The first thing would be the infrastructure of the college which makes the campus beautiful. Just by walking around we can feel the breeze, peace, clean areas, etc.
The classrooms which has 75 inches smart board, wifi, air conditioned as well the comfortable chairs and tables. It creates a wonderful environment to study comfortably.
The hostels feels as good as home with well painted rooms, bunk beds, wooden interiors, wardrobe and study table with study lights. It is built in such a way that there is a good airflow and lighting.

Placement Experience:

HIMT has always got its name for placements as they have a very good relationship with many companies. From second semester itself students become eligible for campus placements. I am in my 5th semester and as of now 4 companies have visited our campus for our batch. Namely MOLMI, MOLTA, SANMAR, BERGE BULK. There are 23 out of 80 cadets has been placed including me. Packages vary company wise from average 4LPA to highest 6LPA. HIMT maintains a placement percentage of above 80% every year.

girls to boys ratio is 1:1 is we consider all three branches with some courses with more male while other having for female.more or less the ratio is near 1:1
the most important thing for you is there is close to zero discrimination for you , whether you want to join any club or perform anything you are equivalent to students with others bachelor degree
octagon and library are the two things which are good as library is considered the biggest library among all nit's while octagon having 800 computers for students.NSO ground is also well maintained with the beautiful mig fighter jet to take cool phot

Dislikes

for first years hostel are well maintained if compared with others but don't expect much from hostel atlast this is a government college.in first year 3 to 4 person sharing room are there which was build to carry 2 person.
Quant and entrepreneur thing is not there as you might expect by seeing the nirf 9 ranking but it is not zero .they are growing clubs like profNITT and Sigma are young and they could do better
curfew timing for girls are 9 or 9:30 pm i guess be it any year. for boys ,only freshers have curfew with timing 9:30 pm.other than that any student can't step outside the college after 10 pm without the sign out form.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose this course as maths is the mother of all science and quite related to other fields so it opens a lot of door for me like mba ,mtech ,phd or any other things. this course is specifically designed for becoming teachers so keep that in mind before taking this course as they are not flexible in changing curriculum or adding something for the sake of students as of now. also you will be having more working days compared to other courses with 80 percent mandatory attendance.after first sem you will get 1 week holiday and after 2nd sem you will get 50.days holiday and after first year you can expect 20 days holiday for winters and 50 days holiday for summers. you will get a lot of time to study for exams. before ct 1 you can expect 2 months and then atleast a month for ct 2 and endsems. cons are that you don't have the right to choose minor or electives like btech students.you have to compulsory study all three science .i.e. maths , physics, chemistry.
