Scholarships at GITAM (Deemed to be University) are offered on a first-come-first-serve basis. GITAM admissions via scholarships consider up to 20% of the sanctioned intake (except for Architecture & Physiotherapy, Engineering Core Branches, and Humanities branches), while for other programmes it is up to 50%. The institution has mainly five scholarship slabs, presented in the form of 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% and 15% tuition and fee waivers. However, there are scholarship schemes such as Employee Children Scholarships (60%, 40% and 20% waivers), Loyalty Scholarships (10% waiver) and Sports Scholarships, which offer rather an unconventional amount of fee waivers.

I'm very much satisfied with joining this college.

Placements: Mostly, those who were capable of passing the interview and answering the questions will all be placed in good companies. The minimum starting package for our BCA is 3.5 LPA to 4.5 LPA. There are many good companies that come to our campus, like Infosys, TCL, Dell and many more. Recently, one of our seniors got placed at Dell for an 8 LPA package. Internships will not be provided for any of the students in the college. We need to search, or we can ask faculty, who will suggest.
