Remarks

College Management system is very good as there is student senate which takes care of every decision whether it is in the favour of the betterment of students or not. All the activities are performed under the supervision of professor in charge of the following activities. Management is very strict in following the rules and regulations.

Entrance Preview

JEE (Mains) is the examination for getting admitted here. I gave JEE main in which I scored 133 marks . I choose this college because it is the second Oldest Engineering college in India. For me it was also not too far from my place. I am comfortable in local language of this place also. The college legacy adds many things to it. College NIRF ranking reflects a lot more about the Institute which is well placed over many IITs. Admission is done through Counseling which is jointly conducted for IITs NITs IIITs IIEST and other GIFTs.

Course Curriculum Overview

4

Course structure is very fine which offers students time for their own way of studying. Since the college used to offer dual degree earlier which is changed from this year so course structure was designed which suits the research studies. There are research laboratory in each department. Faculties help the students to pursue Research Programme and help students get to foreign for PhD. The number of students pursuing M.tech from this college is quite High. Even college provides different research program here itself.

Internships Opportunities

Yes, College help students get internships as last year students get internships in Google. This year many have been shortlisted by Goldmann. Students get internships at different places like They get internships at IITs and many different companies. Mining Engineering has maximum number of internships and placements from this college.

Placement Experience

3.5

Placement scenario of this Institute is improving day by day as earlier college used to provide dual degree so it was a bit less and college was Regional college which turned into Institute of National Importance in 2014 so From this year onwards placement scenario will change as per now many have been placed. Last year 6 students get placed in Microsoft. So college is doing well. Hope it will be best in coming years. Average package is around 5 -7 lac. Mining Engineering of college has maximum placement offers in the college. Many for multiple offers. They are bagging highest packages , it is almost equal to ISM Dhanbad. College has also signed MOUs with Australia where Mining department will again get chances. So In the upcoming years college is going to have its best placement.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Hostels are not new in case of boys. They are old so in the first and​ second year Each room is allotted to four students which appears a little weird. There are TVs , Projector in the Hostels. Canteen is also there for tea and a little bit of snacks because snacks are not offered by mess in the evening. There is Table Tennis and carrom facilities in the hostel. Hostels have WiFi which allows you to download things at very faster rate. Mess Routine is made by students itself. So students are involved in the mess. It is good for Non vegetarian but not that good for vegetarians. Fees depend on How much has been spent in that month. Hostel Fees is very less so no need to worry about that. There is accommodation for everyone but student may choose to remain outside the campus.

Alumni/Alumna

As the college is second Oldest Engineering college in India. It is quite obvious that it has largest alumni base. There are alumni of the Institute in different disciplines and sectors. Director of IIT Guwahati is the alumni of this Institute. There are many professor in this Institute itself who are the alumni. Senior are helpful, They help if someone interacts.

Exam Structure

Apart from mid sem and end sem Examination there is class test which is taken in the class which will be known to you earlier. As of all Engineering colleges here also you will have to submit assignment Lab report on time to get marks. One should not miss lab classes they are very important. Overall 4 labs including Engineering Drawings ( for some department) makes it a little bit hectic a night before submission date. Overall it is okay.

Admission

Admission process starts in the mid June after the Result of JEE advanced are out. Admission is completely basad on your rank, category you belong and state of eligibility. State of Eligibility is required because 50% of the seats are reserved for Bengal. Counselling is the process of getting admitted to any such type of college so filling of the choices and branch is a very important task.

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
