How is Hindustan University??

Hey there! Just a heads-up about Hindustan University—it's not worth your time or money. The education quality is really lacking. Most of the teachers don't seem to know what they're doing. Some don't even show up to class, and others teach outside their field, which ends up being a problem for students. A few experienced teachers are there, but they usually only teach in the later semesters, and you might not even get them if they're assigned somewhere else. Many teachers are fresh graduates, which is not ideal when you're handling complex subjects like Fluid Mechanics.

The labs are a mess; equipment often doesn't work. They also charge strange fines at the end of the year for no clear reason. The hostel and food are pretty bad, even worse than usual. The first-year hostel looks okay, but the second-year one is super cramped. Facilities are either poorly maintained or non-existent.

Don't trust their website. They claim to offer activities like horse riding, tennis, and swimming, but these are either one-time events or completely unsupported. The so-called vigilance officers just harass students unnecessarily. Placement opportunities are scarce, with only a few IT companies visiting, and most students aren't eligible anyway.

The infrastructure is poor, with only a couple of decent buildings. You'll even find cows wandering around the campus. They boast about their Aeronautical/Aerospace department, but it lacks proper facilities and qualified teachers. Internships and co-op opportunities are either absent or poorly communicated.

If you're considering a B.E in Aerospace Engineering, think again. The program isn't NBA (AICTE) accredited, which can be a problem given the importance of accreditation with the Washington Accord. The college doesn't provide the environment needed for academic or professional growth.

They are also pricey and might ask for donations. It's better to look for a more affordable university with substance and integrity. Their marketing is misleading, so if you're doubtful, visit the campus and talk to students. If you decide to transfer, they'll demand the next year's tuition and a hefty fee to leave.

Hindustan University is not a great choice for higher education in India. I'm in my third year here, and honestly, I wouldn't recommend it unless your family can afford to waste money for four years and you don't care much about your future after graduation.

The teaching quality isn't impressive, with most teachers deserving a 4 out of 10. About 20% of the faculty are really good, with over 20 years of experience, but that's not enough. In certain departments like electronics, the labs are pretty bad, with less than 40% of the equipment actually working.

The university seems to focus more on increasing fees every year without really improving the educational experience. Many of the positive reviews you might see are from people who are just trying to please the management. Interestingly, a lot of these reviews date back to around February 22, 2016, which was when students first protested against the management. Things got worse on March 7, 2016, when the protests turned violent and damaged the university's reputation nationwide.

Also, Hindustan University has a reputation for shady financial practices. They collect fines and dues without giving any receipts. Last semester, students were charged 15,000 rupees as an attendance fine without receipts, collecting around 52 lakh in just one day from about 350 students. I suspect they don't pay taxes on this unrecorded money.

I've experienced this firsthand and don't want others to go through the same thing.

Hindustan University has been a pretty good experience for me, especially in the Bachelor of Commerce [B.Com] (Accounting and Finance) course. The faculty is highly qualified, and the teaching methods are solid. Exams are conducted monthly, which keeps us on our toes. The placement opportunities are decent too; students become eligible for placements from the 5th semester, and many companies visit the campus. I’ve heard that the highest package can go up to 7 LPA, which is quite impressive. Overall, I'm satisfied with my choice!

The Bachelor of Computer Applications [BCA] course at Hindustan University has been a great fit for me. The faculty is approachable and helpful, which makes understanding the curriculum easier. The course covers essential programming languages and prepares us well for the tech industry. From the second year, we get to attend placement classes, and companies like Wipro and Infosys frequently visit for campus recruitment. The average package is around 2.2 LPA, which is a good start for someone fresh out of college. Overall, I’m really enjoying my time here!

I finished my studies at Hindustan University in 2015 and landed a job at an MNC, but it wasn't thanks to the university. Out of my whole class, only four of us got hired, and that was mainly because we took extra classes at NIIT for Java and C programming. I'm not bitter, just sharing this so others can avoid the same mistakes.

I first heard about this university through a lot of talk from admission agents, and I got convinced to join their computer science engineering program. The campus looks big and impressive, which seems to be part of their strategy to attract students and their parents. They seem to spend more on the campus appearance than on the quality of education and lab facilities. The pictures on the college website and brochures are all professionally done. They even bring in a team to take photos for their promotional materials. Don't be fooled by these images. You might see a lot of international students in those pictures, but in reality, it's mostly students from Nigeria who are there, and they seem to be more focused on sports than studies.

There are many hidden fees that you only find out about after you're admitted. During my first week of classes, I learned about the examination fees. If you fail an internal exam, you can't sit for the semester exam for those subjects unless you pay a ?8000 fine per subject. So failing two subjects could cost you ?16000.

Attendance fines are another issue. If your attendance is below the required 75%, you have to pay ?1000 for each percent you're short. For example, if your attendance is 73%, you owe ?2000. If it's 69%, you pay ?12000. I’m not saying low attendance should be allowed, but it seems like money solves every problem here.

If you're late by even five minutes, the security guard takes down your roll number, and you get a ?200 fine. There’s no official dress code, but if you wear something like a round-neck t-shirt, you'll get fined. All these fines are collected before semester exams when they’ll ask for everything you've accumulated before giving you your admit card.

Everyone ends up with fines before exams. This place seems more like a money-making machine than a university. These were the rates when I was there from 2011-2015, and I've heard from younger students that the costs have almost doubled now.

Regarding the educational standards, about 98% of the teachers lack knowledge. The university hires its own M.Tech students to teach B.Tech classes because it's cheaper. Many teachers couldn’t find jobs elsewhere. They just read from the book in class and give out meaningless assignments. Most of them don't even know programming, so you can imagine how little students learn.

In my computer science class of 45 students, almost nobody knew programming until the third year. A few of us finally took a Java course at NIIT to learn something useful. The labs are outdated, and all we did was copy programs from printouts.

You're also forced to pay a lot for placement training. Companies don’t visit because they don’t find skilled students. No major company wants to hire just a handful of people from a large group. During my time, only Infosys and IGate showed up. Infosys hired about 50 students and IGate about 15 from all departments, but over 1500 students appeared. You can see how slim the chances are.

Students from all departments end up sitting for IT placements because companies from their own fields don't visit. Save your money and career. If you're serious about engineering, pick a good college, preferably a government one. Most private colleges don't have good faculty or placement services. Take care!
