The state government commenced the first batch of JNTU Amaravati in a temporary building at Narasaraopeta Engineering College (NEC) in 2016. The construction of permanent campus was delayed due to the location issue. Earlier, Pedakakani near Guntur was proposed for the construction of JNTU. However, the officials rolled back the proposal due to the reasons unknown.

JNTU Amaravati will act as an affiliating university to engineering colleges (government and private) located in Guntur, Krishna, and Prakasam districts. The state government will soon finalise the details about the construction of a permanent campus for JNTU in Amaravati.
