GL Bajaj Group of Institutions Mathura Campus Experience for B.Tech

I have completed my graduation from GL Bajaj Group of Institutions Mathura in UP where I pursued a B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering with Artificial Intelligence. Overall, the college experience was filled with ups and downs at various stages because of the pandemic(2020-24 batch). I did not get to attend college for a huge part of the curriculum(approx. 1 year) but after I spent days there were filled with new experiences and learnings at every step which was the bad and also the good. In my college journey at GL Bajaj Mathura, I saw that the college collaborated with GL Bajaj Noida campus in which if any company came then the Noida campus allowed us for specific companies.

The campus was divided into wings representing various disciplines and branches. It has solar-powered panels, modern classrooms, high-tech laboratories, an amphitheater with large seating, a sports wing, a huge library, a recreation room, a placement cell, and a campus canteen that serves scrumptious meals.

My first year at GL Bajaj Mathura Campus was an exhilarating blend of offline and online experiences that shaped my academic and personal growth in profound ways. From forging new friendships to delving into exciting academic pursuits, my journey was marked by discovery, support, and hands-on learning.

From day one, I found myself immersed in a welcoming community where seniors generously shared their wisdom and guidance, helping me navigate the intricacies of college life. This nurturing environment allowed me to seamlessly integrate into campus life and find my place within the vibrant tapestry of student activities.

Academically, the journey was equally enriching. As I delved into my chosen field of study, I discovered a passion for Web Development that propelled me to explore beyond the confines of my curriculum. Joining a college community club dedicated to this field provided me with a platform to not only expand my knowledge but also share my expertise with fellow enthusiasts.

The second classes were online due to the pandemic and third-year classes were offline which was difficult at first as it was new for students as well as the teachers. Slowly we adapted to the new changes and made online learning fun and enriching. We had our exams in both offline and online mode which helped the students from different states to easily take the exams.

Navigating my academic journey at GL Bajaj Mathura Campus proved to be a formidable challenge, marred by a glaring lack of essential facilities, inadequately trained faculty, and a discouraging environment for study and preparation for future placements. The absence of fundamental amenities, from well-equipped labs to comprehensive libraries, severely hindered my ability to engage meaningfully with my coursework and extracurricular pursuits.

During the final year, the classes returned to offline mode and we got another opportunity to meet our friends and go back to life before covid. It was the placement season and all the final-year students were worried. My time at GL Bajaj Mathura has been disappointing, with a lack of support from the administration and faculty. The authoritarian atmosphere, coupled with inadequate teaching and a dearth of placement guidance, has left many of us unplaced and frustrated. Despite self-study efforts, securing placements in today’s competitive job market remains a challenge. Urgent institutional reform is needed to ensure future students receive the support necessary for academic and professional success.

In essence, my experience at GL Bajaj Mathura Campus was characterized by a profound sense of disillusionment and frustration, as the institution failed to provide the foundational support and resources necessary for academic and professional success.

GL Bajaj’s college fests provide a moderate level of enjoyment, While friends enhance the experience. Offering occasional coding competitions but lacking hackathons, the limited number of events, with only three to five coding contests over four years, suggests room for more diverse and engaging activities to enrich student involvement.
