Remarks

Because 1. It was near my house 2. With my rank this was the best college in Kolkata3. Fees was affordable for my parents4. College nice campus 5. Sports and other club are very active6. I know this is not a reason after admission I discovered that Heritage College is amazing in terms of taste hygiene and everything is perfect 7. College is located at a prime location very easy transport and connectivity

Course Curriculum Overview

Our College is Autonomous So course syllabus is always updated.Industrial Exposure for my stream (Civil Engg) is not very good and also due to current covid-19 we are missing the most important exposure. Civil Faculties surely has some amazing professors 1. Seema Ma'am (Fluid Mechancis ) she is one my favourite teacher I can challenge you just can't skip her class.The way she teaches there no way that you are going to have a doubt in a single topic, she is very interactive with class that really helps.Also, she an ex-IITian and she has completed her masters in Germany.2. Dev Sir he is really really amazing teacher and best in his field which is economies. After, very class we used to discuss about stock market.Also, he is also very good investor.During this classes I understood that economies is very important subject and it has is the most practical subject.He also EX-IITian and completed this MBA from IIM-C

Class Size: 70Course Fees: INR 420000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Yes I have opted for internship in Company - L&T Stipend - Nil it wasn't a long internship but experience was quite amazing working on field is really different from learning in class and doing practicals in labs field is totally different it's totally new you will have to start from scratch.

Placement Experience

Placement process starts in first semester of 4th year.Companies like Wipro TCS Cognizant Infosys are the main recruiters.There are also sector-specific placements from companies like Godrej and L&T but they take very few students.Heritage alumini network is very strong there are many names for example recently in vaccine preparation of coronavirus there was a girl from Oxford university she completed her BTech from heritage from biotech department.Heritage biotech and Cs department is best.My batchmate did a startup on bricks and got funding from tamilnadu government of 70 lakhs.

College Events

4.5

Heritage institute of technology has its own cultural festival festival known as HERITAGE UTSAV which take place in month of march or April. HERITAGE UTSAV is one of the biggest fest of Kolkata Bollywood celebrities are invited in fest. In 2016 Farhan akhtar perform in our fest.In 2019 Monali thakur who was invited. And student of every college are invited to participate.3000 to 5000 people attend this fest. Big brand also sponsored this fest like oneplus oppo etc And technical festival known as Daksh which take place in month of February.Many unique competition take place during this fest colleges from all over Kolkata are invited to participate.

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes there are many scholarship provided to students with good marks.Loans are also easily available from various banks.Various scholarships are provided from college and from state government which can be availed at college.For instance, there is a minority scholarship from state government to Muslims which have a certain income one of my friend has avail the scholarship for past three years.

Campus Life

Heritage Institute of Technology has the best college campus in Kolkata without a doubt.1. Basketball Court 2. Football Ground3. Tennis Court 4. Running Track 5. Volleyball Court6. ArchingYou get basket ball or any sports items by submitting your college ID after 3.30 PMWIFI :- Whole college is equipped with JIO wifi can be use by OTP verification Library :- We have 20,000 sq feet library with AC you can seat in library from 9 AM to 4 PM

Hostel Facilities

NO I haven't opted for it.Girls hostel girls hostel is located in the college campus. And no boys are allowed in girl's hostel building and there is also restriction on timing of hostel. Fees around 12k to 15k per month approximately with food included.Boys hostel is situated away from the college campus it is within 1 kilometre distance. Food is included. Fees is around 10k to 12k which includes food.Hostel rooms are generally share between two person. Girls hostel are way better than boys hostel. You can easily get PG around the college most of students take PG it's better and cheap.

The hostel and faculty infrastructure is very old need replacement asap.
Rural location of colleges so urban access of blinkit,zomato etc is unavailable.
Placement numbers here is too short university need to work on that.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Honestly, I was preparing for neet but after neet i was very clear that i want to do this(Agriculture). Practical cum theory approach here will make you a awared man in this field. Placements and Governments seats after UG is very competitive although. In upcoming future everyone will going to focus on larger production in limited land/cultivation area so Agriculture will be needed today and tomorrow.

My Experience at Jaipuria to summed it up.

Likes

Quality education and an academically enriching environment. Most importantly, well- versed professors.
Extra- curriculum activities, along with an active sports cell and NCC, and usually various opportunities to participate in Inter-College Competitions.
Well maintained gym with separate timings for girls and boys. The canteen offers a wide variety of foods at an affordable price.

Dislikes

For my department, there was no educational excursion.
Negligence internship opportunities are available for my course.
Only some placement opportunities are available, and companies like TCS and Wipro came up for campus placement.

Course Curriculum Overview:

My passion and a bit of curiosity in International Relations led me to choose this course. The curriculum, in fact, prepared me well for further academic pursuits. For improvement, educational excursions and internship opportunities should be made available. The exam is held twice a year on semester basis, with papers set at a moderate to difficult level.

Good enough

Likes

The faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive. Most teachers explain concepts clearly and are approachable after class for doubts and guidance, which helps a lot during exams.
The college has a disciplined academic environment with regular classes and practical sessions. Laboratories are functional and help students understand concepts through hands-on learning.
The campus environment is calm and student-friendly. Various seminars, cultural programs, and academic activities help in overall personality development.

Dislikes

Industry exposure and internship guidance are minimal, which could be improved to make students more job-ready after graduation.
Infrastructure can be improved, especially classrooms and laboratory equipment. Some facilities feel outdated and require modernization.
Placement opportunities for BSc students are limited. The college focuses more on academics, so students need to prepare for higher studies or competitive exams on their own.

Placement Experience:

The average package offered for such roles ranges between ?2–3 LPA, while the highest package offered to a BSc student is around ?4 LPA, depending on skills and specialization. Overall, around 15–20% of BSc students get placed through campus drives, and many students rely on off-campus opportunities.

Heritage Institute Of Technology, Kolkata

I applied to plenty of state engineering colleges and only made it to UIT, BU which has awful facilities and a good ragging culture. So I opted out and went to a private college. Among private colleges, as far as I know, WB, IEM and Heritage are considered to be better. IEM's strict uniform code, zero campuses made me choose Heritage over IEM. The admission process is 1) Through West Bengal Joint counselling, which I went through, 2) Management Quota. Also, another reason why I picked Heritage over other private colleges is that it's fees is lower compared to other private colleges in west Bengal....Read More
