Course Curriculum Overview
The Curriculum is updated after every AY, but still, the lack of timely communication between students and faculty is a bit of a hard hassle; few times, the changes are outdated, and sometimes they are thought way ahead, it all depends, but the happy part is that they are open to change.
Fees and Financial Aid
The tuition fees are on par with the facilities that are offered; the fee structure varies from course to course. The regularity of hikes is very low; if any, they are well informed. My Total tuition fee comes to around 3 Lakhs(for 3 years), which is fair enough given the standard. The Hostel fees depend on the type of hostel you choose. The Scholarships to be availed are availed max at the time of admission through merit or sports scholarships, to get a scholarship later is a near to impossible task.
Campus Life
The Vizag campus has 42 Student Life Clubs, 12 Sports Clubs, and 4 societies. There are numerous ways where you can find the club of your choice. Shore fest is the University Fest for GITAM. All the major clubs host their Fests annually. There are around 8 major fests Happening for every AY. 250+ events are collectively organised every AY.
Admission
Eligibility for my course was PCB in 12th; the application form and other details can be found on the official website. You have to write an entrance exam which is for 200 marks, no negative marking. The test will be conducted around 3-4 times in a year. after you finish your exams, within 2 weeks, you will get the results, after which you have to apply for online counselling, and later on, a coordinator will contact you for further proceedings.
Faculty
There is a mix of faculty members in terms of their expertise and experience. There are senior faculty who have an outdated knowledge of the subject and keep nagging about it over the years; there are also senior faculty who upskill themselves every day for the benefit of the class. Recently, there have been many young faculty members appointed whose skills are yet to be put into practice to see an impact.
