GITAM Institute of Technology & Management
GITAM (Gandhi Institute of Technology and Management) Hyderabad campus, established in 2009, is a satellite campus of GITAM Deemed University, whose main campus is in Visakhapatnam. GITAM's engineering programs are NIRF-ranked in the 151-200 band (2024) - a real rank, though it belongs to the parent university rather than being earned by the Hyderabad campus alone. Placement figures reported specifically for the Hyderabad campus put the average around ₹6-7 LPA, though the underlying sourcing is softer (student-reported ranges) than an official disclosure.
ℹ️At a glance
Rudraram is on the western ORR - farther from HITEC City than colleges like CBIT but connected via ORR. GITAM Vizag is the parent campus and older, larger main campus.

💺 Convener / rank quota (~70%)
Fill through official state web counselling on your entrance rank. Lower, state-regulated tuition. This is the merit route - no capitation.
💰 Management quota (~30%)
Apply directly to the college, usually once convener rounds finish (around Jul-Aug). Still needs a valid entrance rank at most colleges, but fees are markedly higher than the convener seat.
Seat splits and fees vary by college and year. Always confirm the current management-quota fee directly with the college before deciding.
