GITAM School of Science Visakhapatnam B.Sc Electronics: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Yes, the B.Sc. Electronics programme at GITAM Visakhapatnam specifically covers VLSI, embedded systems, IoT, and robotics as part of its curriculum. The programme is delivered by the Department of Physics and is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and industry application. Students interested in hardware design, semiconductor technologies, or embedded systems engineering will find the curriculum well-aligned with industry needs. Additionally, GITAM's tie-ups with companies like Intel, Infosys, and DRDO provide internship and project exposure in these domains.

Ans. Yes, GITAM accepts multiple entrance exam scores for admission to B.Sc. Electronics. Apart from GAT (GITAM Admission Test), the university accepts AP EAPCET, TS EAPCET, CUET (UG), JEE Main, and NEET (UG) scores. Scholarship eligibility is also linked to these exam scores. Students who do not have scores from any of these exams must mandatorily appear for GAT. The GAT is a computer-based test conducted in multiple phases throughout the year (March to August 2026), so students have multiple opportunities to appear.

Ans. The total tuition and other fees for the 3-year B.Sc. Electronics programme is Rs. 3,48,000. If you opt for on-campus hostel accommodation (non-AC), the annual hostel fee is approximately Rs. 1,50,000 (inclusive of mess charges), which adds up to Rs. 4,50,000 over three years. So the total cost including hostel would be approximately Rs. 7,98,000 for the full course duration. AC rooms are available at higher rates. Students on a tighter budget can also opt for nearby PGs in Rushikonda and Sagar Nagar areas, which cost between Rs. 6,000 and Rs. 10,000 per month.

Ans. Graduates of B.Sc. Electronics from GITAM can pursue careers as Embedded Systems Engineers, Hardware Design Engineers, IoT Engineers, VLSI Design Engineers, Robotics Engineers, Software Engineers, EV Maintenance Experts, and QA Engineers. Many graduates also go on to pursue M.Sc. Electronics, M.Tech, or MBA programmes.
