What Students Say

Likes

The campus life is cool. Good ecosystem of societies, infrastructure and peer group for self development.
Knowledgeable faculty members who provide deep insights into conceptual knowledge.
Focus on application of knowledge via practical sessions, industrial visits, etc.

Dislikes

Often there is rigidity in the education protocols. Needs to be more liberal.
Less Integration and exposure of undergrad students into research works.
Less collaboration between Seniors and juniors.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Course curriculum is very comprehensive and includes adequate and comprehensive practical work and onsite visits. Thus, we are well prepeared to face the real world challenges. The exams - minors and majors are well designed and helps us to judge our level of understanding of the core concepts.

Class Size: 150Course Fees: INR 50000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

We get internship opportunities at many companies. Personally I chose to get internship via my own connections at Omaxe Builders for onsite civil engineering experience of construction of apartments. Also, one intership was done at UP-PWD for bridge construction in Lucknow. No stipend was offered in these.

Placement Experience

3.5

Placements are good. Specially Computer Science guys get high package. Core sector companies also visit the college. Even many PSUs come to college to recruit. Even without a campus placement, lot of opportunities for off campus placement with an IIT tag and a strong alumni network.

Fees and Financial Aid

Being a government college, the fees are noiminal. Around 40k for a semester. Scholarships are avialable for meritorious students. MCM scholarship is popular. Also, for reserved category of students, there are many scholarships and fee wavier. Students can avail intership opportunities via a strong alumni network.

Campus Life

4.5

Overall campus life was good. Many societies for extracurricular development. NSS, NSO, NCC verticals are very well developed with a healthy interaction of seniors and juniors. Infrastructure is good. Big parks, gym, sports infra, good labs, big and high tech classrooms and much more.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel facility was good for 2nd, 3rd and 4th year. It was affordable. Food quality was good and provided a good refreshment for students. Further, we had high speed internet and places to socialise in the hostel. Good facilities to suppor the students.

Hostel Fee: INR 10000 per year

Admission

Admission process was smooth. It was via IIT-JEE exam. The top rankers got into the best courses of the college. For My course of civil engineering you need to get a rank of around 2500. Exam frequency - Held every year. The Admission process was onile+Offline. Hence we had opportunity to visit and see the lush green campus. Support team was good.

Faculty

4.5

The faculty is highly experienced and knowledgeable. The faculty to student ratio is not that good and this hinders 1:1 interaction and personal mentorship experience. The way of teaching and lab works are very good. The teachers are available to guide but you need to be pro-active to extract guidance from them.

A Well-Rounded B.Tech Journey with Good Infrastructure, Supportive Faculty, and Growing Career Opportunities

Likes

Faculty members are generally qualified and approachable, and students can seek help with academics and projects.
students should supplement the university curriculum with industry certifications, coding practice, internships, GitHub projects and real-world development work.
There are cultural events, technical activities, clubs, sports and other extracurricular activities. Hostel students can participate fairly actively in campus events.

Dislikes

The main improvement I'd look for would be more advanced, industry-standard laboratory equipment and greater practical exposure.
I couldn't find a reliable current official university figure for the overall girls-to-boys ratio.
The ratio can also differ substantially between CSE, other engineering branches and the university as a whole.

Placement Experience:

Haridwar University provides regular campus-placement opportunities across IT, core engineering and other sectors. The university reports strong overall placement activity, but programme-wise salary and placement data are limited publicly, so students should ask for CSE-specific statistics before admission.

I like the college curriculum and study materials and teaching style of the teachers . Some teachers are impressive and their teaching style is too good .
Campus life is not much engaging but we usually spent our time in studying only . Also for attendance there is not much more criteria but some teachers are very strict in taking the attendance.
Faculties are full of experience and knowledge. They are approachable online and offline too but after the class.

Dislikes

I don't like the placement system in my college because the students studying in 2nd year do not get any exposure of placement . There is placement cell in our college but not very active .
Infrastructure is good but it should be spread in a more big acres . My wish was to get into IIT Kharagpur that's why I am asking for big campus .
Overall curriculum and research based approach of the campus is good. They just give projects to the seniors and seniors work is to dictate us about the project and helps us in building different types of project.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The main aspects that motivates me to choose this college is the GFTI'S colleges . Because my father suggest me that govt. Colleges seeks more companies that's why I choose this college . But truth is totally opposite from the reality. Real world application based projects is just given by the teachers in every semester but we students copy it and give it to them from the gpt. College timing should be more less we have to study from 10 am to 5 p.m. Timings of exams are of 3 hrs only in semester . Difficulty level is moderate.

Graduation- Best time of life.

Likes

The campus of the university is beyond beautiful and homely. Participation in college and university societies paves way for an all rounder development of the students. Facilities like CCF internet facility) is quite commendable.
Good Placements offered also encourage better future prospects. The library of the university is next level. Kisan mela held two times a year feels like another celebration for the university people.
Events held in the university with amazing artists offer exposure as well as a unique way to keep the entertainment alive amongst the youth.e

Dislikes

The hostel rules were rigid especially the entry timings of the girls hostel. The rigidity to take leave by getting it signed by various officials first had been an issue. Although, this was when i was graduating, things might have changed by now.
The stringent hostel rules were quite difficult to cope with. The strict checking at the university gates though might seem good as per the security but seem harsh sometimes.
Teaching methods could be made more progressive and technical with time paving way for more practical knowledge. Infrastructure could also be given a push.

Placement Experience:

In final year of btech companies start coming. Maximum students of CSE and IT get placed. Package is min. 3.2Lacs CTC. Both mass recruiters and startups take part in the placement drive. A good number of students get placed. But maximum students of our college opt for higher studies like appearing for GATE, GRE, CAT exams. Further students indulge in preparation for govt services like UPSC, Defence.

I had 4 main options in hand after JEE - BSc Physics in IISC Bangalore (I had cleared KVPY), Electrical engineering in IIT Indore, EPH in IIT Roorkee, and Computer Science in Nit Trichy. I did not choose IISC, as I wasnt sure whether I wanted my career to be in research. My coaching faculties advised me not to take an NIT when I was getting a top 7 IIT. It was a tough choice choosing between EE in IITI, and EPH in IITR. However, at the end, I choose Roorkee because of its legacy, better facilities, and a calmer environment.
