Entrance Preview

The admission to the institute is through WBJEE exam. I appeared in WBJEE 2009 and secured rank of 1066. This institute is one of the most reputed engineering institute in Eastern India.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The course is structured as per technical guidelines. The course consists of 50 subjects spread over 4 years in form of 8 semesters. The electives are selected in the final year on the basis of availability of vacancy per course and choice and rank of the candidate.

Internships Opportunities

Internships depend upon industrial links and number of vacancies available and the rank of students.

Placement Experience

3

Placements depend upon industrial links, number of recruiters visiting and number of vacancies available and the rank of students. Despite the adverse market scenario around 60-70% students get placed in core companies and remaining in IT sector. Average package is around 4 lacs ctc.

College Events

3

A lot of fests and competitions were organised in college. These included the Tech fest- Instruo, the cultural fest spanning 4 days called Rebeca, the Quiz fest Gyandhara organised by the quiz club of the college. Then cultural programmes were held on Rabindra jayanti, Independence day, Republic day, Saraswati puja,etc and the various departmental freshers and farewells.

Fees and Financial Aid

Several scholarships are available on merit cum means basis for the students. Several are also provided from the Alumni fund.

Exam Structure

Exams are spread uniformly with weightage on mid semester, attendance, assignments and end semester exam. Being a residential college classes were conducted between 8-11. 40 am and 1.20- 5 pm with evenings devoted to extra curricular activities. Labs were also spread uniformly with 4 labs per week.

Admission

The admission to the institute is through WBJEE exam. I appeared in WBJEE 2009 and secured rank of 1066. Then as most Engineering colleges, admission is on the basis of Rank of the candidate, choice of stream and availability of seats. I selected Civil engineering as the college is famous for this stream being the 2nd oldest engineering college in India.

Faculty

4

Being an institute of national importance,the faculty is extremely qualified with most of them holding a Phd degree and committed towards quality research output. Most of the faculty are attached to some renowned technical publication. Also the labs are excellent with most advanced equipments.

Placement Experience:

I’d rate HIT’s placement opportunities as 7.5/10 overall. It’s very good for CSE, IT, and ECE, decent for Electrical and core branches, and improving every year with more companies visiting and better preparation programs. If you’re skilled and consistent — especially in coding, communication, and aptitude — you’ll almost certainly get placed before graduatin
