RISE Krishna Sai Prakasam Group of Institutions (RPRA), established in 2009 in Ongole, Prakasam District, Andhra Pradesh, is a premier private, self-funded engineering and management institution. Approved by the AICTE and permanently affiliated with Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTUK), Kakinada, the institute holds an 'A' Grade certification from the Government of Andhra Pradesh. It offers merit-oriented undergraduate (B.Tech, including Lateral Entry) and postgraduate (M.Tech, MBA, MCA) programs. Admissions strictly follow the regulatory frameworks established by the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE).
Admissions at the institution are bifurcated into two primary pathways: the State Convener Quota (Category A) and the Management Quota (Category B).
Convener Quota (Category A - 70% to 75% of Seats):
For B.Tech (1st Year), candidates must secure a valid rank in the Andhra Pradesh Engineering, Agriculture, and Medical Common Entrance Test (AP EAMCET / EAPCET). For B.Tech Lateral Entry (2nd Year), a valid AP ECET score is required.
For MBA and MCA, seats are filled based on the Andhra Pradesh Integrated Common Entrance Test (AP ICET) performance.
For M.Tech, selection relies heavily on the GATE or Andhra Pradesh Post Graduate Engineering Common Entrance Test (AP PGECET) merit list.
Eligible candidates must participate in the web-based centralized counseling portal managed by APSCHE, where they complete online registration, submit preferences via web options selecting RISE as their target institute, and receive seat allocations.
Management Quota (Category B - 25% to 30% of Seats): Candidates can apply directly to the institution. While priority is assigned to students possessing valid state or national entrance exam scorecards, direct admissions are also extended based on merit in the qualifying intermediate or graduation examinations, subject to verification by JNTUK.
The admissions timeline aligns with the official academic updates issued by APSCHE for the 2026 session. Due to adjustments in state result declarations, web options and seat confirmations are scheduled as follows:
Counselling Processing Fees: Paid online via the APSCHE portal during registration. It typically stands around INR 1,200 for OC/BC candidates and INR 600 for SC/ST candidates.
