Career Point University Hamirpur B.Tech Mechanical Engineering: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

The reviewer chose a private university in Himachal Pradesh, close to home, allowing them to stay with family. Despite having options in Computer Science and Textile Engineering through JEE Main, they opted for Mechanical Engineering as a lateral entry after a diploma. This university, affiliated with a leading institution in the north zone, is highly regarded in Himachal Pradesh. The faculty is well-qualified, many with PhDs, and is dedicated to personalized and engaging teaching.

The BTech program fees are about 50,000 rupees per semester for general category students. The Himachal government offers tuition fee support for SC/ST students, making it affordable for reserved categories. Fees for other courses are under 35,000 rupees, making it cheaper than many other universities. The placement program is robust, with various companies recruiting, although mechanical engineering placements are fewer. Internships, especially in the final semester, are well-supported, like the six-month opportunity at SML ISUZU PVT LTD.

There are no loan or scholarship facilities for general category students at the college level, but Himachal government scholarships are available for SC/ST students. University-level scholarships and loans are available for below-poverty-line families and top-performing students.
