GITAM, VisakhapatnamAdmission, courses and campus life · 2027

GITAM Visakhapatnam is at Rushikonda in Andhra Pradesh. Established in 1980, it is part of GITAM (Deemed to be University), which has NAAC A++ accreditation. The campus offers engineering, business, science, humanities, law, pharmacy, architecture and health-science programmes.

The published first-year academic payments are ₹4,08,400 for B.Tech CSE and ₹5,69,900 for MBA. Later-year tuition increases by 5–8%, making the degree budget higher than a flat multiplication of the first-year amount. Accommodation and dining are charged separately through named residence packages.

B.Tech CSE, MBA and BBA are among the major choices. B.Tech is a four-year engineering degree, MBA is a two-year postgraduate degree and general BBA runs for three years. Engineering branches include CSE specialisations in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Cyber Security and Data Science, alongside ECE, Mechanical, Aerospace and other subjects.

The Visakhapatnam options also include integrated law, B.Pharm, nursing, architecture, science, humanities and postgraduate courses. BBA Financial Markets requires Mathematics in Class 12 and includes collaboration with NSE Academy. Each course has its own subjects, duration and selection requirements.

CSE students have access to application centres in AR/VR, Autonomous Systems and 5G Communications. The degree includes 24 credits across other schools and a compulsory two-credit venture-development course. Business facilities include Bloomberg, NSE and analytics laboratories, with case studies, projects and internships forming part of MBA study.

Residence packages vary by block, occupancy, washroom arrangement and AC category. Academic costs increase in later years, and a merit scholarship requires a minimum 8.0 CGPA for continuation. CSE applicants with 50–60% in Class 12 face additional eligibility conditions and a placement-related waiver because some employers require more than 60%.

In the Collegedunia 2026 rankings, GITAM Visakhapatnam is 238 of 500 for engineering, 30 of 200 for pharmacy and 70 of 200 for law. Computer Applications is 73 of 200, Architecture 197 of 200 and Paramedical 28 of 200.

GITAM is also 88th in the NIRF 2025 University category. That institutional position has a different scope from a Visakhapatnam course fee or an MBA placement result. The rankings page separates subject ranks and accreditation.

Students from CSE, ECE, Biomedical Engineering and MBA describe faculty support, laboratories, clubs and campus activities. Their accounts include approachable teachers and access to facilities, along with concerns about early classes, examination schedules and the balance between classroom and practical learning.

The reviews concern different degrees and individual periods of study. They provide day-to-day detail alongside the published admission requirements and programme-specific outcomes.
