Kshitij Prasad's Review on Guru Tegh Bahadur Institute of Technology

Unlike tier-1 colleges, companies don't come here to give you internships. So, if you are keen on doing internships, you'll have to work for them on your own. You can use portals like internshala, LinkedIn and intern theory. Students who have the potential and the skills do bag quality internships, like my friend did from Microsoft. The pay is handsome too, INR 45k a month. Companies coming on campus are good, like Samsung, HCL, Accenture, IBM etc. The average salary ranges from INR3-6 lakhs. Highest salary went upto INR12 lakhs last year. About 60-70% of the batch ends up getting placed, depending on the number of students who do sit in the placements. A fraction of students do decide to go for higher studies or opt for off campus placement. Alumni network does consist of a few famous names, like actress Tapsee Pannu of Bollywood fame

There is no hostel facility. Rooms can be rented in nearby locations, depending on your budget (3-10k) Food offered in canteen is cheap, items range from INR20-60 rupees. Classrooms are big and spacious. Libraries are well maintained. No dining hall and WiFi.

The course fee per year lands up to about rupees 85-90k. Since GTBIT is a DSGMC run college, it has quota for Sikh students. Scholarships are awarded to students coming from poor background in the form of fee relaxation, waiver, time extension etc. Loans aren't necessarily needed since the fee isn't that high, but all of the banks would easily lend you student loans. PNB has a branch dedicated especially to the college, handling all college related banking.

There are whole lot of societies, ranging from dance society, drama soc, English society, IEEE society, CSI society and many more. There's a technical fest that happens annually, comprising of multiple technical and cultural events followed by performances by various artists. College life in general is manageable if you can strike the right cord between work and fun
