Admission to the Heritage Institute of Technology is primarily through the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE), with additional opportunities for diploma holders via the JELET exam. The process includes three rounds of online counseling, a Rs. 20,000 deposit, and subsequent document verification at the college. Eligible candidates typically have a rank below 4000 in WBJEE and at least 45% in PCM in 10th and 12th grades, though higher ranks may be considered if seats are available.
The institute, being private, has higher fees compared to government colleges but remains affordable for middle-class families. The faculty-to-student ratio is favorable, and while the faculty is generally qualified, teaching effectiveness varies. The structured examination system consists of eight semesters over four years. Fees for the 2014-18 batch included an overall cost of Rs. 3 to Rs. 4 lakhs, with additional charges for admission, library, development, security, and examination fees. The B.Tech course fee has increased to approximately INR 6 to 7 lakhs currently, with yearly semester fees between INR 42,000 to INR 69,000.
Scholarships providing 50-100% fee waivers are available for financially disadvantaged students, and the Tuition Fee Waiver (TFW) scheme offers full tuition waivers for eligible students. The placement process starts in the fourth year, with companies like TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, and Infosys as primary recruiters, achieving a placement rate of 70% to 80%. IT, CSE, and ECE departments have the highest placement rates, while core branches like Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical have fewer opportunities.
Average salary packages range from 4 to 5 lakhs per annum, with the highest package up to 16 lakhs. The college does not provide paid internships but does facilitate summer training and internships. Strong alumni networks aid job referrals, and government scholarships and loans are accessible to students, with specific schemes for minority and economically weaker sections.
