SRM University-AP, Amaravati, felicitated its top-performing students across disciplines at the Dean’s List Awards ceremony held on November 10, 2026. The occasion celebrated students who demonstrated exceptional academic performance, consistency, and discipline during the Odd Semester of the Academic Year 2026–27.
The Dean’s List recognises students who achieve a minimum Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) of 9.5, clear all courses in their first attempt, and maintain an exemplary disciplinary record. More than an academic distinction, the recognition reflects a commitment to continuous learning, perseverance, and excellence.
Celebrating Consistency and Academic Excellence
The Odd Semester of AY 2026–27 saw 178 students earn a place on the Dean’s List, with an impressive average SGPA of 9.79. Among them, 31 students achieved a perfect 10 SGPA, reflecting the university’s strong culture of academic achievement.
This follows the Even Semester of AY 2025–26, during which 266 students were recognised, including 89 students who secured a perfect 10 SGPA, with an average SGPA of 9.85.
Across the two semesters, 385 distinct students earned Dean’s List recognition, of whom 59 secured the distinction in both semesters. Notably, five students achieved a perfect 10 SGPA in both semesters, demonstrating exceptional consistency in academic performance.
Five Students Achieve a Perfect 10 Twice
The five students who secured a perfect 10 SGPA in both semesters were:
- Chittem Mahesh Babu – B.Tech CSE, 2023 Batch
- Anjay Chaubey – B.Tech CSE, 2024 Batch

Additionally, 13 students who achieved a perfect 10 SGPA in one of the two semesters were also recognised for their continued presence on the Dean’s List.
The recognition also highlighted sustained academic improvement. Of the 59 repeat honourees, 28 students maintained or improved their SGPA, with participants representing 15 academic programmes. Yelavarthi Anjani recorded the highest improvement, registering a remarkable increase of 0.27 points, from 9.732 to a perfect 10.
Recognising Excellence Beyond the Classroom
Addressing the gathering, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ch Satish Kumar, congratulated the awardees and appreciated both first-time achievers and students who had consistently maintained their academic distinction. He emphasised that excellence should extend beyond grades and academic records, encouraging students to pursue meaningful experiences, explore opportunities and strive for fulfilment in their personal and professional lives.
The Dean of Academic Affairs, Prof. Jatindra Kumar Dash, highlighted the rigorous and transparent process behind the Dean’s List. He said, “The Dean’s List is a celebration of our students’ dedication, academic discipline and pursuit of excellence. Achieving a place on this list requires consistent performance, perseverance and a commitment to learning.”
The Dean of the Easwari School of Liberal Arts, Prof. Vishnupad, congratulated the students and acknowledged the contributions of faculty members, mentors and families in supporting their achievements. He encouraged students to balance academic excellence with extracurricular engagement and to apply their intellectual capabilities to address contemporary societal challenges.
The Dean’s List Awards reaffirm SRM University-AP’s commitment to fostering a culture of academic rigour, merit and holistic development. By celebrating both outstanding performance and sustained improvement, the university continues to encourage students to set higher benchmarks, remain committed to their goals and pursue excellence in every endeavour.
