This program is meticulously designed to provide students with a profound understanding of both foundational and advanced concepts in AI&ML, rooted in the core principles of computer science engineering.

Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE)

The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at Vikas Group of Institutions was established in the year 2010 to start a 4-year B.Tech degree programme(with an annual in-take of 120 students) affiliated to the jntuk University. The first batch of students graduated from the department in the year 2014. A post graduate programme leading to M.Tech. degree in ‘VLSI’ & ‘DECS’ was introduced in the year 2012.

Civil Engineering

Civil engineering includes the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of large and permanent engineering projects of our civilization. Civil engineers are in demand wherever there are people. The major subdivisions of civil engineering are structural, geotechnical, environmental, sanitary, water resources, and transportation engineering.

Mechanical Engineering

Department of mechanical engineering has established in the year 2009. Department of mechanical engineering is one of the oldest branches’ of engineering. Department has well equipped laboratories, Workshops and other infrastructure facilities. Students of mechanical engineering are exposed to the latest topics in the area of design, thermal , manufacturing, material science , materials engineering etc.

Agricultural Engineering

In the process of “Grow More Food Programme” and “Green Revolutions”, more importance was given to the Agricultural Engineering activities for increasing the agricultural production. With this objective, the Agricultural Engineering wing formed in 2014 as a new Department.

Pharmacy
