The admission process in NIST is based on the Andhra Pradesh Engineering Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test, which at the state level is conducted by AP EAMCET. This entrance examination serves as the prime portal for aspiring engineers seeking admission into these technical institutions in Andhra Pradesh. NIST accepts EAMCET scores; hence, the admission process in this university is quite fair and uniform. It is worth mentioning that students who are applying to the institute have to look closely at the AP EAMCET examination dates and the consequent counselling process, since admission in NIST occurs purely on the basis of rank in AP EAMCET.

State-of-the-art labs at NIST cater to practical learning of students in all branches of engineering. Specialised laboratories include Microwave Lab, Electronic Devices and Circuits Lab, Microprocessor Lab, Digital Signal Processing Lab, VLSI Lab, and many more. The institution has also provided the facilities for a canteen with diversified food and a transport facility that caters to the safe and timely pick up and drop services of students and staff from various city locations. With state-of-the-art facilities and well-designed academic programs, NIST aims at creating an atmosphere most conducive to learning and innovation and to prepare students at the undergraduate level for successful careers in the dynamic field of engineering.
