Vasireddy Venkatadri Institute of Technology (VVIT) was established in the year 2007 by Social Educational Trust. This society was founded by Sri Vasireddy Vidyasagar. The Institution was started with four AICTE approved undergraduate programmes in Departments of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE), Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Information Technology (IT) with an overall intake of 240 students. Later programmes in Departments of Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering were also inducted. This year (2014-15), the college has grown manifold with a total student intake of 1026 pursuing courses in six undergraduate and eight postgraduate programmes of engineering. The vision of the Institute is to impart quality education through exploration and experimentation and generate socially-conscious engineers, embedding ethics and values, for the advancement in science and technology. Though the affiliating University introduces curriculum, based on the feedback of industry, students and faculty members, the Institute assesses the existing curriculum and adds extra topics beyond the syllabus. Electives are offered by the affiliating University at both post graduate and under graduate levels in terms of specializations. All programmes offered by the Institute are semester based. The intake of programmes approved by AICTE and affiliated to JNTUK Kakinada is as follows.
