The civil engineering branch or any core branches like mechanical or electrical are good at Heritage Institute of Technology. Some professors are really good and helpful while others are not. Some will teach you by their experience while some will teach you by the core concepts.

It’s the students who make the difference between a good and average college. Unfortunately, Heritage Institute of Technology lags behind in this manner. The placements are not good in core branches and in core companies due to this only. Most of the companies that visit the campus are IT sector companies who take people from any branch in a big lot. TCS is a regular recruiter here and they take more than 500 students in one year itself from this campus alone.

Core companies do visit the campus although in small numbers. But to crack their interviews you need to have a good understanding of your core concepts in your branch which unfortunately not all the students are capable of and thus the recruitment in core branches in core companies is low. However, you will get a job after doing civil engineering from this institute, even though it is just an IT job.

Choosing streams like Industrial Chemistry can be tricky. Generally, students don’t even understand the scope of the basic courses, let alone a specialized course like chemistry. Don’t go for such a course if you are not well-informed about the career prospect.

If you are interested in civil engineering then don't waste time and apply to the new IITs. It is difficult to decide whether you are interested in a particular field. To find out you can get in contact with Civil Engineering graduates from good universities. Ask about their nature of work and growth in the field, etc. See if that sparks your interest. Also, you will have the option to go for GATE and appear in IES.

Both the colleges accept a creamy layer of students with respective state exams and top-notch performers in their respective States. Both colleges have failed in doing so in recent years. The identity crisis could be partly blamed, but even academically it has failed in overriding top NIT and other colleges.

A few of my friends graduated from NITIE and having read online reviews, here is some information I gathered, which might be useful for you. 

• Yes, students from NITIE are placed in other countries. It all depends upon the hiring company with their preferences of location. 
• However, there are middle east and African countries as locations during international placements.
• Most of the companies recruit you to handle their operations in India. However, some FMCG & Consulting companies deploy you outside India based on the project you handle or if your role requires international exposure. 
• The timeline would be short for such cases.

In the previous year’s placement, 8 International offers were rolled out. International placements were offered by companies like Olam International and Dubai Telecom. Olam International made the highest international placement offer at USD 150,000 per annum. Having said that, Landmark group is a company that hires students for its operations in Dubai.

Firstly, you may know that IIITM Gwalior is the first IIIT to be established by the Government of India by Congress Minister Mr. Scindia and was inaugurated by the MHRD minister Mr. Murli Manohar Joshi. It has nearly 100% faculty members who hold a Ph.D. degree. You may not know even these -

• The former IIITM chairman Dr. MN Buch was awarded Padma Bhushan.
• IIITM G has been constantly rated A+++ and has ranked in the Top 25 among different surveys conducted by the government of India and other private magazines.
• If you plan to study there, you'd get a hostel room to yourself because at IIIT M, every student gets a hostel room for him/herself.
• You can bring anything to the hostel room- be it a washing machine, heater, bikes, AC, etc. Cars however are not allowed.

The scholarship provision is a bit upsetting because it is made available to students from Andhra Pradesh. The website describes scholarships with much finesse and claims to help those in need of the same, however in reality it is not accomplished and those who need it are the ones who are not able to receive it.

The date of arrival of forms, the date of submission, and the procedure of scholarship accessibility are unclear. The merit-cum-means scholarship is awarded to 10 of the first-year students, who are below a certain financial average and have a good JEE Main rank. Some students who have been worthy have suffered because of the mismanagement. All else is good at the institute.
