Overall, the best College for M.Sc. In the Data Science Course.

Infrastructure: Everything here was fantastic. The labs were well furnished. The arrangement of the classrooms was outstanding, and the departmental library was satisfactory. Wi-Fi services were accessible all across the campus. Hotel rooms may not be better, but the chaos was the same. Hospital and sports avenues are outstanding.

The college offers excellent facilities including top-notch hostels and canteens.

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.

I joined the college and I personally love how it's going here. Everything is perfect.

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.

There is one central library in the library, and there are a minimum of 7,000 books available. In the cooler there are too many canteens. All the canteens are pocket-friendly.

Review of GITAM B.Sc. Biotechnology.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of Gitam is good and boring at the at the same time they are renewing all though but still, there are some gaps. You might love the campus greenery and also the pace when nobody is around. ICT is always crowded but despite that, all the buildings have pleasant entry and classrooms are traditional for science students, whereas for engineering it's well-equipped. The structure of courses is also maintained in a good way but there are slight issues in grading, which leads to conf...

GITAM is an excellent college for freedom and enjoyment as well as study.

Infrastructure: GITAM provides maximum facilities like Wi-Fi, the best classrooms, labs and libraries. In the library, digital computers are available and huge resources are available even for competitive exams in higher education. The food was super but the fee hikes are very high and disappoint. So I look into PGs with a good budget and food available with Wi-Fi facilities; they are within walking distance of the college. Around 900 meters of good hostels are there.

Infrastructure: The college campus area is huge, to say extreme. It's about 100 acres and has many blocks with all kinds of sports, huge grounds for cricket and tennis and an indoor stadium for games like basketball and table tennis. There are a few temples inside the campus, too. The hostels, I may say, are pretty great, as they are well maintained with quite strict security. And talking about the girls hostel, it's very secure. The rooms, which are shared between 3 and 4, are averagely priced at around 80–90k...
