E-brary, comprehensive collection of more than 20,000 books, case studies and reports. This collection known as academic collection covering the following subjects:

   Business, Economics and Management
   Electronics, Computer Science and Networking
   Life and Physical Sciences including Bio-technology
   Humanities
   Social and Behavioral Sciences
   Education and career advancement like interview handling and presentation skills.

BITES is also providing an excellent collection focused on manufacturing and engineering (Society for Manufacturing Engineering – SME) which has hand books, titles on Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing, Industrial Production and Journals.

Benefits of BITES E-brary

With BITES one can have multiple access licenses that is, each student can access it independent of the other. Faculty, PG Students and research scholars can access the titles anywhere any time on a 24x7 basis, which means that an extended library with multiple copies.

Apart from this GIT is also a member of All India Council for Technical Education – IEEE E- Journal that is, IEL Online. This provides quality journals available to approved institution at affordable cost for the benefit of students and faculty. The access is available on an annual subscription basis. It provides access to more than 50,000 technical papers from the various journals, magazines and conference publications, covering a wide range of information in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Telecommunications, Computing, Power, Control, Radar, Circuits, Materials, Bio-Engineering, IT and much more fulfilling the journal requirements of almost 70% of the students and faculty.
