Diploma Programmes

Admission to diploma courses is merit-based, relying on academic performance in the qualifying examination (10th/SSC). Candidates must secure a minimum of 35% marks. The process involves downloading the application form from the institute’s official portal, completing it online, and attending document verification followed by fee payment.

Candidates must have passed 10+2 with Physics, Mathematics, and one additional subject, securing 45% aggregate marks (40% for reserved categories). Diploma holders in Engineering are eligible for lateral entry into the second year, subject to vacancy availability.

Postgraduate Programmes (M.Tech)

Admission to the M.Tech programme in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is based on the AP PGECET score. Shortlisted candidates must complete document verification and pay the admission fee to confirm their seat.

Fee Information

The fee structure at DJR College of Engineering and Technology is determined in accordance with guidelines set by the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) and the affiliating university, JNTU Kakinada. Tuition fees vary by programme category—B.Tech, M.Tech, and MBA—and by the seat allotment type, such as Category A (Convenor Quota), Category B (Management Quota), and NRI/Spot admissions.

In addition to tuition, students should budget for mandatory university fees (registration, examination, and affiliation charges), laboratory and library deposits, and miscellaneous expenses including student insurance, identity card, and campus development fees. Hostel and transportation charges are optional and billed separately based on occupancy and route selection.

Fee payment is typically structured on a per-semester or annual basis, with the college providing a detailed breakdown at the time of admission counselling. Scholarships and fee reimbursement schemes—such as the Jagananna Vidya Deevena and Post-Matric Scholarships for eligible SC/ST/BC/EBC/Minority students—are processed directly through the state government portal, reducing the net out-of-pocket cost for qualified candidates.

Prospective applicants are advised to verify the current year’s fee notification on the college notice board or the official APSCHE website before counselling to ensure accurate financial planning.
