SKIT resumes operations, seeks admission in 2nd phase of EAMCET counselling

Srikalahasteeswara Institute Of Technology (SKIT) has been merged with JNTU-Anantapur, and the college has been listed for admissions in the second phase of EAMCET counselling, according to an official order issued here on Monday.

Established in 1997 by Bojjala Gopala Krishna Reddy as a visionary initiative, SKIT played a vital role in providing affordable engineering education to underprivileged students. However, due to alleged negligence by the previous YSRCP government, admissions to the college were halted during the academic year 2020–21.

Now, under the guidance of Minister for Education Nara Lokesh, Srikalahasti MLA Bojjala Sudheer Reddy fulfilled his election promise and revived the institution, a press release said.

Starting this academic year, junior engineering courses in Computer Science Engineering (CSE), Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), Civil Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering will be offered. This marks a new chapter in the journey of SKIT which aims at empowering the local youth with quality education, the release added.
