    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.

    Satisfied with the placements.
    Placements: The placements are totally awesome, as some multi-national and well-known companies prepare their students for their better future and give a nice salary as per their performance in their studies and extracurricular activities. I was surprised, as even companies were hiring students who had an average score but had good sports skills and were paid quite high. Some companies, such as Laurels labs, Dr. Reddy's labs, and some other pharma companies, also hired students with a pay scale of around 3–10 lakh.
    Infrastructure: The college campus area is huge, to say extreme. It's about 100 acres and has many blocks with all kinds of sports, huge grounds for cricket and tennis and an indoor stadium for games like basketball and table tennis. There are a few temples inside the campus, too. The hostels, I may say, are pretty great, as they are well maintained with quite strict security. And talking about the girls hostel, it's very secure. The rooms, which are shared between 3 and 4, are averagely priced at around 80–90k per year and a private room is around 1.5 lakh. There is no feasibility for paying guests.
    Faculty: The faculty of the college are the best at teaching and are even friendly. Some are strict with the rules and regulations. As I had joined a month late, I didn't find anything difficult, either in learning or understanding the lectures, as they were so informative and friendly in teaching the lectures again and again for those who were unable to understand and learn. Because of this, I could easily link up with the syllabus that was earlier taught.

    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.
