GITAM Bengaluru B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Gitam University offers three main admission pathways: the Gitam Admission Test, KCET or COMEDK (Karnataka State Entrance Exam), and management quota. Admission through management quota is costlier, approximately double the KCET. Successful candidates are invited for counseling to choose their programs based on availability. The entrance exam, similar to JEE Mains, includes MCQs based on 12th standard topics. Faculty, about 400, have a 1:40 ratio with students, facilitating good interaction. While most have advanced degrees, teaching effectiveness varies, especially in newer subjects. The fee structure differs by admission route: KCET students pay about ₹89,200 to ₹94,000 annually, COMEDK students pay ₹150,000 to ₹170,000, and direct admissions cost ₹272,000 to ₹300,000. Hostel fees range from ₹54,000, with mess charges at ₹3,500 to ₹4,000 monthly. Placement opportunities are strong with a dedicated Campus Placement Cell. Over 50 companies, including Amazon and Google, visit annually. The highest package can reach 60 lakhs per annum, while average packages are around 6-8 lakhs, with some reporting as low as 3.5 lakhs. Placement rates are 70-90%. Scholarships based on merit, attendance, and financial need are available. Students with a CGPA above 8 and parents earning less than INR 3 lakhs may qualify. Scholarships offer hostel fee concessions and discounts for high GAT ranks. Financial aid is accessible through Union Bank on campus. The college's status as a "deemed to be university" justifies its higher fees, but they remain a concern for middle-class students.
