SRM University AP (SRM University Andhra Pradesh) is a private deemed university established in 2017 in Amaravati — Andhra Pradesh's new planned capital city — adjacent to Vijayawada. Part of the prestigious SRM Group, which operates SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST) in Chennai, SRM AP is designed as a research-intensive university from the ground up. The 187-acre campus on Mangalagiri National Highway is fully residential with state-of-the-art infrastructure built for the 21st century. SRM AP holds NAAC A+ accreditation and has achieved NIRF ranking in its early years. The university offers B.Tech, B.Sc, BBA, MBA, M.Tech, MSc, and PhD across Schools of Engineering & Technology, Liberal Arts & Basic Sciences, Management, and Law. SRM AP is known for its international collaborations — with universities in the USA, UK, Australia, and France — and has a significant international faculty component. The university's School of Engineering has industry-sponsored labs from companies like Dell Technologies, AWS, and Siemens. Given its location in Amaravati — the ambitious new capital being built alongside the Krishna river — SRM AP students benefit from proximity to AP's government headquarters and the emerging Amaravati smart city infrastructure.
