Remarks

I enjoyed my college life at fullest .Those are the best moments of my life.

Entrance Preview

HBTU is best colleges in UP apart from IIT Kanpur and IIT BHU.It is equivalent to MNIT Allahabad .The Alma Mater of HBTU is very rich and diverse . Campus is good .The beauty of HBTU is that it has 15 branches of Engineering. Placement is above average .

Course Curriculum Overview

Course curriculum is simple and it is being updated according to market demand and innovation as well as AICTE guidelines . For notes you have to follow each and every lecture of professors as well as we have central Library where you can find Lakhs of books.

Placement Experience

4.5

Placement is very good if you got one . Brand name of HBTU is there in industries as well as PSU cause of our Alma Mater. Almost 80% placement is there . Even if didn't get any and you are serious college will help you to find one . Now a days Harcourtians are after entrepreneurship.

College Events

Oddessey anual cultural festival . Followed by Kavi Sammelan every year . Apart from different clubs are there which are having their own anual fest There are one technical fest conducted by school of Engineering Apart from that alumni meet and sports meet also happens.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fees structure is feasible but food bills is little expensive . You can do Engineering at a cost of 1.25 lakh per year if you're not having girlfriend.It may increase if you have one . Kanpur city is good and not so costly . You can also earn stippend during the course.

Fees and Financial Aid

Up government scholarship is there which reimburses the paid fees of the college every year if you are eligible. You can get education loan easily.

Campus Life

Campus life is good but you have to see compromise on gender Ratio like all government engineering College . Extracurricular activities are in bunch .labs are at par , clubs are there to groom you they will give you every opportunity to grow and groom.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Hostel facility I will give 3*/5* because it is not at satisfactory level.New hostels are good. Mess is same like hostel facility but they governed by students body .so you will get food of your choice . Otherwise you can also stay in PG nearby the campus.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni Network and senior students are very very helpful and they will help Harcourtians to any extent.

Exam Structure

Exam sturcture is like 2 mid term along with End sem final examination . 2mid term of each subject adds 30marks contribution in final result and 10marks for attendance and 10marks for assignment and all .there are two semesters in a year . Marking is little bit tough but transpperancy is best.

Admission

I appear in UPSEE 2014 and got a rank under 2000 then attended counseling of UPSEE . But now the procedure is changed ,You have appear for JEE Main which is happening twice in a year and after getting good rank you can register yourself for the separate counseling for HBTU Kanpur and for getting the benefits of home state you have to submit the domicile certificate of up resident to claim that benefits. Apart from that you can also get admission through NE quota J&K quota and NRI quota.

Faculty

Faculty of college is easy to access and they are very co operative in nature infact they are eager to help you if they found you serious . Specifically Prof.Alak Kumar Singh HOD of my Department is very Good .He is ready to help students in any need.

A honest review about NIET(fees, internship,faculties,placements,and everything you need to know before joining)

Likes

The quality of study is very appreciable. As our syllabus is very updated. Also the practical knowledge in colleges very good as well.
New buildings for 1st year as to prevent ragging is a very plus point. This prevent first year student from ragging and also give them a very friendly and good environment as well.
The placements are very good as in terms of quantity and quality as well many many companies came here and also many big companies which do not come in any other colleges in greater Noida also come in NIET.

Dislikes

The one thing I decide is high requirement of attendance which is 85% attendance by this criteria we get less time in fore hours kill enhancement and learning other things.
Also the coding culture is quite not good for 1st year as well so this thing also I don't like.
The other thing I don't like is that the assignments pressure was quite high in semester one and very very much assignments was given to our branches as well.

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for setting in the campus placements is from 6 semester. And for internships the students become eligible from 4th semester and the internship is mandatory for every student. The companies visiting the college are quite in number. The highest placements which was offered during the ongoing placement is 44 lpa. And the average packages for company and profiles of a days 7 to 8 LP. The percentage of students getting placements are very good as 80 to 90% students are getting placed. My plans after getting the degree is to get the highest placement

one of the best things about iiit Lucknow is the senior junior culture senior 8 January approachable and helpful
IIIT Lucknow has developed are reputation for its coding culture competitive programming open source project and hackettrons are deeply immediate
another unique aspect is the gender ratio which is the round one girl for every 2.5 poise compared to take institute is relatively balanced and healthy

Dislikes

compare to other reputed College Lucknow does not have very vibrant fest culture there are fewer culture music
hostel life has its advantages but the dormitories system from 2nd year onward is a big negative for many living with 8 to 12 student
most of faculty members simply come to class 11 lecture and their leave without much interest in melting student or classifying doubts

Placement Experience:

student are eligible for internship from second year and for job placement i think its from 3rd year highest is 1.45crpa avg 33lpa median is 26lpa this year around 201 from 209 get placement to that make around 96 %

I also liked the ground and sports facilities of our college . Our college has 3 big grounds and a sac also a gym which has latest equipments and many more things.
The fests of our college is amazing , recently a fest called kashiyatra happened which is biggest fest of our college

Dislikes

I disliked the infrastructure of our college . Our college do not have ac in lecture halls or even there is no single ac for students in campus .
In our college the equipments in manufacturing practice are very old they are rusted and facilities don't even want to tell about those equipments. They are lazy .
Our college IIT bhu don't have their boundaries it is connected to bhu that's why clashes happened every month . Students of IIT and bhu fight every month and the service of proctor in IIT bhu is very disrespectful,they are lazy and don't take actio

Placement Experience:

Our college IIT bhu provides placement at end of year companies came for hiring students and hire them . Our IIT has 2nd rank in terms of placement in all iits. At the end of 3rd year students became eligible for campus placements. Our college also provide internship in third year companies came for internship in our college. My plans after getting degree is to get a high paying job in india and give financial stability to my family. Approximately 70 percent students get job in placement sessions.

Inside Experience of my Time in University

Likes

I really liked learning in the Electrical Workshop. The Smithy Shop and the Welding Shop were my favourites. The Faculty there, were truly very enthusiastic and not stressful. The Electrical Workshop helps us to learn the hands on skills, of labour.
I liked the Cultural Fiesta, which is an Annual Event, where different Artistic, Technical and Sport Activities were prevalent. My favourites were Jam, Debate, Artwork, Basketball, Skits and Corner Plays, Creative Writing Sessions, Onstage activities
I liked the beautiful diversity and greenery of my University, different departments, crossing one another, everyone is friendly with one another. No unnecessary mess, during the class sessions, and there were not any such restrictions while we skip.

Dislikes

I did not like the high fees structure, which surrounded with our Course, as Btech is a vast expanded course, that requires more practical skill mastery, rather than theoretical study. I think the fees structure must be revised for deserving students
The Faculty were pretty knowledgeable, but I guess they did not put their knowledge into full action. Only a few Teachers focused upon enlightening the students with profitable learning. The use of resources and knowledge is indeed must for such.
In comparision to the high fees structure, I realised that the internship and campus placement opportunities were not adequate, to amass all the departments and their students. A Company Campus Pool is not something for both Commerce and Engineering

Placement Experience:

Placements are both on and off-campus based. Placements are usually common for both IT and Non-IT students, Technical or Non-Technical. Students become eligible, in their final years to pursue internships or acquire placements. Usually students from Computer Science and Engineering avail more placement opportunities. The Medical Department have more options of Employability. Companies like HCL, Byju's, Extramarks, IBM and other local companies like Stambh Power Systems, Pieinfocomm and others have arrived. But the placement ratio needs to be increased. Off-Campus Placements are more successful. Highest Package can be 8lpa CTC to average package be 2.5lpa CTC, with profiles of assistance and associates. Atleast 30% students get placed on average. My plans are based on Learning in different ways.

College friends only there is not a single thing that college will provide you to like about it.

Dislikes

College infrastructure and no one is serious about placement
TPO and Director behaviour they are totally unable to make your future bright

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would like to inform uh that electronic and communication is a very good trade to choose. So many carreer opportunities if you will go in in industrial area, or in government sector. Make some connections with ur seniors others it is tough to enter in industry for freshers.

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
