GITAM University B.Sc Review By Vidhya Karunasree

I chose GITAM for several reasons; their academics are very good, there is a wide range of programmes, the campus infrastructure is great, they have connections with placements, and have a separate Placement Cell. This college has tie-ups with leading companies, facilitating internships and placements for students. Here, graduates are well prepared for the professional world. I highly recommend GITAM to other students seeking a comprehensive educational experience.

In GITAM, courses are offered across many departments like engineering and management to business development. Each programme has its own specific entry requirements. For engineering programme, the eligibility is passing 10 plus 2 with physics, chemistry, and mathematics as core subjects. Students have to give GITAM Admission Test (GAT) or other national examinations.

Faculty members are from diverse backgrounds bringing the best academic experience and industry experience to the classroom. Many faculties hold Ph.D or masters degree from reputed institutions both in India and abroad. The teaching style at GITAM is dynamic and student centric. Faculty members employ methods such as lectures, discussions, group projects, and hands on activities to engage students and promote active learning.

Yes, GITAM has a Placement Cell that assists students in securing jobs in the industry. The effectiveness of the Placement Cell depends on factors such as students’ skills, qualifications, and their efforts for utilising the Placement Cell.

Yes, GITAM provides hostels for students for girls and boys separately with in the campus itself. The hostel life at GITAM is comfortable. The hostel provides facilities like small room with 2 beds, chairs, study table, 1 rack, internet facility, mess facility, etc.

The campus contains two buildings for academics; one for B.Tech which is called as Shivaji Bhavan and one for degree which is Vishweshwaraya Bhavan. These blocks contain classrooms, laboratories, faculty offices, administrative offices, and library. The classrooms are built with modern infrastructure to facilitate teaching, learning, and research activities. They often feature libraries, auditoriums, seminar halls, computer labs, etc.

The campus attracts students from diverse backgrounds, regions, and cultures which create an inclusive environment, with a mix of local, national, and international students. There are students clubs and organisations which bring different passions and interests. These clubs cover areas such as sports, arts, entrepreneurship, culture, technology, and social causes. There are regular fests and events in our college but the sad thing is that we have to pay for it.
