HBTU Faculty

The faculty at HBTU is highly qualified, with most holding PhDs, and many having degrees from prestigious institutions like IITs and NITs. Particularly in departments like Chemical Engineering, Electronics, and Plastic Technology, the professors are experienced and knowledgeable, often involved in research and technical writing. There is a good faculty-to-student ratio, often cited as 1:50 or 1:80, allowing for approachable and supportive interactions. However, some issues are noted with guest faculty who may not meet the same standards.

The faculty employs a traditional teaching approach, with some criticism regarding a lack of innovation. Exams are structured with two mid-semester exams worth 15 marks each and end-semester exams worth 50 marks, with additional internal assessments making up 100 marks per subject. There is a focus on practical application and research, bolstered by guest lectures and industry-relevant insights.
