Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya B.Tech Review By Pushpal Sanyal

Earlier known as National Rail and Transportation Institute (NRTI), Gati Shakti University (or Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya) is a hidden gem among other GFTIs. Basically, for me, I opted for this university because my whole paternal side of family is employed in Indian Railways. I saw a great future in GSV after 3-4 years because of PSUs directly coming to the university for campus placements. Also, academics here are the best from the experienced faculties coming directly from IITs and NITs to teach us. Because our institute directly comes under the Ministry of Railways, Government of India, we get proper guidance and support from the administration and other staff members here. Also, because of the same reason, we get a good reputation from students and faculties of other universities. I believe that you should definitely opt for Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya if you aim for a government job or a secure future.

I took admission in B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering (specialization in Railways Engineering). The eligibility for this course is that you should have qualified the JEE Main examination with a percentile of more than 85-88. This branch makes you industry relevant in Railways with its superior course outline. My paternal side of the family recommended this university as this has a great future in the following 4-5 years.

We have two types of faculties here at Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya - permanent and visiting. The permanent faculties are all Ph.D qualified from IITs and NITs and the visiting faculties are currently teaching at NITs and IITs itself. The visiting faculties are also highly qualified. The way of teaching of both types of faculties is fantastic. They ensure the proper use of today's technology in providing valuable lectures to us. As our batch strength is lower compared to other universities, we get a personalized attention from the faculties.

Yes, we do have a dedicated Placement Cell working for the betterment of students' futures. It's known as Career Development Cell (CDC). It tries to ensure that every student must have at least two job offers in hand by the time they are in their third year - as stated by our railway minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw Ji in one of his press conferences on Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya. Also, our Placement Cell finds and brings as many companies as they can to our campus.

There are air conditioners, geysers, washing machines and personal bathrooms for every student in our university. Every room has Wi-Fi which provides us with high-speed internet.

Our classrooms and libraries are equipped with air conditioners and Wi-Fis to ensure us comfort and connectivity. We have a world class mess facility serving us 4 times delicious meals in a day with varying cuisines. There are badminton courts, basketball and volleyball courts, football and cricket field in the campus.

We have various clubs in our university such as Music Club Malhaar, Literary Club, Business Club, Event Management Club, Technocrats Club, Media and Tech Club, Debate and Quiz Club, etc. We have three fests in our university - Agnee (cultural festival), Ojasaya (Sports festival) and Epitome (Technology festival). The crowd present here is well educated and well behaved.
