An Overview about ITM University, Gwalior

Thanks for giving me a good lifetime experience. Additional I would request to upgrade your course and exam system. Please celebrate the creativity in the students.

The course curriculum was too extensive in my experience. I studied a lot of unrelated subjects which I never needed to apply in the industry. The exam structure is very much school-like. You need to remember everything to get good marks in the college. The exam structure is totally irrelevant and it was surely not research-driven. I would say that the exams played a very little role in shaping me a better professional. Our curriculum is definitely not groomed enough to provide industry-specific knowledge. The course was very old age. There were very few industry visits organized by our college.I had just 1 opportunity for industrial visit.

Placement drive of my college was very average. Just 8 or 9 core IT Companies came to our college. They were too offering very low package. Companies which came were Infosys, Wipro, IBM, Hexaware technology, Byjus( for Business Associate), and some small cap IT firms. The steps followed in the recruitment driver were- First there was an Aptitude test, then a technical test and lastly technical plus HR interview. Approximately 30% of the students from our college got placed from our campus. Our college did some additional arrangements to prepare the students for the placement season. We had some aptitude class along with some personality development classes. The preparation sessions for the drive was good.

In our college, we celebrated annual festivals and technical festivals. Our technical festival was named as Kronos. There were many events in Kronos. A lot of guest lecturers are invited to provide some valuable information about Environment sustainability and Global warming. Almost 2000 persons participate in the Kronos every year. It was a huge event for our college.

Fee Structure was a little experience for a middle class person. It was Rs 1,15,000 per year. The hostel fees was also Rs 96,000. The program fee was Rs 1,15,000. College accepted every mode of payment including online banking, UPI payment or cash. There was no additional fees to secure an addmission to my course. There was transparency in the fee-breakdown. There was no unknown charges by our college. There was a proper break down for the program fee.

There was no scholarship provided by the college. Initially, they offered a scholarship for the students who achieved more than 80% marks in 12th class. Later, they backtracked about their promise. Later they said that students who had 80% marks in Physics, chemistry and Mathematics will get the scholarship. The scholarship amount would be Rs 20000.

The gender ratio was very poor. I would say a gender ratio of 7:3. Girls were very less in our college. There were some cultural societies in our college. We had some foreigners in our college too. They had a cultural group among themselves. Our college was very diverse. We had students from all part of the country. There were students from Afganistan and Zambia too. In my view, I would say students were very tolerant with regards to race, gender, religion or sexual orientation. About politics, there were some intolerance among some elements in our college. There was little politics between them. In general, everyone were kind to eachother and respect their beliefs. On economic status, there were some show-offs. But none disregarded anyone if they are of low income family. I had never seen a case of intolerance based on economic status.

Alumni meet happens very rarely. The seniors which I have interacted with were very helpful and supporting. They gave me proper advice about how to prepare for product based companies.

I got a call from ITM University, Gwalior for an interview and a written test. I appeared in the test and qualified for the interview. I was asked about my 12 results and favourite subjects. They asked me about the branch I wanted to choose. I chose Computer Science as my branch. I chose that college because of their infrastructure and quality of the professors. One of my seniors was studying there. I asked him about the college and he gave very positive reviews. That's why I decided to enroll myself into ITM University.

The faculty of my college was very good. They always try to solve our issue. They always listen to our problems and suggest solutions like a proper guide. There were 20 lecturers in my course. Their average age would be around 34. All of them were at least masters in technology and some were PhD too. The head of department was a PhD. About the expertise in providing clarity about the subject, I would rate them very highly. They had proper subject knowledge. Most of the professors were well experienced. Very few lecturers had any relevant industry-specific experience. But they had certification in the relevant subjects.
