Galgotia College of Engineering and Technology, affiliated with Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU), offers multiple courses, including B.Tech, with a strong emphasis on placements, particularly in Computer Science and IT. The admission process requires clearing the AKTU entrance exam, followed by a counseling procedure. For diploma holders, direct admission into the second year is possible with a 75% minimum score. The faculty comprises a mix of highly qualified individuals, including some IITians, although there are concerns about subject assignments due to staff shortages.
The college maintains a good faculty-to-student ratio and employs innovative teaching methods, but some faculty lack industry experience. The fee structure is considered reasonable compared to other private colleges, with annual tuition fees ranging from INR 1,10,000 to INR 1,32,000, excluding hostel fees. Hostel fees are INR 1,00,000 for non-AC and INR 1,40,000 for AC rooms. Scholarships are available, especially for SC/ST students, with some receiving 100% tuition fee scholarships from the UP government.
Despite being slightly more expensive due to its NCR location, the college offers excellent facilities and a solid placement rate of 80-95% for CS and IT students. The highest salary packages range from 12-44 LPA, with average packages between 3-7 LPA. Top recruiters include Amazon, Google, TCS, Infosys, and Wipro. Placement opportunities begin in the 6th semester, and over 100 companies visit annually. Although core branches like Mechanical and Civil have fewer placement opportunities, internship opportunities start from the 3rd year, albeit often requiring independent efforts from students.
The college supports students in applying for government scholarships and provides assistance for economically disadvantaged students. Loan facilities are available from banks, though the college does not provide direct education loans.
