VFSTR groups its undergraduate admission routes by programme and seat category. Engineering applicants may use an entrance rank or apply through the direct-merit category. Pharmacy, business, computer application and integrated law courses have their own qualifying-mark requirements and selection routes.
The B.Tech degree takes four years and has 15-plus specialisations. Choices include Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI and ML). V-SAT qualifiers attend the university’s merit counselling. Applicants using AP/TS EAMCET ranks can take part in state counselling and then submit a direct application to VFSTR.
| Admission Route | Academic Requirement | Basis for Entry |
|---|---|---|
| Regular B.Tech, Category A | Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM), with at least 60% aggregate | V-SAT, JEE Main, AP EAPCET or TS EAMCET |
| B.Tech, Category B | Class 12 with PCM and at least 60% aggregate; an entrance rank is not needed | Qualifying board-exam marks; the annual fee is higher than Category A |
| B.Tech lateral entry | A diploma in the relevant engineering branch with at least 50% marks | Diploma merit or AP ECET |
Entrance performance decides the B.Tech merit list, and admission does not include a Group Discussion or Personal Interview. VFSTR uses the V-SAT rank, JEE Main percentile or AP/TS EAMCET rank. Better ranks in V-SAT, JEE Main and AP EAPCET receive priority when branches are allotted.
| Branch or Charge | Amount |
|---|---|
| CSE variants, yearly tuition | INR 2,80,000 |
| ECE and Bioengineering, yearly tuition | INR 2,00,000 |
| Core engineering branches, yearly tuition | INR 1,20,000 |
| One-time admission charge | INR 20,000 |

Course-wise details are available on the official VFSTR UG and PG fees page for 2026.
V-SAT is available in online and offline modes. Multiple attempts are allowed during its annual January-to-April examination window, and the highest score determines the rank and scholarship assessment. Scholarship places account for 25% of intake and are filled on a first-come-first-served basis according to rank. Applying early helps students seek their preferred branch and an available scholarship place.
Students applying to these programmes must meet the relevant Class 12 requirement. VFSTR conducts counselling for pharmacy and integrated law admissions, while BBA and BCA use V-SAT or a university written test.
| Programme | Minimum Qualification | Selection and Counselling |
|---|---|---|
| B.Pharm and Pharm.D | Class 12 with PCM or Physics, Chemistry and Biology (PCB), with at least 60% aggregate | V-SAT, AP EAPCET or EAMCET for Pharmacy, followed by VFSTR counselling |
| BBA and BCA | Class 12 in any stream with at least 50% aggregate | V-SAT or the university’s written examination |
| BA.LLB and BBA.LLB (Hons.) | Class 12 in any stream with at least 45% aggregate | V-SAT, V-JET or qualifying-exam merit, with counselling conducted by VFSTR |
| Programme | Annual Fee |
|---|---|
| BBA and BCA | INR 1,20,000 |
Disclaimer: Subject to revision. Kindly check with the official sources to confirm
Management quota and NRI/PIO sponsorship seats are available for B.Tech and other undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Category B requires at least 60% in the qualifying examination and has higher fees than Category A. For seat availability, allocation and exact charges, contact VFSTR through admissions.vignan.ac.in or visit the Guntur campus.
Postgraduate selection at VFSTR combines the course’s academic requirements with an accepted entrance score or university assessment. MBA applicants attend a Group Discussion and Personal Interview. M.Tech and MCA seats are allotted through merit after entrance scores and academic documents are checked.
Graduates from any subject can seek entry to the two-year MBA if they have at least 55% marks. Accepted routes include AP/TS ICET, CAT and MAT. The CAT threshold is the 70th percentile, while MAT applicants need a score of 500 or above. The university written test is another listed entrance route.
| Requirement | Details | Accepted Entrance Route |
|---|---|---|
| Bachelor’s degree | At least 55% marks in any discipline from a recognised university | AP ICET; CAT at the 70th percentile or higher; MAT with a 500-plus score; or the university written test |
| Applicants awaiting graduation | Students in their final year may submit a provisional application | |
| CAT cutoff record | The 2024 Round 1 cutoff was the 70th percentile for every specialisation |
The MBA merit decision has two parts: the entrance result and VFSTR’s Group Discussion and Personal Interview, commonly called GD and PI. The final merit assessment combines both. A CAT result at or above the 70th percentile qualifies an applicant for interview shortlisting. CAT, ICET and MAT results are accepted only for the current admission cycle.
| Fee Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tuition for each year of the two-year MBA | INR 2,00,000 |
| Admission charge | INR 10,000 |
Disclaimer: Subject to revision. Kindly check with the official sources to confirm
MBA merit support can cover up to 50% of tuition. The listed qualifying criteria are an ICET rank from 1 to 5000, a CAT score of 6 to 6.9, or more than 80% in the qualifying degree.
M.Tech and MCA each take two years. GATE is a main entry route for M.Tech, while MCA uses ICET. Students without a valid GATE result can take VUGATE, the university’s postgraduate entrance examination, if they meet that route’s academic requirement.
| Programme | Academic and Rank Conditions | Entrance Examinations |
|---|---|---|
| M.Tech | BE or B.Tech with at least 50% marks and GATE qualification; the VUGATE route requires 80% in B.Tech | GATE, PGECET or VUGATE |
| MCA | A bachelor’s degree with Mathematics studied in Class 12 or during the degree; at least 60% marks and an ICET rank below 5,000, or 80% in the qualifying examination when applying without a rank | AP ICET or TS ICET |
For M.Tech, VFSTR considers the GATE score or VUGATE rank. B.Tech graduates with at least 80% who do not have a valid GATE score may use VUGATE. PGECET scores are also accepted. MCA selection follows ICET merit. Neither programme requires a separate interview.
| Programme | Yearly Tuition | Admission Charge |
|---|---|---|
| M.Tech | INR 1,00,000 | INR 10,000 |
| MCA | INR 1,40,000 | INR 10,000 |
Disclaimer: Subject to revision. Kindly check with the official sources to confirm
A strong GATE score may make an M.Tech applicant eligible for a tuition scholarship of up to 100%.
VFSTR also admits students to pharmacy, science and English programmes at the postgraduate level. Their entry requirements and assessment routes are listed below.
| Programme | Academic Requirement | Selection Route |
|---|---|---|
| M.Pharm in Pharmaceutics | B.Pharm with at least 55% marks | GATE (Pharmacy), PGECET or VUGATE, followed by VFSTR counselling |
| M.Sc and MA English | A relevant undergraduate degree with at least 60% marks | The university’s written examination and interview, with VFSTR counselling |
Doctoral applications at VFSTR are considered on a rolling basis. Students qualified through UGC-NET or CSIR-NET receive preference, and selection includes a Personal Interview.
| Programme | Qualifying Requirement | Admission Route |
|---|---|---|
| PhD | A postgraduate qualification in the relevant field with at least 55% marks, or an undergraduate Engineering qualification with 60% CGPA | CSIR-NET or UGC-NET qualification and a Personal Interview; applications are considered throughout the year |
Applicants should contact the admissions office for the applicable interview round and submit their relevant academic and NET qualification details for consideration.
VFSTR’s yearly scholarship allocation reaches up to INR 16 crores. Merit awards apply to exactly 25% of AICTE-approved seats in each programme. The general merit scheme reduces tuition by 10% to 75%, depending on the student’s entrance rank or qualifying marks.
To retain a merit award, students need at least 70% marks, equivalent to 7.0 CGPA, in the preceding year. They must clear every subject on the first attempt, have no backlogs and leave no fee dues unpaid. Renewal is checked each year. If any condition is missed, the scholarship is cancelled for that year.
| Tuition Reduction | Qualifying Rank or Marks | Share of Seats |
|---|---|---|
| 75% | V-SAT rank 1 to 50, JEE Main at the 95th percentile or above, or EAMCET rank below 10,000 | 5% of intake |
| 50% | V-SAT rank 51 to 100, JEE Main percentile 89 to 94.9, or Intermediate marks above 970 | 10% of intake |
| 25% | V-SAT rank 101 to 400, JEE Main percentile 80 to 88.9, or Intermediate marks from 950 to 969 | 10% of intake |
| 10% | V-SAT rank 401 to 2000, JEE Main percentile 70 to 79.9, or Intermediate marks from 920 to 949 | The remaining scholarship pool |
Students with EAMCET ranks above 10,000 have also secured seats with scholarship support. For V-SAT, ranks within the top 50 receive a 75% tuition reduction, while ranks from 401 to 2000 qualify for a 10% reduction. Scholarship support can continue across all four B.Tech years when the renewal conditions are met.
Ques. Which entrance routes let a student join VFSTR without taking V-SAT?
Ans. A valid JEE Main score or AP/TS EAMCET rank allows a student to apply directly for B.Tech without V-SAT. The university conducts V-SAT, short for Vignan’s Scholastic Aptitude Test, for B.Tech, B.Pharm and other undergraduate programmes. Students seeking merit scholarships often choose this route: the top 50 V-SAT rankers receive a 75% tuition waiver.
Ques. How does VFSTR assess repeated V-SAT attempts, and what does the application cost?
Ans. Ranking and scholarship assessment use the student’s highest score when V-SAT is taken more than once. Multiple attempts are permitted within the January-to-April testing window. The application charge for V-SAT 2026 is INR 1,200.
Ques. How do JEE Main results affect basic B.Tech entry and scholarship awards?
Ans. Basic B.Tech eligibility does not carry a fixed minimum JEE Main percentile at VFSTR. Scholarships start at the 70th percentile, which gives a 10% tuition reduction. At the 95th percentile or higher, the tuition scholarship rises to 75%.
Ques. What are the marks and fee conditions for direct-merit or sponsored seats?
Ans. VFSTR has management quota and NRI/PIO sponsorship seats. For Category B, students need at least 60% in Class 12, and they can apply without an entrance rank. The yearly charge is higher than Category A. Students should use admissions.vignan.ac.in to contact the admissions office, or visit the Guntur campus, for quota availability and exact fees.
Ques. Which MBA entrance options are available if a student falls below the CAT threshold?
Ans. Students can use an AP ICET rank or a MAT score of 500 or above if their CAT percentile does not meet the requirement. VFSTR’s CAT shortlisting threshold is the 70th percentile, based on 2024 Round 1 data. Every shortlisted applicant must complete the university’s Group Discussion and Personal Interview.
Ques. What alternative tests can an M.Tech applicant use instead of GATE?
Ans. M.Tech applicants may use VUGATE, the postgraduate entrance test run by Vignan, or an accepted PGECET score. PGECET means AP Postgraduate Common Entrance Test. Students with at least 80% in B.Tech can take the VUGATE route even without a valid GATE result.
Ques. How does category-based financial support work for SC/ST students?
Ans. Admission to any VFSTR undergraduate or postgraduate programme brings SC/ST students an automatic 25% tuition reduction. They can receive this alongside an eligible merit scholarship. Government Post-Matric support is also available through the National Scholarship Portal for SC, ST, OBC and EWS students.
Ques. Which original certificates should a student bring when joining VFSTR?
Ans. Bring Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets and certificates, the relevant V-SAT, JEE Main, EAMCET, GATE or ICET rank card, a transfer certificate and passport-size photographs. A migration certificate is needed for students from another state board, and a caste certificate is needed where applicable. NRI and foreign national applicants must also provide the extra documents requested by the admissions office.
Ques. At what stage can students awaiting their final degree results seek MBA or M.Tech admission?
Ans. A provisional MBA application is allowed during the final year of graduation. Students completing their final B.Tech year can likewise apply provisionally for M.Tech. The seat is confirmed only when the final marksheets establish that the required minimum aggregate has been achieved.
Ques. What academic and payment conditions apply when renewing a merit scholarship?
Ans. Renewal takes place annually. Students must clear all subjects in their first attempt and earn at least 70%, or 7.0 CGPA, in the preceding year. All fee payments must also be up to date. Missing any of these conditions cancels the scholarship for that year.

There is a entrance exam but its not compulsory , if you want good amount of scholarship then you can write the exam. The good aspect is that the college will prepare you for future and will provide many opportunities to prove your talents. You can gain so much knowledge and skills . While coming to bad aspect is high fee structure and the workload is overwhelming. The admission process is quite easy . They conduct a entrance exam called VSAT through which we can get admission in the college with high chances of scholarship. One can also directly get admission into the college through JEE mains or the local state level exam. The cut off is reachable and the exam is online based so getting good score is not that hard.
