The central library was commissioned in 2002 and transformed into the Knowledge Resource Centre. The building was located at the heart of the campus, overlooking the vast expanse of acres. The hillock of Rushikonda, the legendary abode of saints, surrounded by green pastures and the blue ocean, is one of the visual delights in the vast panoramic view from the library.

Gitam University Bengaluru experience.

Infrastructure: The college has one of the best world-class infrastructures. It has digital classrooms, advanced labs, and SOCE for interdisciplinary practice. The main advantage is the research labs and the research opportunities available. The hostels are also very good. They provide some of the best food compared to many other colleges.

It is not a good college according to the place.

Infrastructure: The hostel was good. There were four people in a room where you got your own bed, wardrobe, table, and chair. The meal quality was good. The library here was very good. A wide range of books was available to study here. Classrooms were highly technological and innovative, with projectors and screens installed. Sports here were at a very wide range so you could participate in which one you needed.
