Remarks

Management was very good. I passed out at in 2006. That time placement was an issue for mother engineering stream and that too for female students but I am sure by now, they have come forward a long path and is doing fabulous job on this.

Entrance Preview

JEE...I scored around 5000 something and opted this college as I wanted to study chemical engineering and it was the only private college in Kolkata which offers chemical engineering stream

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

very good. it was very well focused and gave us good grip on the subject and at the same time we could take up one of our favorites and do research and training on that and college is ever supportive of that. for eg. i loved bio technology and wanted to take training on that and my college supported it and it brought me accolades too.

Internships Opportunities

I have less idea about this but i know couple of my friends did that. they had to take educational loan from bank i guess and stipend was not applicable as we were doing bachelor's degree and none pay stipend for BE or B.Tech.

Placement Experience

placement and job opportunities were less for me as I had chemical engineering as a stream and that to a female student. IT and computer science placements were very good but overall I can sayHeritage has given the best placement facility and job opportunities of that time if compared to any other private engineering college of that time.

College Events

all the festival and of course how can one forgets heritage's fest ecclesia...enjoyed to the brim. then we had holi celebration, independence day celebration, freshers day, fest, and many other extra carricular activities were supported. then there was sports day and football tournament, cricket tournament, basketball tournament were there all through the year.

Fee Structure And Facilities

feasible and at per to all other private engineering college in kolkata. it was never expensive and no hidden cost included or no mid semester "we want this- we want that" pandemonium. so it was never been an expensive college and it was very much at per with West bengal university of technology.

Fees and Financial Aid

yes loan facility was there but I have no good idea about that, as I have not undergone through it. But but i know couple of my friends did that. they had to take educational loan from bank. scholarship i really dont have any idea about it... may be by now they have changed a lot and added many such facilities by now.

Campus Life

Campus is one of the best campuses of Kolkata engineering colleges ever. In our time, definitely it was the best. and infrastructure wise also it was one of the best that time,hands down. all other amenities were great. labs and library was one of the best we have ever seen. library facility was very good. campus was something we used to enjoy the most in our college.

Hostel Facilities

hostel facility was very good and so was food. i have never been to hostel and neither ate hostel food , so i am not the correct person to give feedback on this but i had many friends staying at hostel ( that time it was only boys hostel) and they gave a very good feedback on hostels and their stay there

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Yes...They are..we are one of the old batches and we do help juniors and encourage them. we have yearly alumni meet also and we have heritage's alumni group in all the social networking sites. So yes, we are well connected and we always like to help our juniors in every means.

Exam Structure

there were exams in mid semester and and every 6months final semester exam.exam structure was very stringent and very beneficial for students as we used to get our preparation for final semester exam throughout the semester and not only on the verge of semester exam.

Admission

I have got admission through Joint entrance rank and counselling that followed it. Admission procedure was easy and has been taken up from counselling forum...you have to sit for the JEE west bengal exam and crack this college by this. there is no other easy way to the admission here.

Faculty

They were all qualified and were very involved with us. Many of them used to take personal care and whenever in problem we have got our teachers by our side to help us. I remember we used to follow them to their house even for clarification of some problems and some understanding and they were ever patient.

Likes

Supportive Faculty - The professors are highly qualified, approachable and always willing to help students
Free wifi support - There are free wifi support for both student and faculty
Fee Structure - It is very affordable and low compared to other colleges in the region

Dislikes

Placement support is below average, and most studnets have to apply for off campus jobs independently, which is really pathetic in the era of ai where getting a job as a fresher is so difficult
There is no dedicated support or placment cell initiative to help studnets land meaningful summer internships or any kind of internships

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements starting from the 7th semester. For placement drives, we have to visit the main campus, Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL). Since students from other Techno India campuses and branches also participate, the competition is extremely high. In the 2025–2026 academic year, fewer companies visited. Only two companies, Dronahost and WishCare, visited our specific campus directly. The remaining drives—mostly service-based companies like TCS and EY, along with a few startups—were conducted at the main campus. The remaining drives mostly service based companies like TCS, EY etc and quite a few startups has visited to main campus. The package they offered mostly in between 3.5lpa - 6 lpa. Furthermore the selection process of those startups is quite rigorous often consisting of upto 5 rounds of interview, two technical rounds with two technical interviews, and HR round My plans after getting the degree is either pursue an MBA or preparing for govt jobs

Campus life: Hype vs Truth

Likes

The discipline is followed very strictly.Also you have access to library which is good,teachers are helpful and no ragging policy which is strictly followed and has a decent environment.
Thery conduct seminars which encourages students.Many faculty members are knowledgeable experienced in their respective subjects and helpful willing to solve doubts beyond the classroom also.
The college has decent infrastucture including classrooms,labs and library .

Dislikes

While the curriculum is decent ,it lacks sufficeint practical implementation.More hands on projects,real world application and industry exposure would improve learning significantly.
Campus life can sometimes fell limited in terms of active student interaction.Opportunites for clubs,networking and collaborative activities could be improved.
The college comes under St tHomas School so the campus is not great it is compact and has a canteen.

Placement Experience:

I heard it from seniors that before lockdown it was pretty decent but after lockdown the company visits are not that much comapred to before lockdown.Cognizent, Accenture, Mindtree, PQ360 which is a startup company of our senior alumni etc. visits.

Likes

Ragging free campus. Strict action are taken against those who found guilty.
Classrooms are well equipped and are spacious.
There are many fun events that happen in the college

Dislikes

The campus area is too small. The library is not good
The societies are fully controlled by students so huge partiality goes on.
Some of the teachers are mean and are not good.

Placement Experience:

From the 3rd year onwards , students become eligible for internships and stepping in 4th yr , students get eligible for campus placement. Techno provides decent campus placements according to your marks. Good marks also with skills get you better salary. Minimum 7.5 cgpa is mandatory to have you sit for campus placements. The lowest package is 3.4 LPA and highest vary but students also get 14LPA easily. Wipro, tcs ,cap ,gemini, amazon , ibm etc.

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
