What Students Say

Likes

Hindusthan College is good when it's comes to infrastructure and education. They conduct so many programs, workshops, webinars and others for the sake of students. The overall experience was very good.
The hostels are good compared to other pg's. The hostel rooms and food are better than other hostels.
Teachers are very friendly and they allow students to organize programs and workshops so that we can learn team work and organizing skills.

Dislikes

Teachers were changing often so that was one thing that we didn't like.
No proper tours and trips during college days.
College hostel wardens are very strict and no outings.

Course Curriculum Overview

I have completed my bachelor's degree in food processing technology and management. This course is not so popular now but soon it will be. Because all of us depend on food for survival and we use so much of processed food products now a days. So in future we have a lot of scope in this field. But now it is still unrecognised. In this course we learn about processing food products in industries, the machinaries used in the industries and their working principles. We will also learn about foods and their nutrients and their chemical nature in detail. This course is very interesting if you are interested in learning this. And also you can produce your own products and start a bakery or restaurant or do business.

Class Size: 50Course Fees: INR 50000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee structure of hindusthan College of arts and science is not too high or not too low , it has an average fee structure. For bachelor's degree we need to pay around 25k per semester, which means 50k per year( semester fees only). Yeh, there is availability of scholarships for first graduates and based on caste system. I don't think we have campus employment opportunities.

Campus Life

The infrastructure is really good. You will good spacious classrooms and nice auditoriums. We will have programs and some functions often. They say HILARICAS is the best event. We will have workshops and career development programs. They conduct competitions often so you can show and improve your talent.

Hostel Facilities

College Hostels are very good in hindusthan College. Some may feel that the food is not good untill you explore pg hostels. You will feel the food is much better in college hostel. The staffs are very strict in college hostel. We have normal,deluxe, deluxe with ac, and ultra deluxe hostel rooms. The fee structure differs accordingly. But you won't have freedom to go out after 5pm.

Hostel Fee: INR 85000 per year

Admission

You can apply online or offline. Go to the college's official website and you can apply. There is no entrance exams in hindusthan College of arts and science. You have to upload the required documents (e.g. marksheets, passport size photo). If you apply offline you must full the form and attach the required documents. It is a simple procedure if we do it sincerely.

Faculty

3.5

The teaching staffs are highly qualified but lecturers in our department ( food processing technology and management) were completely new to teaching field. So the teaching was not very effective. But we had friendly relationship with our teachers. They provided us with all the notes and stuffs during exam preparation and they were ready to help us whenever we asked them.

Nit Trichy B.Sc. B.ed. student review

Likes

girls to boys ratio is 1:1 is we consider all three branches with some courses with more male while other having for female.more or less the ratio is near 1:1
the most important thing for you is there is close to zero discrimination for you , whether you want to join any club or perform anything you are equivalent to students with others bachelor degree
octagon and library are the two things which are good as library is considered the biggest library among all nit's while octagon having 800 computers for students.NSO ground is also well maintained with the beautiful mig fighter jet to take cool phot

Dislikes

for first years hostel are well maintained if compared with others but don't expect much from hostel atlast this is a government college.in first year 3 to 4 person sharing room are there which was build to carry 2 person.
Quant and entrepreneur thing is not there as you might expect by seeing the nirf 9 ranking but it is not zero .they are growing clubs like profNITT and Sigma are young and they could do better
curfew timing for girls are 9 or 9:30 pm i guess be it any year. for boys ,only freshers have curfew with timing 9:30 pm.other than that any student can't step outside the college after 10 pm without the sign out form.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose this course as maths is the mother of all science and quite related to other fields so it opens a lot of door for me like mba ,mtech ,phd or any other things. this course is specifically designed for becoming teachers so keep that in mind before taking this course as they are not flexible in changing curriculum or adding something for the sake of students as of now. also you will be having more working days compared to other courses with 80 percent mandatory attendance.after first sem you will get 1 week holiday and after 2nd sem you will get 50.days holiday and after first year you can expect 20 days holiday for winters and 50 days holiday for summers. you will get a lot of time to study for exams. before ct 1 you can expect 2 months and then atleast a month for ct 2 and endsems. cons are that you don't have the right to choose minor or electives like btech students.you have to compulsory study all three science .i.e. maths , physics, chemistry.

HIMT COLLEGE REVIEW

Likes

The faculties are very well experienced and there are captains who stay in the campus itself, so if there’s something we need they will be available all the time
The facilitieslike labs, ship in campus, DB tank facilities etc are top notch
The classrooms are fully air conditioned. There’s smart board. Overall everything is really good and also neat and clean

Dislikes

Galley food can improve a little and canteen is comparatively small for such a big campus
They are not conducting intra- college events and inter-college events is very less

Placement Experience:

Placements are really good in HIMT. I got placed in 1st year itself in MOLMI. All faculties try their best to prepare us for the placements and it shows in the placement interview also. Usually companies come for placements from 2nd year but there are some companies who want to take girl cadets 1st year itself. MOLMI, MOLTA etc came to our college for placements. After completion of the course, company will call for induction and accordingly they will call for joining the ship. For finishing the cadet ship , we have finish 12 months of sea time. After that a lot courses has to be done for appearing in 2 nd mates exam.

Average experience in HICAS

I chose this college because it had Full-time timings unlike some nearby colleges that provides part-time timings. The overall admission process could be described as smooth. Plenty of guidance and information was given regarding the documents needed, the facilities available and the fee structure and other detailed information. It allowed for comparision between other institutions and making the decision process easier. Changing the timings at the final year was inconvinient because I had chosen this college because of these specific timings....Read More
