The student-led Galgotias University Podcast Club can be a great creative platform for students who want to improve their communication and media skills alongside their academics.

Working on podcasts gives students an opportunity to practice speaking, storytelling, interviewing, listening and presenting ideas clearly. Students can also learn how to plan topics, prepare questions, communicate with guests and work together to create engaging content.

It can also help students become more confident while speaking in front of an audience. Regular participation can gradually improve vocabulary, presentation skills and the ability to express thoughts in an organized way.

From the media side, students can gain exposure to areas such as content creation, audio recording, editing, research, scripting and social-media promotion. Working as a team also develops collaboration, creativity and leadership skills.

The fees at Galgotias University depend on the course and facilities selected. For B.Tech CSE and several CSE specialisations such as AI, Data Science and AI & Data Science, the current tuition fee is around ₹1.64 lakh per year, with an annual examination fee of ₹20,000. There are also smaller charges such as student ID, insurance and caution money.

For students choosing campus accommodation, the current hostel fee is around ₹1.71 lakh per year for AC accommodation and ₹1.60 lakh per year for non-AC accommodation for the listed hostel options. Mess charges are included in the hostel fee, which makes budgeting for accommodation more convenient.

Galgotias University also offers several scholarship opportunities. Academic merit scholarships include tuition-fee waivers for high-performing students. For example, eligible students securing 95% or above in Class 12 can receive a 25% tuition-fee waiver, while students with 90–94.99% can receive a 15% tuition-fee waiver, subject to the university's scholarship conditions. There are also scholarships and benefits based on certain entrance examinations and other categories.

One underrated opportunity at Galgotias University is participating in technical clubs, workshops, hackathons and project-based activities, especially from the first year.

Many students focus mainly on classes and examinations, but these activities can provide valuable practical exposure. For CSE and AIML students, they are a great way to experiment with technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Web Development, Data Science and Cybersecurity.

Participating in these activities also gives students the chance to work with classmates, seniors and other students who have similar interests. This can improve teamwork, communication, problem-solving and networking skills while helping students discover their own areas of interest.

Another benefit is that students can use the experience to build projects and strengthen their portfolios for future internships and placements.

In my opinion,  participating in presentations, competitions and student activities can be especially helpful for building confidence at Galgotias University. These activities encourage students to step outside their comfort zone, communicate with others and express their ideas.

Technical events, hackathons and project presentations can be particularly useful for CSE students because they combine technical knowledge with teamwork and communication. Cultural events, clubs and group activities also provide opportunities to interact with new people and develop interpersonal skills.

Taking part in organizing events can further improve leadership, decision-making and time-management abilities. Even small responsibilities can help students become more comfortable taking initiative.
