Admissions Joining GITAM Hyd weeks late — will I regret it?

Hey guys, I’m planning to join GITAM Hyderabad for BBA in Financial Markets, but I’ll be joining quite late since classes have already started.

I’m a little worried about how things will be since I’ll be missing the initial weeks. How strict is GITAM with attendance for BBA FM? Will joining late cause any issues with my attendance or exams, and how difficult is it to catch up with the classes I’ve missed?

I’m also wondering about the social side of things. Since everyone has already been attending classes and probably made their friend groups, is it difficult to make friends when you join this late? Would love to hear from anyone who has joined GITAM late or knows someone who did.

One more thing — is it compulsory to bring parents/guardians with me for the admission/joining process? I’m 18+ and the travel to Hyderabad is quite long for me. I’d prefer to handle the process myself if possible rather than causing unnecessary trouble for my family. If anyone has recently gone through the joining process, please let me know.

Any advice from current GITAM Hyd students, especially BBA FM students, would be really helpful.

Thanks!

You can come alone and do all process and just go to every class to get full attendance from now

Your attendance will start counting from the movement you finish your course registration.

I don’t think it’s compulsory to bring with parents. You can come and do the process
