The contents of these courses are constantly revised to meet the needs of the changing world with focus on quality and excellence.
Besides this, the University has started a new Postgraduate programme, Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT) from the academic year 2013-14 onwards which is offered by a consortium of universities in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University, USA with the support of State Government of Andhra Pradesh. MSIT has been designed to develop technically competent, highly productive, and self motivated professionals in tune with the demands of an ever changing market.
The University is also offering two M.Tech. degree programmes, VLSI System Design and Embedded Systems, in collaboration with SEER Akademi from the academic year 2013-14 onwards. The programme is more focused on industry oriented practical work.
Institutions
A new University College of Engineering at Kalikiri (Village), Chittoor (District) has been started as one of the constituent colleges of the University from the academic year 2013-14 with B.Tech. courses in five Engineering branches viz., Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Communications Engineering and Computer Science & Engineering.
The University has the following Constituent colleges/Unit
1. JNTUA College of Engineering, Ananthapuramu
2. JNTUA College of Engineering, Pulivendula

Research programs in 16 disciplines related to the fields of Technology, Science, Pharmacy, Management studies and Humanities are offered by the University.
Green Initiatives
The University has taken up green initiative to develop plantation and greenery in the campus Coordinated by the Rector, Prof. H. Sudarsana Rao. The Rural Development Trust (RDT), Ananthapuramu has planted about 3000 plants of different species in the campus recently. To water these plants, 20,000 litres per day is required which is quite a huge quantity. JNTUA campus is suffering from acute water shortage due to lowest rainfall in the region. The underground water is also a rare commodity as the ground water table is at depths greater than 600m. However, the University campus generates huge amount of sewage water from different hostels and other buildings. To demonstrate and encourage the systems of environmental protection and sustainability to the students, the University took the responsibility to save this water by installing a 125kLD sewage treatment plant for Rs.42.5 Lakhs in the campus.
The government is encouraging to implement solar power utilization due to severe power problem in Andhra Pradesh state. This region has almost 330 sunny days in a year and has got great potential to exploit the abundant solar energy. To overcome power scarcity and to utilize non conventional energy sources as a measure to environmental protection and sustainability, the University is in the process to install Solar Photo Voltaic for Rs.800 Lakhs over the roofs of University Administrative block and over the buildings of JNTUA College of Engineering, Ananthapuramu.
Affiliations
As part of its responsibility, the University is conducting Fact Finding Committee inspection every year for grant of affiliation. Fact Finding committee inspections for 177 affiliated colleges were conducted in May, 2013 excluding Autonomous colleges. 76 faculty members were deputed to conduct the inspections. The University has granted temporary affiliation to 168 affiliated colleges and permanent affiliation to 07 colleges in the academic year 2013-14.
Admissions
At present, the JNTU Anantapur has as many as 207900 B.Tech., 11825 B.Pharm., 900 Pharm.D, 120 Pharm-D(PB) 11292 MCA, 23760 MBA, 12597 M.Tech, 4548 M.Pharm and 79 M.Sc. students on rolls in its Constituent and Affiliated Colleges.

Category B seats have been ratified by the Admissions Directorate for the affiliated colleges of JNTUA on behalf of APSCHE. The Ph.D. and M.Phil. admissions are in progress, about 1240 applications have been received.
Curriculum
Curriculum revision is an extremely important part of a university's mission. During the World War II, Engineering curricula fully embraced a practical oriented approach. Later in 1990s, with drastic increase in the number of colleges, curriculum is revised to provide increased attention to theoretical approach which led to sharp reduction in the time and coursework devoted to practical skills. The impact of transformation of engineering curricula is evident.
Our innovative academic curriculum is constantly updated, enabling students to explore new fields of study and provide them with skills needed to make them suitable for fast changing needs of the global employment and industrial scenario. JNTUA, in anticipation of the changing needs of future graduates has redesigned its engineering programmes. The designed programmes will prepare its graduates to be globally competitive.
Under Graduation (UG) Board of Studies Meeting comprising of experts from Indian Institutes of Technology, National Institutes of Technology and other reputed Universities in Civil, EEE, Mechanical, ECE, EIE, CSE, IT, Chemical Engg., Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Humanities and B.Pharmacy boards was held during 7th-9th June, 2013 for framing the syllabus of B.Tech. and B.Pharm. programmes for the students admitted in the non-autonomous Constituent/affiliated colleges applicable from the academic year 2013-14 onwards.
