My experience at GITAM

I had an amazing journey at GITAM, Bengaluru as a Computer Science undergrad. The campus is huge, clean, and environment-friendly. Hostels are attached to the campus and have single rooms which is a good reason for preferring GITAM. Management is very supportive and the curriculum is well structured.

GITAM offers a well-structured Computer Science course. Subjects, projects, and internships equipped me with the latest knowledge. Faculty are very supportive and well-versed in their field. They are always ready to help students, even beyond working hours. They maintain a healthy faculty-student ratio. We are taught in the best environment with the latest teaching techniques. Term exams are precise and test our theoretical and practical knowledge.

We are offered in-house internships with the help of our placement department. We also had a few e-commerce giants offering us internships during the third year. We worked on projects based on machine learning, IoT, blockchain, etc.

We are provided with campus placements. We are given ample opportunities and support by our placement department. We started receiving offers by the end of our third year. I was offered a job by 5 companies, out of which 4 are top MNC's and one is an e-commerce giant. An average package of 7-8 lakhs is offered. The highest package offered is 18 lakhs as a software development engineer. Almost 90 percent of students are placed.

We were offered scholarships based on our test scores. Students with enthusiasm for learning were always given scholarships. We were given a chance every semester to gain scholarship benefits and our counselors helped us through the process. The course is quite affordable.

We had lots of tech fests and cultural fests. Every year students and faculty come together to arrange and participate in these fests. The library has a myriad of academic books for reference. Classrooms are well-lit and have ample space. We had dancing, singing, painting, android, tech, etc, clubs at the campus. Students run a variety of these clubs.

We had single rooms that were equipped with a bed, a study table, a chair, and a wardrobe. Rooms were cleaned on daily basis. The quality of food provided at the mess is good. We also have a salon, stationery, and a bakery at our hostel.
