Four AP Universities to offer 3+1 B.Tech with Sweden’s BTH

Andhra University, Visakhapatnam; Sri Padmavati Mahila Visvavidyalayam (SPMVV), Tirupati; Sri Venkateswara University (SVU), Tirupati; and JNTU Anantapur will offer a four-year 3+1 B.Tech programme in collaboration with BTH, located in Karlskrona, Sweden.

Under the programme, students will spend the first three years studying in Andhra Pradesh, followed by a one-year academic stint in Sweden. The international component is designed to provide students with exposure to Sweden’s technology and higher-education ecosystem while allowing them to complete the majority of their studies in India.

The programme will cover engineering streams including Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML).

According to the programme details, students will graduate with a B.Tech as well as a B.S. degree, providing them with an international academic pathway and exposure to global engineering practices.

The initiative is expected to create an attractive option for students seeking overseas academic exposure without having to undertake a full four-year degree abroad.

Counselling for prospective students is scheduled for September 9 and 11, 2026. Applicants have been advised to check the respective university websites for eligibility criteria, application procedures and other admission-related information.

The collaboration marks another step towards internationalising higher education in Andhra Pradesh and could provide students with opportunities to gain academic, cultural and professional exposure in both India and Europe.
