Remarks

College is average some of the Management members are good and very helpful and some play politics. but in whole they are supportive.

Entrance Preview

I wanted to study in my hometown only HCST was the top engineering college there so I Chose the college.

Course Curriculum Overview

3

As it is affiliated to UPTU,the curriculum was more theory oriented as compared to practical approach. Also most of the course content is outdated, which is not good to cope up with the technological advancement in the market.

Internships Opportunities

No the college does not provide any internship but in summers there is a paid in house training which is organised by the college every year for students of 2nd and 3rd year.

Placement Experience

4.5

Placements & job opportunities are same as other Tier-3 colleges. Training and placement department really works good to pull the companies for campus placement.only students have to show some efforts, then they can easily be placed.Also the Training and Development Department works hard to make students employable.

College Events

3.5

Some of the Events celebrated in college are good like Technical fest,and Annual Techno Cultural Fest. Everyone works well in collaborative manner and everyone celebrates with full enthusiasm several colleges also participate in it,celebrities also come sometimes.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee structure is not good. Fee is very high as compared to the education imparted to the students. Fee should be less as the infrastructure as well as the quality of education does not match with the fee structure. Management should look into this as it can be helpful for economically backward students.

Fees and Financial Aid

There is no such scholarship available there may be any scholarship for the students who score more than 90% in board exams, apart from this there is no such scholarship.

Campus Life

2

Campus life is average. At the end of the day students make the college life not the college itself. Most of the students are indiscipline and they destroy the ambience of the college. sports facilities are not good. only basketball is focused no other game is given much importance.

Hostel Facilities

1.5

Hostel food is not at all good also the hostel rooms. the hostel is constructed in a very congested way. There is no proper ventilation at the floors, and the facilities are also not good, that's why most of the students leave the hostel after first year.

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni network is good every year alumni meet is organised to improve the alumni network. Alumni can connect with the other students.

Exam Structure

Exam structure is good,and is not hectic at all labs are very poor and curriculum is not at all lab oriented the practical knowledge gained from labs are not more than 10% College needs to focus on this area if they want to increase the placement count.

Faculty

2.5

Some of the faculties are good some of the faculties are average apart from this there is too much of politics within the teachers and departments. Some want to overpower the others. As far as teaching is concerned some really taught well, but for internal marks they don't do any relaxation, even in final semester.

Placement Experience:

Placements are actually impressive with our college having the highest placement rate among others in the region. We usually achieve ~90% placement. We get opportunities from many large groups, such as Infosys, TCS, JPMC, BNY, Logitech, etc etc The list goes on. The highest package that I saw was of around 1Cr from a company I don't remember their name, but it was based out of SF and was a really great one. Average placement we see is around 12-20LPA packages.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I opted for this course because I want to be a software engineer. I chose my course because it was well-informed, and my interest was also in this field from the start. The faculty members and platform were also quite good for nurturing personal skills and making one a skilled and disciplined person in life. I wish this course would focus more on practical things rather than being theoretical. Events, fests, and the campus environment are also very good and pleasing to the eye. Connectivity was also easy from all around the world due to its location. Scholarships were also awarded to almost every student.
