Remarks
The college offers all the resources to the students who are interested in learning and pursuing opportunities. But it fails to inspire the students who lack a sense of direction. It provides a platform for students to explore and develop technical and social skills. But at the same time they are very money driven. Failing to meet the 75% attendance requirement will cost the students as high as 10,000 rupees.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum is basic and feels a little outdated. It includes the essential base skills for a software engineer but additional skills would have to be obtained outside of college to be able to secure a satisfying job.
Placement Experience
The college provides interview training before graduation and companies do come to the college with job offers. Though the number of students that land decent and satisfying jobs are very low in number. Pursuing outside internships are encouraged in the final year of study, but I am not aware of the college providing any directly.
College Events
The college has a Literary and Cultural fest, called Zenith. (Earlier name: Lavz O' Philia) Art fest called Art Beat The signature cultural fest called Pramana The college also holds workshops and other technical seminars on a regular basis.
Fee Structure And Facilities
The fee for an engineering degree amounts to 2,50,000 rupees a year. Excluding transportation facilities. This is certainly not affordable to the general middle class sector of people. It's expensive and the students that come here are fairly well off.
Fees and Financial Aid
The college offers a discount in fee to those who have scored exceptionally on the GITAM Admission Test. I also have a friend who started his computer science degree in GITAM, but has studied the same course for 1 year before it. The college offered him a 50,000 discount here for every year.
Campus Life
The college has sports teams and they go to inter college tournaments a few times a year. The labs are well equipped and there are several student bodies that enable students to partake in and conduct events in the college.
Alumni/Alumna
Seniors in the college are helpful. People who have passed out generally aren't in touch with the college population. Every year the college holds an alumni meet and those are the only sources of interactions with passed out seniors.
Admission
I've written the GITAM Admission Test and visited to the college during admissions time in the June of 2017. I was asked to choose a course of study and show my results from Intermediate State Board. Once my credentials were approved, the admission procedure had begun.
Faculty
The faculty is adequately qualified and experienced in the subjects they teach. Though a lot of them lack the appropriate communication skills to teach complex subjects or even create interest in the dull ones.
