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 satisfied with hotels and food. Faculty members are okay types.

Infrastructure: Hostel facility is good because they charge a lot of money for that. Food is hygienic as well they also provide various facilities like gym, indoor games, basketball, cricket, and football. There are also vending machines which make it a bit easy to buy food as it saves time from going outside.
