Why should I choose Galgotias University? How is it better than other universities?

I'm currently in my third year of B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering at Galgotias University. Let me share what I've learned and experienced here. I'll give you both the good and the not-so-good sides, and you can make your own decision.

Here’s why you might consider choosing Galgotias University:

• The tuition is quite reasonable when you compare it to other colleges in the NCR region.
• Most students end up with job placements, and the placement rate is better compared to other private colleges in the area.
• However, around 90% of the students get jobs in IT companies with starting salaries of about 3 LPA, often in BPOs.
• Only a few manage to secure positions with salaries ranging from 5 to 12 LPA.
• The curriculum is fairly up-to-date with industry standards.
• You’ll meet some students who are really passionate and good at what they do.

Now, here are some reasons you might think twice:

• The campus is located in a remote area, so commuting takes up a lot of time.
• The general student crowd isn’t very focused, with many unsure about their goals. In my CSE class of 1400, only about 50 students can actually code.
• In most classes, there are only 2 or 3 students who are genuinely interested in learning, which often leads to teachers losing interest in teaching effectively.
• Attendance seems to be the main reason for attending classes.
• Some teachers, especially in CSE, aren’t great at teaching, although there are a few exceptions.
• The deans change frequently; I've seen four different deans in just two years in my department.
• The lab facilities are quite poor.
• Teachers are frequently replaced; we had three different teachers in one semester.
• There’s a lot of internal politics, making administration quite inefficient.
• Getting any issue resolved can be a frustrating loop with no real solution.
• There’s a lack of coordination between departments, and things often run on makeshift solutions.
• Policies and rules change every semester or two.
• Certain groups, like the Gujjars, tend to disrupt events, whether it’s a fresher’s party or a promotional event.

So, that’s my take on Galgotias University. Weigh these points and see what fits best for you!

Honestly, there's not much to highlight except for a handful of decent faculty members. The management can be quite challenging to deal with. They claim to have centralized AC, but in reality, even the fans don't work in C block. Also, on three out of five floors in C block, there are no washrooms. Regarding fees, they require payment before the academic year kicks off, specifically in April. Is there anything else to consider?

When I was deciding on a university, I had the same question, but now that I'm in my second year of B.Tech in CSE, I feel I can help answer it. So, here's why Galgotias University stands out compared to others:

• The campus offers great job opportunities, with top companies like Wipro, TCS, Cognizant, Flipkart, Deloitte, and TCL frequently recruiting students.
• The curriculum is current and provides practical experience with the latest industry trends.
• You'll find supportive and knowledgeable faculty ready to assist with any questions or projects.
• The labs, equipped with HCL and Apple technology, are a big plus for learning.
• With a reasonable fee structure and excellent facilities, Galgotias University is a solid choice for a promising career.
