Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science - [HITS], Chennai

I am a student of B.Tech CSE at Hindustan University, pursuing a specialization in IBM cloud computing and virtualization. 

The CSE department is quite good. All its professors are friendly and supportive. The university focuses a lot on extracurriculars, even more than the academics. A number of workshops and events are regularly organized on campus. 

If you abide by the rules and regulations, you won’t face any trouble from the authorities. You will be offered a nurturing environment and ample growth opportunities. 

Hindustan University is a good choice for a CSE, given that you participate in events and make use of all the opportunities. 

Overall, Hindustan University is average at best. 

• The quality of education offered is not good. Most faculty members are fresh graduates and don’t have much experience. 
• The institute doesn’t have a good infrastructure. Although the institute claims to offer a good Aeronautical or Aerospace program, they don’t have good facilities or faculties to back up the claim. Besides a subsonic wind tunnel and four broken-down plans, the department offers zero facilities. 
• Hindusthan University fees are pretty steep. The B.Tech Aeronautical Engineering program costs around INR 14.39 Lakhs. 
• The institute doesn’t offer any internships or co-op opportunities to students. The placement opportunities offered aren’t worth the high course fee. 

The college lacks basic amenities that are essential for the overall growth of the students. 

Hindustan University is an excellent platform for your growth and development. Apart from providing you with a degree, it will also ensure that you become a skilled engineer. 

• Faculty- The faculty is mostly supportive. They will encourage you to take up projects, and not be stuck with just textbook learning. There are mostly young teachers.

• Innovation Cell- There is an innovation cell at the University that encourages innovative ideas within the students. Since its inception, the college has witnessed around five new startups. Events are hosted regularly by this cell, and distinguished speakers are invited. They will help you grab internships, regardless of which year you belong to.

• Hostel- Hostel facilities are a bit lacking. The mess food takes some time to get used to.

• Extracurriculars- The university has five horses which take part in competitions regularly. Horse riding classes are held at 6 in the morning. Apart from hostel facilities, every other facility is good, and at par with what has been mentioned in the university website.

• Vigilance Officers- They are like the police officers of the university. If you abide by university rules, they won’t trouble you in any form. 

Hindustan University is mainly known for three branches- Mechanical, Aerospace and Aeronautical. The university is good and you can definitely consider it for your studies.

I don't know much about CBIT and Hindustan University. But I won’t recommend you the NCR campus of SRM.

It is in fact not located in the National Capital Region. It is situated in Modinagar (Sikrikalan to be precise).The management of this college is very poor. You’ll be wasting a lot of energy for simple requests like getting statements attested, acquiring a recommendation letter, getting fee refunds, etc.

I studied CSE over there. The faculty for CSE is considered to be the best. However, in reality, most teachers don’t even have an idea of their specialization. You’ll find that the same teacher is taking classes for various specializations like Data Structures, Mobile Computing, Theory of Computation, Compiler, etc. New ideas aren’t encouraged in the classroom. 

The hardware in CSE labs is top notch, but the software is all outdated. The hostels are decent but the mess food is disappointing. The hostel wardens do minimum to maintain discipline. For placements, you’ll have to travel all the way to Chennai, with no support from the management, and no accommodation facilities. 

Thus, do not choose the NCR campus of SRM University, especially for the CSE program.

Hindustan University is lenient in comparison to other institutions in Chennai. But there are some rules that you should follow as its student-

1. Always wear your identity card inside the campus. Otherwise, you’ll be caught by the vigilance officers. Without an id card, you won’t be entitled as a student of this university.
2. You can bring your vehicles inside the campus. However, be sure to wear a helmet.
3. This is quite obvious, do not use your phone while the teacher is taking a lecture. Also, don’t use your phone when standing near Java Green. Your phone will be taken by vigilance people, and it won’t be returned easily.
4. Return your library book within the allotted time. Otherwise, you’ll have to pay a fine.
5. A minimum of 75% attendance is required to appear in the semester exam. But even if you have around 50% attendance, you can appear in the exam after paying a fine.

Students usually don’t take the rules seriously. However, I would recommend you follow these basic rules to not get into any trouble.
