What is your review of Hindustan University??

Avoid this place. It's not worth your time or money. The university is called one, but it doesn't deserve the title.

The education quality is poor, and the teachers are not helpful at all. Many of them rarely show up for classes, and even if they do, they seem lost and unfamiliar with the syllabus. Some teachers say they are teaching subjects outside their expertise, which is a management issue, but students shouldn't have to deal with this. There are a few experienced teachers, but they usually teach in the later semesters, and who knows if you'll even get them. Most teachers are fresh graduates, around 23 years old, which isn't necessarily bad, but for complex subjects like Fluid Mechanics or Manufacturing Technology, more experience is better.

The labs and their instructors are practically useless, with most equipment not working due to technical issues. They impose unnecessary fines at the end of the year, calling them "general" fines, for reasons only they know.

The hostel and food are terrible, even worse than most places. They show off one decent hostel to parents, but by the second year, students are crammed into tiny, uncomfortable rooms that barely fit two people.

Facilities are either poorly maintained or non-existent. Don't trust the website at all. They have events like horse riding for a day, but no real sports coaches or swimming pools, despite what they claim.

The security staff are unhelpful and instead harass students, issuing fines for no good reason. The placement scene is grim, with most students not even eligible, leading to fewer companies visiting each year. In 2013, only 20 out of 200 mechanical students were eligible for placements, and now students from all departments end up in IT companies.

The infrastructure is lacking, with only the library and Mechanical block being somewhat decent. My classroom was basically a storeroom. Cows roam the campus, creating a mess, which is quite distracting.

They boast about their Aeronautical/Aerospace department, but lack the facilities and qualified teachers to support such claims. They have a wind tunnel and some old planes, but students can't even work with them. Even though the Aero department is better compared to others, it's still not great.

There's no clear information about internships or Co-op opportunities, and the Aerospace Engineering program isn't even NBA accredited, which is crucial considering the Washington Accord. If you're thinking about Aerospace Engineering here, reconsider and find a program with proper accreditation.

The university doesn't provide the basic support needed for student growth, either academically or professionally. So, if you join, what can you do? Just face the consequences? Plus, they are expensive and demand donations, so look for a cheaper university that has some integrity.

They might lure you with flashy advertisements and a revamped website with false claims, but it's all misleading. If you doubt this review, visit the campus yourself and talk to some students. The worst part is, if you decide to leave after realizing how bad it is, they'll make you pay next year's tuition and an extra Rs. 25,000 for miscellaneous reasons.

Hindustan University has been a great place for my Bachelor of Commerce [B.Com] (Accounting and Finance) course. The faculty is highly qualified, and the teaching methods are quite effective. The exam frequency is good, with tests conducted every month, which helps keep us on our toes. The placement opportunities are quite promising as well, with companies like Wipro and Infosys visiting our campus. The highest package offered was around 7 LPA, which is not bad at all. Overall, the campus life is vibrant with various cultural fests and celebrations throughout the year. I really enjoy being here.

I chose Hindustan University for my Bachelor of Commerce [B.Com] (Accounting and Finance) degree, and I have to say, the faculty are really supportive and knowledgeable. They keep the classes engaging, and the exams are manageable.

From the 5th semester onwards, we are eligible for placements, and many companies come for recruitment. I was particularly impressed with the annual cultural fest, which brings everyone together.

The only downside is that the scholarship options are limited, but overall, I find the college to be a good fit for my studies.

Getting my degree from Gauhati University was honestly the worst part of my life, and here's why. First off, the grading system is unfair. Even if you put in a lot of effort and do well on your exams, don't expect your marks to reflect that. They often decide your grades based on your past semester's performance instead of your current efforts. Hard work and good exam scores don't really matter here; they do whatever they feel like.

Then there's the stress of result day. It's not just about seeing your grades; you might have to wait another day or more because their website crashes right when results are announced. It's super frustrating.

The university's lack of organization and care has made life tough for students, putting them in a really depressing situation. In my opinion, this is the most negligent and irresponsible university I've ever experienced, and it just ruins students' lives. Honestly, you'd be better off at a private or another university. Being here only brings disappointment.

I finished my studies at Hindustan University in 2015 and managed to get a job at an MNC, but it wasn't because of the university. Out of my entire class, only four of us got jobs, and that was thanks to the extra classes we took at NIIT for Java and C programming. I'm not frustrated; I just want to warn others so they don't face the same issues.

I first heard about this university from people, especially admission brokers, who convinced me to join for computer science engineering. The campus is large and looks impressive. They've invested a lot in making it appealing to attract students and their parents. However, they focus more on the campus's appearance than on the quality of education and labs. The pictures of students and the campus on their website and brochures are professionally done. They hire a team to take these photos and videos to make everything look perfect. Don’t be fooled by these images. They show international students, but in reality, it's mostly Nigerian students who are given easy degrees, and very few students from other countries are there.

There are many hidden rules they don’t tell you about when you join. When I started attending classes, I quickly found out about the examination fees. If you fail an internal exam, you can't take the semester exam for that subject unless you pay an extra ?8000 per subject. So failing two subjects means ?16000 in fines.

Attendance is another issue. You need a minimum of 75% attendance. If your attendance is below that, you pay ?1000 for each percent you're short. For example, if you have 73% attendance, you pay ?2000. If it's 69%, you pay ?12000. I'm not saying low attendance should be ignored, but here, money seems to fix everything.

If you're late by five minutes, the security guard notes your roll number, and you're fined ?200. Even though there's no official dress code, wearing something like a round-neck T-shirt can get you fined as well. They don't ask for fines immediately but collect them before semester exams to give you the admit card. Almost everyone has some fine to pay before exams.

The university is more like a money-making machine. These fees were applicable when I graduated between 2011 and 2015, and I've heard from juniors that the fines have nearly doubled.

Now about the education quality. About 98% of the teachers and professors lack knowledge. The university hires its own M.Tech students to teach B.Tech courses at low salaries. Many teachers couldn't find jobs elsewhere. They just read from the textbooks like stories and assign pointless assignments. Most don’t have practical experience, especially in programming. In my department, few teachers knew how to code, so you can imagine what students learn.

In my computer science class of about 45, hardly anyone knew programming until the third year. A few of us realized this and joined NIIT for a Java course to learn something valuable. The labs are outdated. You get a printout of programs to type out, and that's what they call programming.

They also make you pay a lot for placement training. Companies rarely visit because they don’t find skilled students. No big company wants to hire just a few students from a college. During my time, only Infosys and IGate visited. Infosys hired about 50 students in total, and IGate took around 15, despite over 1500 students appearing. You can guess the job chances from this.

Students from all departments, like Aeronautical, Mechanical, Civil, and Electrical, end up applying for IT jobs because their core companies don’t visit for placements. So, don't waste your money and career here. If you're serious about engineering, aim for a good college, preferably a government one. Most private colleges lack quality faculty and a good placement cell. Thanks!
