Overview
The Rise group of colleges functions as part of an educational initiative aimed at expanding access to professional and technical education in the Ongole–Valluru belt of Andhra Pradesh. The Krishna Sai Gandhi unit within the group runs undergraduate and postgraduate programmes principally in engineering disciplines, along with allied courses in management. The institutions are affiliated to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada, which sets the academic curriculum and conducts university examinations.
Like many engineering colleges established in coastal Andhra during the period of rapid expansion in technical education, the institution operates on a residential campus model with both day-scholar and hostel facilities, and follows the regulatory framework laid down by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
Academics
The institution offers programmes leading to the Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) degree in core and emerging engineering disciplines. The branches typically offered at colleges of this type include:
- Computer Science and Engineering
- Electronics and Communication Engineering
- Electrical and Electronics Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Information Technology
Postgraduate offerings generally cover the Master of Technology (M.Tech) in selected specialisations and the Master of Business Administration (MBA). Curricula, evaluation patterns and credit structures follow the regulations notified by JNTU Kakinada, including the autonomous regulations adopted across various academic years.
Departments
Each engineering branch is organised as a department, supported by a faculty cadre comprising professors, associate professors and assistant professors. Departments of basic sciences and humanities handle first-year courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, English communication and environmental studies, which are common to all undergraduate engineering students.
Campus and facilities
The campus is located in a semi-urban setting in Andhra Pradesh, with academic blocks, laboratories, workshops, a central library, computing centres, and separate hostels for male and female students. Common facilities at institutions in this group include:
- Subject-wise laboratories aligned to the JNTUK curriculum
- Central library with print and digital resources
- Internet-enabled computer laboratories
- Seminar halls and an auditorium
- Indoor and outdoor sports facilities
- Canteen, transport services and medical assistance
Admissions
Admission to undergraduate engineering programmes is primarily through the Andhra Pradesh Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (AP EAPCET, formerly EAMCET), conducted by the state authorities. Seats are allotted on the basis of rank through a centralised counselling process administered by the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education. A portion of seats is filled under the management quota as per state regulations.
Admission to M.Tech programmes is generally through GATE scores or the state-level AP PGECET, while MBA admissions are made on the basis of AP ICET ranks. Reservation policies follow Government of Andhra Pradesh norms applicable to professional courses.
Student life
Student activity on campus is organised around departmental associations, technical clubs, cultural committees and sports teams. Annual events typically include a technical symposium, a cultural festival, sports meets, and observances tied to national days and engineers'
