper fees anyway, in GITAM the fee is between INR 1 to 3 lakhs for different courses but in AU it is the 10k-30k only.

If you wànt a seat in AU, go through the course and degree you'd like to choose. AU provides different options like B.A, M.A, B.Pharmacy, MBBS, B.Sc., M.Sc., B.Ed., MBA, and vocational programs. 

You can find an exam list below:

• EAMCET- is an entrance exam for B.A, B.Pharm, and MBBS programs.
• AUCET- is the admission entrance exam for candidates in PG programs in Science, Commerce, Humanities, Management, Teaching, and Mass Communication.
• EDCET- is a B.Ed exam.
• ICET - is for MBA and MCA.
• AUEET - is the entrance exam for BTech for the 6-year integrated degree.

For information about the vocational program, you can connect with the AU School of Distance Education or with the AU registration office.

Some of my friends graduated from Andhra University. According to them, the major thing required is a proper presentation. Properly presented answers are given an upper hand. So make sure you do it well. 

Here are some tips on how you can improve your presentation.

• The question pattern usually is to answer 5 out of 8 questions. The first 2 questions have to be the best.
• There are 2 marks of bit questions. Never attempt the bit questions first unless you are familiar with all the bits. 
• The idea behind this is to find out if students have covered all units or not.
• Draw diagrams wherever possible. They should be neat and labeled.
• Highlight the important points of the answer
• Provide statistics and examples wherever necessary.
• Use color to differentiate the important terms or parts of the answer.
• Don’t use any shade of red or green since it is not allowed.

Finally, it is suggested that you try making your answer sheets as neat as possible. As the evaluator has to go through numerous answer sheets, they won't be able to read everything thoroughly. So try highlighting important parts of your answers, to make them stand out. Overall, try keeping the answer sheets as neat as possible.

Osmania University is historical! OU is not only about placements or quality of education, but also about the value of that education you get during your study there.

You learn about the life, relations, and friends from different backgrounds and cultures. You'll have a broader perspective on social life, you will realize your good fortune on being here. Osmania University is probably one of the reasons for Telangana's achievements.

OU is in the centre of Hyderabad city, and beats many other private colleges located in far-off locations. There are many great places to hang out with friends, and the alumni are unparalleled. Don't miss a chance at experiencing the best!

The placements for MBA at Andhra University are good when compared to engineering. However, do not expect a package of more than 5 LPA. 

You should be well prepared for the online exam conducted from the first semester itself. The rounds involve - Online test, a Technical round, and afterward an HR round.

You are advised to prepare for aptitude well. One of the recommended books would be Arun Sharma Quant’s book for CAT for the online examination. Try to solve LOD 1 and LOD 2 and learn advanced excel for the technical round. It would be advised to clear the basic concepts of their stream of study.
