Founded in 2001

Sri Aditya Educational Society (Est. 2000) established Aditya Institute of Technology and Management in 2001 as a technical institution to impart the highest quality and standards in north coastal Andhra Pradesh under the aegis of eminent academicians, educationists, and professionals.

Aditya Institute of Technology and Management is located at K. Kotturu, Tekkali, Srikakulam District, Andhra Pradesh. It is spread over a clean, green, and serene 50-acre area. The institute has the beauty of a modern-day Gurukul. It is situated on the banks of the river Vamsadhara nearby, with the sea an hour's journey away. The institute enjoys a pleasant coastal climate.

The college is marching ahead under the able guidance of Chairman Rtn (PHF) Dr. K. Someswara Rao, who is a pediatrician by profession and committed to social service with a special focus on technical education, with unstinted support from Secretary Sri. L.L. Naidu, Director Prof. V.V. Nageswara Rao, and other members of the Sri Aditya Educational Society.

The Aditya Institute of Technology and Management is ranked among the best self-financing colleges in north coastal Andhra Pradesh, as it sets the highest standards in all areas of curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular activities and in students' placements. The fact that seats are filled in all branches every academic year is evidence that the college has gained a reputation in the field of technical education. The college is affiliated to JNTU Kakinada and hence follows the curricula prescribed by the Boards of Studies of the affiliating university. Based on industry and student feedback, the college faculty interacts with the university in updating the curriculum from time to time. The college offers some value-added courses to its students in addition to the curriculum prescribed by the university.

The success of the college is due to its well-qualified faculty (out of 390 total faculty members, 115 have Ph.D.s, 156 have postgraduate qualifications, with 127 registered for Ph.D. and 7 having submitted their theses) and several of them with rich experience in higher institutes of learning nationwide. The senior faculty members always guide the junior faculty in honing their teaching and research skills. The progress of each course in every semester is closely monitored by a class committee which includes representatives from students. The Electronic Digital Examination Process System for end-semester examinations and the online internal examination system are salient features of the evaluation system followed.

The college encourages its faculty to pursue further research, consultancy, and extension activities apart from teaching. The college motivates its faculty to continue their research work. As a result, 33 of the faculty members are currently registered for Ph.D. in various universities. The research work carried out by the faculty has resulted in the publication of 150 papers in journals and at conferences during the last 5 years. The faculty and students of the college take part in extension activities by conducting short-term courses and participating in rural development work in neighboring villages through collaboration with reputed social organizations. For its social service, the college has been awarded the prestigious gold medal from the Hon'ble Governor of Andhra Pradesh.

The college has a total built-up area of 62,459 sq.m with 49 classrooms, 3 seminar halls of different sizes, and 74 laboratories.
