JNTU Engineering College Anantapur

I am an alumni of JNTU College of Engineering, Ananatapur, AP, India. When I joined MCA program in late 1996, the college was in pathos. Infrastructure was bad, library was pathetic, lecturers were average, students used to be divided into Reddy and Kamma commmunities. Scheduled castes used to live in a separate hostel block called Yellow Block (YB). There used to be caste associations amongst students with strategic support from some professors. It used to be everything that an educational institute cannot be.
(I liked the hostel food particularly breakfast used to be great..yummy)

I heard that things improved by leaps and bounds now. It is perhaps due to IT boom, opened up industry-academia partnerships, improved placement record etc. I wish all current and future students great luck and like to see that historic institution back to the state it used to be few decades back. (it is one of the oldest engineering colleges in India).

Hi.I'm studying 3rd year B.Tech in JNTU Anantapur.
Now those caste systems are in the brink of their doom, however much needs 2 be changed, especially students attitude. As a famous college in Andhra Pradesh we get sum of the finest minds in the state 2 our college but the student culture her is not recognising or acting according 2 it.
I'm sincerely preparing 2 get into IIMs through CAT also took coaching. I found very few from our college r sincer in cracking CAT while whole nation is buzzing with B school mania.
I hope things wil change in near future.
