Overall best college for M.A. In Applied Psychology Course.

Placements: Our college's placement cell is good. This is the only department that includes a placement cell. They are good, and we have many options, but they are limited in comparison to other institutions because this is a good college that prioritizes higher education. Every year, companies like Apollo Hospital, Max Healthcare, and CSIR make visits to the campus. The top wage is 10 LPA. We have internships available. Higher-level positions include Forensic Psychologist, Counselling Psychologist, and so ...

Great infrastructure and faculty of Gandhian school of humanities and social sciences .

Placements: The placement of this particular course in gitam isint great, and anyways most of the people do not really wanna get into job sector right after B.A. so They often pursue a master’s degree instead. However, internship opportunities are excellent; even IITS provide internships to economics graduates from GITAM.

Very much satisfied with facilities, infrastructure, faculty, and student life.

A student life at Gitam Visakhapatnam.

Placements: There are 4 students currently pursuing a B.A. in English literature. The highest package you can expect from this course is 8 LPA; however, it depends on your skills. Many students did internships in this course. Most of the students start their internship from the 2nd year. After completion of this course, one can become a translator for many big companies or business meetings. They can become an English teacher or professor, etc.

Absolutely satisfied with the course .

Placements: There were very less placements for this course as most of them prefer going to masters and also other competitive exams after this course. The graduates of this course mostly prefer to work in any NGO'S, organizations or go for higher studies in interested fields.
