Admission to Himachal Pradesh Technical University (HPTU) is based on HPCET entrance test scores or JEE-Mains scores, with cutoffs slightly below those for NITs. Alternatively, students can enter based on their 10+2 marks for remaining seats. The college, established roughly four years ago, features a youthful faculty with MTech and PhD qualifications, ensuring a favorable faculty-to-student ratio, especially in core subjects. However, mathematics sees a high ratio of 1:360. The course fee is about INR 30,000 per semester for boys and INR 15,000 for girls.
A Tuition Fee Waiver (TFW) scheme is available for economically disadvantaged students. The placement rate is between 30-50%, with the highest package around INR 7 lakh and an average of INR 2.5 lakh. Notable recruiters include Bajaj and Panasonic. The college offers internships, and TEQIP-III provides stipends for out-of-district internships. Many students also prepare for government exams post-graduation. Scholarships are offered for financially disadvantaged students, with specific schemes for SC, ST, EWS, and girls, such as the Pragati scholarships.
Hostel charges range from INR 5,000 to INR 10,000 per semester, excluding mess fees. Jammu and Kashmir students receive fee waivers under the PMSSS scheme. Overall, HPTU's fees are lower than private institutions, with several scholarship opportunities available.
