SRM University-AP is a state private university in the Amaravati capital region of Andhra Pradesh, with its campus at Neerukonda in Mangalagiri mandal. Founded in 2017 under the Andhra Pradesh private-university framework, it is part of the wider SRM educational legacy that began with the Nightingale School in 1969. The Amaravati campus was conceived as a research-oriented multidisciplinary university rather than as a conventional extension campus. Before opening, the university entered curriculum-design and innovation collaborations with institutions including MIT and the University of California, Berkeley ecosystem. The campus was inaugurated in July 2017 and began with engineering programs in computer science, electronics and communication, and mechanical engineering. Additional engineering areas and liberal-arts, commerce, business and basic-science offerings followed as the academic structure widened. The university now organizes study through schools covering engineering and sciences, liberal arts and social sciences, and business, with research and interdisciplinary work embedded across them. Its academic model emphasizes experiential learning, flexible combinations of subjects, undergraduate research, entrepreneurship, design thinking and international exposure. The Neerukonda campus includes laboratories, research facilities, library resources, student residences, sports spaces and collaborative learning areas. Research development has been supported by dedicated centers, doctoral programs, faculty recruitment and strategic institutional plans. SRM University-AP also publishes annual reports, statutory documents and multi-year strategic plans that track the university's institutional development. Its location in the Amaravati-Vijayawada-Guntur region places students near a growing education, government, business and infrastructure corridor. SRM University-AP, Amaravati operates within Andhra Pradesh's higher-education system and serves learners from the Amaravati region as well as students arriving from other parts of India. Its current university framework dates from 2017, while academic programs, research activity, student services and institutional partnerships continue to evolve. The institution's development reflects a continuing effort to combine degree education with research, practical learning and student development.
