Very good infrastructure.

Placements: Top recruitment companies which offer placements at Gitam University Hyderabad are Amazon, Microsoft, TCS, Intel, etc. The highest package offered here at Gitam University Hyderabad is 50 LPA. The average package offered here at Gitam University Hyderabad is 9.9 LPA. The percentage of students placed is 71%.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure available here is far better compared to other universities. The rooms are neatly maintained with workers cleaning every day. All the classrooms, library, and mess are maintained with air conditioning and cleaned every day.

Faculty: Some faculty present here have very good knowledge of the subject, but they fail at making students understand what they are teaching. Semester exams here are not that tough if you go through the materials and the books recommended by the faculty thoroughly, which will be enough to score well in the exams.

4Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Dr. M.G.R. Educational and Research Institute.

Placements: In my course, MCA, around 75-80% of students were placed through campus recruitment. The highest package offered was around 8-10 LPA, the lowest around 3 LPA, and the average around 4.5-5 LPA. Top recruiting companies included TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Cognizant, HCL, and Accenture, along with a few product-based startups. Around 60-65% of students received internships, mainly in companies like Zoho, Virtusa, CTS, and Capgemini, where they worked on real-time projects. The top roles offered were Software Developer, Full Stack Developer, Data Analyst, System Engineer, and Associate Consultant. Overall, the course provided good placement opportunities and strong industry exposure.

Infrastructure: Our department has good infrastructure facilities such as spacious classrooms, projectors, well-equipped computer labs with high-speed Wi-Fi, and a central library with a wide collection of books and e-resources. The hostel facilities are decent, with proper rooms, 24/7 water and electricity, and security. Mess food is satisfactory with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, while the canteen offers snacks and beverages. The campus also provides medical facilities, a health center, and ambulance support. For recreation, there are facilities for sports and games such as cricket, football, volleyball, badminton, and indoor games, ensuring a balanced campus life.

Faculty: Faculty members in our course are highly qualified, knowledgeable, and supportive. Most of them explain concepts clearly and are approachable for doubts beyond class hours. The curriculum is regularly updated and covers important subjects in programming, databases, networking, and emerging technologies, which helps students become industry-ready. The teaching quality is good, with practical sessions, projects, and seminars adding more value. The semester exams are of moderate difficulty, focusing more on understanding concepts rather than written learning.

Other: I chose the MCA course because of my interest in programming, software development, and the opportunities it provides in the IT industry. Best things about this course are the practical exposure, supportive faculty, and good placement opportunities with reputed companies. Our campus also conducts technical events, cultural fests, and workshops that give us a chance to learn and showcase our skills.

2Placements2Infrastructure2Faculty2Crowd & Campus Life2Value for Money

Fate to join this college.

Placements: There are 38 students in my class morning shift, the highest range will be Rs. 25000, and the lowest will be Rs. 10,000. We didn't know any of the companies yet; they didn't ask us to go for an internship. They are not top roles and will be the bare minimum; placements are very bad.

Infrastructure: Most facilities will be more fun and friendly with students, but some make us feel very bad about the infrastructure. Wi-Fi will not be available, and labs do not really help us to work. Classrooms are literally bad, and benches are not good; this will cause back pain. We have only four classes and then one break. The hostel is available, and the food in the canteen is not too good. Medical facilities are available, sports and games are not very motivating in this course, and the ground will not be provided for the commerce group.

Faculty: Teachers are more helpful, and some are qualified, while others don't know the subject matter they teach. This course does not equip us to walk into interviews; we need many skills to be industry-ready. Semester exams will be so much easier to attend; the corrections will be relevant.

Other: Events are not even available, fests will not be celebrated, and there will be campus crowds. The connection is not good; the campus surroundings will not be good, and the bus stop for students will be a significant distance away. Scholarships and extracurricular activities are available.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable. They are experienced and are legal professionals. The LL.B. course is of 3 years, and it follows UGC and BCI guidelines, offering a balanced mix of law with the art of commerce and business streams.

We have different labs for different subjects in our course. The quality of facilities in the hostel is good. The food may not be good for Andhra and Telangana state students. Maybe it is good for Tamil students.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. Mainly, all teaching faculty members have a doctorate degree. They are knowledgeable. The course curriculum is relevant. They make students industry-ready. They also help students with skills and prepare them for interviews. Semester exams are not very difficult if we understand what teachers are teaching in class. It is very easy to write if we listen carefully to classes.
