Hbtu Kanpur is your well known for his 100 + years of legacy, it is well known college in Uttar Pradesh and as compared to other state government college it is one of the best colleges in India.

I had applied to NITs where I was offered a seat, but I received a lower branch at the top NIT and a top branch at a lower NIT due to my low rank in the JEE. Therefore, I chose HBTU, Kanpur, as it has a better alumni network compared to the lower NITs. I didn't get into IIT because I couldn't qualify for the subject-wise cutoff in chemistry. Admission to HBTU can be obtained through the JEE score card; applicants must apply via the HBTU website, as HBTU does not participate in JOSAA counseling.
