The college offers excellent facilities including top-notch hostels and canteens.
Placements: Almost 80% of students are placed in the course. I did have to know about this clearly and get to know. Since I haven't gathered enough information about this. Top recruiting companies are for our food technology courses, and the percentage of students who can get internships from our courses are almost everyone.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure in our department are very modest. It does have Wi-Fi, lifts, excellent labs, spacious classrooms with projectors to learn classes by faculty, and even we have the best library. The quality of the facilities in the hostel, the quality of the food in the mess, and the canteen sports and games is the best I have ever seen. This is the most unique and the best experience I have ever had.
Faculty: The teachers were very helpful to us. Even at teaching the subjects and also helping us in doing the projects. They are also highly knowledgeable, qualified, and helpful. Semester exams are a bit difficult since everything is a matter of results. So it does matter, and it is a bit difficult.
Other: I chose this course. Since I always care about what I eat, I wanted to learn more about food care, food health, etc. And that's how I chose this course to make myself better and make everyone else better by knowing about the food much better. Events, fests, campus crowds, connectivity, and extracurricular activities are all part of this whole college. Our college/university has its own uniqueness like ever. This is the best college where we can study as much as we want and enjoy as much as we want. The best one I have ever had.

I joined the college and I personally love how it's going here. Everything is perfect.
Placements: The internship here are provided by the college itself. Or else you can choose it according to your choice. Package starting here 5-6 LPA for our batch. And many more to go. The faculty members are so cooperative and help you in every field. So I must say whoever wants to join this college they can without thinking. Yes, the course is a little bit difficult, so you have to study a lot for it. Be prepared, but the outcome will be best, I agree.
Infrastructure: The class labs and everything are perfect here. The library is so vast and big here. There are separate rooms for students to read, group discussion, and self-study, and so many books for every field. It's best to study here without any other thinking. Cultural activities always happen here. There are several clubs or groups here for dance, song, etc. The medical college is also inside here, so there is no worry if you are sick. Wi-Fi connections are all over the college.
Faculty: The teachers here are highly qualified with Ph.D. degrees and they have vast knowledge and experience in the courses. The exams here are a little bit difficult to crack, but the faculty members help in that case. They teach us what is needed and give so much of their time to teach us.

It is a good institute to pursue an M.Sc. Food Technology.
Placements: About half the students in our senior batch were placed in companies such as Nestle, Britannia, Upgrade, Syngene, etc. The highest salary package is 8 LPA and the lowest is 3 LPA. Almost everyone who had opted to do an internship got one. Top roles offered include analysts, sales, etc.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure with regard to classrooms and the library is really great. However, more improvement must be given to labs. The food in the hostel mess and canteens is also great. The hostel facilities are really great and almost everything is available on the campus itself. There is not much need to go out of campus to buy essential things.
Faculty: Professors are well qualified, and their teaching quality is outstanding. The curriculum is set as per industry standards. Semester exams and internal exams are relatively easy. The pass percentage is about 100%. Marks are also allotted for presentations and assignments.
Other: I chose FST out of my own interest and also due to the growing demand for food technologists. The lab infrastructure could be much better at GITAM. Events, fests, etc., are great here, and extracurricular activities are very much appreciated.

Satisfied with the teaching and extracurricular activities, but dissatisfied with the placements.
Placements: The placements are good for management and engineering branches. Various companies visited the college, and the average package offered goes up to 2.5-3 lacs per annum for engineers. Many students are placed in reputed companies like Microsoft and Google. But, the placements for the science branch are below average. Especially, no good company is visiting the college to recruit students.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is good. E-learning facilities are available. Wi-Fi facility is provided for students. Departmental libraries are available for the students for every individual branch. Books are limited but are sufficient according to the requirements. A common library is also available which provides a wide collection of books for all the branches. Many canteens are available and provide food at reasonable prices.
Faculty: The faculty are highly qualified and have good teaching skills. They use a blackboard to teach graduate students and presentations to teach postgraduate students. But, the number of teachers is limited according to the number of students present. No industry exposure is provided by the college, but students can approach individually.
Other: Regular fests are conducted in the college for different branches throughout the year. Many sponsors are approached. The college provides NCC training and other various sports facilities as well.
