What Students Say

Likes

The placement statistics of this college is really good.
The faculty is very experienced and highly qualified.
The Fests here are good and are worth participating.

Dislikes

The hostel facility is far away from the academic block.
The sports equipment and ground is not so pleasing.
The gymnasium does not have all the equipment.

Course Curriculum Overview

My branch preference was CSE then IT, it got IT in accordance with my rank. IT is also a very trending and competitive branch now-a-days. The faculty:student ratio is decent; neither so good, nor so bad. There are around 70 to 80 students in my branch. The faculty is very skilled and highly qualified. Many of them have done their M.Tech or P.hd from reputed colleges in India and from abroad. Their teaching method is average, but many of them have a vast knowledge in their paricular field. In B.Tech every semester has 2 Mid Semester exams and 1 End Semester examination. Passing them is not a very difficult task, and if you study regularly you will get a good CGPA.

Class Size: 80Course Fees: INR 135000 per year

Internships Opportunities

The college does provide internship opportunities in the 3rd year, that is from the start of 5th sem. Many students get internship in campanies like BSNL, DUCAT Noida, Coding Ninja, IIT Kanpur, IIIT Allahabad, and many more.

Placement Experience

4.5

Students become eligible for campus placement from the 7th semester. Many reputed companies visit the college for placement like Samsung, Paytm, Optum, SDS, and many more. The average package in the IT branch is around 12 lakhs. Around 90% eligible students gets placed every year.

Fees and Financial Aid

Currently there is no policy such as fee hike policy. The cost to study is very low as compared to the private colleges. You can apply for external scholarship if you want, but the college itself provides a scholarship program for the EWS students. Many companies visit it's campus, so on campus job is not a very big issue.

Campus Life

The annual fest and the tech fest occurs at the same time. AAGAZ, AARAMBH, TECHNIKA are the sports, annual, and tech fests respectively. They are conducted in the month of April. The library contains a wide variety of books, newspaper, magazines, and journals. Their are several clubs for different activites like sports, dance, music, singing, etc.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

The hostel facility is a little disappointing, as the hostel hygiene and cleanliness is not maintained properly. And apart from that the hostels for boys are so far away from the main academic area. The hostel mess is not so good, the quality of food becomes good and some days it becomes very bad. Registration for hostel and mess is done in the hostel itself. I recommend renting a room of PG near the college.

Hostel Fee: INR 61000 per year

Admission

To get into the B.Tech course of this college you have to first get a decent rank in the JEE MAINS examination. The admission in this college is based on the rank you get in the JEE MAINS exam. Then it's just a piece of cake, you have to apply for the course whenever the applications are out and you will to fill up the branch preferences according to your need. The application fee varies but it's generally 2000 rs. Various reservations are available like OBC, SC/ST, girls quota, etc.

My collage identity

This college is the 2nd best B.Tech college in UP after IIT and its placement is also good. One has to clear JEE for admission in HBTU in which one has to get rank in thousand for CSE .Those with lower rank can try the sports round once, in which there are more chances of losing admission in lower branch like FT OT. Since my rank was 10 lakh, my admission also happened in the sports round....Read More

All About the HBTU throught the lens of a first year student.

The other colleges which i applied to were IET Lucknow , IIIT Una , IIIT Dharwad and other lower IIITs . I choose over those since this colleges reputation and placements spoke for itself they had a very good track record regarding this course and many famous companies have been coming here repeatedly. The admission in this college is through HBTU e-counselling site which is a standalone website managed by HBTU itself . It has a registration fees of 2500 rupees is non refundable . There you fill your choice of courses . The branch is alloted according to your JEE MAINS rank and your preference list . After the seat allotment letter you have to visit college and there you will have to submit your documents then you will be given a provisional admission letter and you are given a choice to upgrade your branch to the courses you have selected in your preference list. The admission in this college for UG is given through only JEE MAINS for engineering and all other branches leaving Biotechonlogy and Biochemical where you can get admission through CUET....Read More
