Galgotias University - a scam masquerading as a University

The college is amazing if you want only amazing placements and don't want to live the actual college life, the city itself sucks where this college is located, locals are thugs (they used to be actual thugs and thieves a generation ago, so they haven't lost their ways), the education is mostly self dependant, you'll have to study on your own, also the management of the college is pure evil, it's like they have some sort of vendatta against students.

Pretty standard course, the teachers are knowledgeable, but the attendance criterion turns students into zombies that attend college only for attendance and teachers uninterested in teaching. The exam structure consists of 20% internal marks (quizzes, assignments etc.) + 30% mid semester exam marks + 50% end semester exam marks.

The college does not provide any kind of internship, if anything they won't even give you attendance if you're interning somewhere outside, hence you'll be barred from giving exams, this was a personal experience. The placements however are amazing, many service based companies come and take students, also many average, if not amazing product based companies visit the college during placements.

The college has an annual fest called G Quasar, it is pretty amazing, they call great artists in that, it is held at GCET, different movie stars also visit the university for promotion of their movies, they also call MTv for fresher parties.

The fee structure is feasible, but there an asterisk mark over it. Fees is usually 1.6-7 lacs per year but there are hidden charges, every semester they would make you pay for ebooks and that too by standing in a line among 3000 other students, and if you don't pay it on the day they decide, it's a 200 rupees fine each day for delay, so there's that.

Yes, loans are provided by all major banks as long as your marks are good, also, you can apply for state government student scholarship programs, my friend this year recieved about 50000 in scholarship, which helps in study expenses.

Labs are OK, I have to say so since I've seen better labs at my school level, the computer labs are fine, they have enough labs for all students, for sports you have to be self dependant, college doesn't provide you facility for competitions etc, extra curricular activities are negligible, so forget anything fun.

I did live in the college hostel, the infrastructure was amazing, you wouldn't find any better, but ugh the food, you'll die in a week, also the hostel us like 13 kilometers from main city, so forgot any life outside of hostel.

No such network exists, so there's no help on that part, anyone who once passes out of here never even wants to come back to this God forsaken city let alone this, so much alumni network exists. There's also no help from the college departments in this.

I gave GEEE, got shortlisted and was invited for an interview. Brought my marksheets and a Demand Draft of first year fees along to be paid at the time of admission. The whole admission drive was held at GCET, where I was offered admission.

Faculty is knowledgeable but the crowd makes them uninterested in teaching. Also, most of the CSE department faculty is from southern Indian States, so there is a language barrier between students who are not fluent in English.
