This is the best college for engineering students. Students get placed well and have many facilities
Placements: Around 40-50% of students got placed in our course. The highest salary package offered is around 4 LPA - 5 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is around 1 LPA - 2 LPA. Some recruiting companies are Nestle and Pepsico. Around 80% of students secured internships in many food and dairy industries. Roles offered are quality assurance and quality checking.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are good. There is no Wi-Fi facility around the campus. Labs are good. The library is better with all the needed books. Hostel food is good. All sports and games are conducted every week. Sports and tournaments are held on campus every month.
Faculty: Teachers are professional and qualified. The teaching quality is good and well-trained. The food technology course curriculum is relevant. It can make students industry-ready. It largely depends on how well the curriculum is designed and updated to reflect the current industry and the practical skills. Semester exams are much more difficult to vary in different subjects. The pass percentage is 35%.
Other: This course is better I feel than another course which teaches about food. The best thing about this course is that we can learn about the quality of food and beverages. The improvement would be more lab sessions to be conducted. All fests, events, campus crowds, and activities are conducted during our course.

The college offers excellent facilities including top-notch hostels and canteens.
Placements: Almost 80% of students are placed in the course. I did have to know about this clearly and get to know. Since I haven't gathered enough information about this. Top recruiting companies are for our food technology courses, and the percentage of students who can get internships from our courses are almost everyone.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure in our department are very modest. It does have Wi-Fi, lifts, excellent labs, spacious classrooms with projectors to learn classes by faculty, and even we have the best library. The quality of the facilities in the hostel, the quality of the food in the mess, and the canteen sports and games is the best I have ever seen. This is the most unique and the best experience I have ever had.
Faculty: The teachers were very helpful to us. Even at teaching the subjects and also helping us in doing the projects. They are also highly knowledgeable, qualified, and helpful. Semester exams are a bit difficult since everything is a matter of results. So it does matter, and it is a bit difficult.
Other: I chose this course. Since I always care about what I eat, I wanted to learn more about food care, food health, etc. And that's how I chose this course to make myself better and make everyone else better by knowing about the food much better. Events, fests, campus crowds, connectivity, and extracurricular activities are all part of this whole college. Our college/university has its own uniqueness like ever. This is the best college where we can study as much as we want and enjoy as much as we want. The best one I have ever had.

I joined the college and I personally love how it's going here. Everything is perfect.
Placements: The internship here are provided by the college itself. Or else you can choose it according to your choice. Package starting here 5-6 LPA for our batch. And many more to go. The faculty members are so cooperative and help you in every field. So I must say whoever wants to join this college they can without thinking. Yes, the course is a little bit difficult, so you have to study a lot for it. Be prepared, but the outcome will be best, I agree.
Infrastructure: The class labs and everything are perfect here. The library is so vast and big here. There are separate rooms for students to read, group discussion, and self-study, and so many books for every field. It's best to study here without any other thinking. Cultural activities always happen here. There are several clubs or groups here for dance, song, etc. The medical college is also inside here, so there is no worry if you are sick. Wi-Fi connections are all over the college.
Faculty: The teachers here are highly qualified with Ph.D. degrees and they have vast knowledge and experience in the courses. The exams here are a little bit difficult to crack, but the faculty members help in that case. They teach us what is needed and give so much of their time to teach us.

It is a good institute to pursue an M.Sc. Food Technology.
Placements: About half the students in our senior batch were placed in companies such as Nestle, Britannia, Upgrade, Syngene, etc. The highest salary package is 8 LPA and the lowest is 3 LPA. Almost everyone who had opted to do an internship got one. Top roles offered include analysts, sales, etc.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure with regard to classrooms and the library is really great. However, more improvement must be given to labs. The food in the hostel mess and canteens is also great. The hostel facilities are really great and almost everything is available on the campus itself. There is not much need to go out of campus to buy essential things.
Faculty: Professors are well qualified, and their teaching quality is outstanding. The curriculum is set as per industry standards. Semester exams and internal exams are relatively easy. The pass percentage is about 100%. Marks are also allotted for presentations and assignments.
Other: I chose FST out of my own interest and also due to the growing demand for food technologists. The lab infrastructure could be much better at GITAM. Events, fests, etc., are great here, and extracurricular activities are very much appreciated.
