Just a moment
Almost there, hang tight
Working on it
This won't take long
Making sure everything's in order
Putting it all together
Good things take a sec
Processing your request
One sec, making it worth the wait
Thanks for hanging in there
GITAM School of Science is an integral constituent institution of GITAM Deemed to be University, operating across its main campus in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India, along with off-campus centers in Hyderabad, Telangana, and Bengaluru, Karnataka. Established in 1990 under the parent organization Gandhi Institute of Technology and Management (GITAM), the school provides higher education and research programs in fundamental and applied sciences. As a part of GITAM Deemed to be University, the institution is accredited with an 'A+' grade by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) and is recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC) under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956.
The institution offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral degree programs across a wide range of scientific disciplines. Key academic departments include Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Environmental Science, Food Science and Technology, and Data Science. The curriculum is structured around the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), allowing students to select elective courses alongside core scientific subjects. At the undergraduate level, the school awards Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degrees in both traditional three-year formats and four-year honors formats aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) framework. Master of Science (M.Sc.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programs are available for advanced study and specialized research.
Academic instruction at the GITAM School of Science emphasizes theoretical instruction, practical laboratory training, and interdisciplinary research. The faculty consists of academic professionals involved in teaching and UGC, DST, and DBT-funded research projects. Key research areas within the school include nanotechnology, material science, natural product chemistry, environmental monitoring, computational mathematics, structural biology, and industrial microbiology. The school regularly organizes national and international seminars, workshops, and guest lectures to facilitate knowledge exchange between students, academics, and industry professionals.
The campus facilities provided for science students include specialized research and teaching laboratories equipped with analytical instrumentation such as UV-Vis spectrophotometers, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) units, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers, and PCR machines. The central library and department-level resource centers offer access to print books, peer-reviewed journals, and digital databases including IEEE, Springer, and ScienceDirect. Computer facilities feature high-speed internet connectivity, software packages for data analysis and mathematical modeling, and dedicated computing labs for students enrolled in data science and computational programs.
Student infrastructure across the Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru campuses includes separate residential hostels for male and female students, dining halls, sports facilities, medical centers, and transport services. The institution maintains a dedicated training and placement cell that collaborates with industry partners in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, chemical manufacturing, IT, and environmental consulting to facilitate internships and campus recruitment for graduating students. Additionally, the university provides incubation facilities and support for students interested in scientific entrepreneurship and start-up development.
Admissions to the undergraduate and postgraduate programs at GITAM School of Science are conducted through the university's central entrance examination, the GITAM Admission Test (GAT), as well as merit-based evaluation of qualifying academic examinations. Financial assistance and merit-based scholarships are available to eligible candidates based on performance in national-level entrance tests and university examinations. The institution continues to operate as a center for scientific learning within the southern region of India, maintaining standard academic protocols and regulatory compliance under the purview of GITAM Deemed to be University.
