Remarks

You must be 12th passed with an aggregate of 75%. Admission is done through JEE Mains rank. The application form can be found on the university website. The admission process is smooth but can be improved when on spot registration of students is done.

Course Curriculum Overview

I am a BTech Information technology undergraduate. Faculty is qualified but in the end, it's you whose hard work will decide his future. most of the assistant professors are pursuing PhD from the university. There is a mid semester and an end semester examination which are not much difficult to pass. studying sincerely 15 days before the exam is sufficient to get average marks.

Class Size: 41Course Fees: INR 135000 per year

Placement Experience

Students are eligible for placement from their 7th semester for the BTech course. Most of the students get placed. there are various companies that offer jobs. The highest package for this session as of now is 30 LPA while the average is nearly 7lpa. Companies like Paytm, Samsung and many more actively recruit students from the campus.

Fees and Financial Aid

The tuition fees are approximately 150000/yr which varies according to the year of admission. Fees increases every year. Financial assistance is provided to ews students.They are eligible to take benefits of various scholarship provided by the state and central governments.

Campus Life

4.5

Annual fest is adhyaay which is held mostly in the month of november. HBTU also has a sports fest named agaaz which is held in the month of february. The library has quite a few books for course but no. of books are less. There is a concept library near the campus where you can find most of the books at very cheap price. Classrooms are equipped with smart boards and are comfortable enough for the classes. There are many cultural , tech and sports club in college and they provide various opportunities for the students.

What I See at SRM Ghaziabad

Likes

I really appreciated the college clubs and hackathons.
There are variety of events throughout the semester, something to always keep you on your feet.
Some of the faculties are really really experienced and have a unique approach that captures the attention of all the students.

Dislikes

Not many hotspots around campus to hang out after classes.
The infrastructure of the hostel can be improved a lot.
Food in mess is not great, the menu is not very diverse. Everything has aloo.

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.

Likes

I liked the faculties of my college they are very supportive and helpful towards the students.
I like the curriculum which more learning based then theory
I like the support that is provided by the college towards the placements of the students

Dislikes

I don't like the attendence system of our college it very hectic to students
There is lot of focus on exam in my college which I don't like
Syllabus are not updated in our college we are studying very old things

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.

Engineering: Dream and Reality

# My HBTU Engineering Admission Story Joining HBTU was not first choice but compromise choice. Initially tried for IIT Kanpur, but low JEE rank block my entry. IIIT Allahabad entrance exam also not go well - scored less in mathematics section. My dream was top engineering college but reality hit different. ## Comparison Parameters - Fees: HBTU cheaper than private engineering colleges - Placement: Around 70-80% placement rate - Infrastructure: Better than local private colleges, not match IIT standard - Faculty: Mix of experienced and young teachers - Location: Kanpur industrial area good for internship opportunities ## Admission Process Drama - Through UPTU/AKTU counseling - Required documents: - JEE/UPTU rank card - Class 12th marksheet - Domicile certificate - Character certificate - Counseling process online and offline - Seat allocation based on rank and preference - Total admission time: Around 15-20 days - Registration fee: ?5000-?10000 ## Why Selected HBTU - Government college tag - Decent reputation in local engineering circle - Affordable education - Close to home - Civil engineering branch available Not perfect college, but practical solution when dream colleges reject. Learning to make best of what available!...Read More

Eligibility of course decided on behalf of your jee mains score and category. After the exam of jee mains the HBTU counseling portal is opened for students where they can apply and fill their desired branches and on basis of your result college faculty alloys you the branch. And you can also apply in spot counseling. The application fees is based on your category. Reservation students can get good course like IT and computer science and engineering at 90 percentile.
