Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Course curriculum is same as of other government institutes. They follow syllabus of IITs . You can prepare good for the GATE Examination from this syllabus. You can make notes from the regular classes taken by professors and easily score good in the middle semester and end semester examinations.

Class Size: 85Course Fees: INR 127500 per year

Internships Opportunities

Very rare internships are provided by the college. Earlier Airtel and optum comes for internships,but they have not provided internship from last 2 years. Since Industrial Training is important after 2nd year so you have to find internship in your own . It is a subject of 7th semester.

Placement Experience

Generally placements are good at our college. But due to recession 2023 and 2024 batch suffered a lot(specially 2024 batch) in software domain jobs. But core branches are still performing very well. Overall average lies between 8-9 lpa.

Fees and Financial Aid

In first year you have to give 135000 Rs in which 5000 is refundable at the end of your B.Tech and 2500 is non refundable amount. For remaining 3 years you have to give 127500. Scholarship is provided by UP government according to your category. For general and Gen-Ews scholarship amount is 56000 approximately. College also provide scholarship to the branch toppers.

Campus Life

Infrastructure is average in HBTU , since it's a government college so don't expect much from it. In our electronics department only one lab is having ac. For extracurricular activities you can join any club . There are many clubs and sports facilities in our college.

Admission

For btech, college accepts JEE Mains score. It is not included in the jossaa councelling. You have to apply from its website. I got a seat in Electronics Engineering department in open category in the year 2020.

Faculty

Faculty is good , highly qualified. They had done their post graduation from reputed institutes like IITs, NITs, etc. But you should not completely depend on them. You have to develop your skills on your own.

Overall Feedback for College - Admission , Placement , Course , Faculty , Events

Likes

the security is nice at my college like proper cctv and guards , apart from that labs , and my dept is too good. Ac classroom and labs
They have provided average placement like most of companies are mass hiring like tcs and accenture ..and only few companies come to offer big package
Infrastructure is good but there is need of reconstruction at some places the water is ticking in rain season continuously, and curriculum is okay okay not that much relevant to industry , they taught text books rather than the real practical cases

Dislikes

The examination checking - the student who is cr or having any relation with teachers got highest marks without writing the answer properly
The food canteen first of all the canteen is off from the past 1 or 2 year and now it reopen but it sells dirty food , waste foods
The college professor support , they are not that much supportive

Course Curriculum Overview:

coding I am interested in coding that why I offer this course It provide some courses but not all courses are related to real world they have to use practical examples and make students aware of the real industry According to me the time and frequency is okay of exam

The Education system lacks a little bits as the teachers leaves the institute in a short period time , like end of the semester.

Engineering: Dream and Reality

# My HBTU Engineering Admission Story Joining HBTU was not first choice but compromise choice. Initially tried for IIT Kanpur, but low JEE rank block my entry. IIIT Allahabad entrance exam also not go well - scored less in mathematics section. My dream was top engineering college but reality hit different. ## Comparison Parameters - Fees: HBTU cheaper than private engineering colleges - Placement: Around 70-80% placement rate - Infrastructure: Better than local private colleges, not match IIT standard - Faculty: Mix of experienced and young teachers - Location: Kanpur industrial area good for internship opportunities ## Admission Process Drama - Through UPTU/AKTU counseling - Required documents: - JEE/UPTU rank card - Class 12th marksheet - Domicile certificate - Character certificate - Counseling process online and offline - Seat allocation based on rank and preference - Total admission time: Around 15-20 days - Registration fee: ?5000-?10000 ## Why Selected HBTU - Government college tag - Decent reputation in local engineering circle - Affordable education - Close to home - Civil engineering branch available Not perfect college, but practical solution when dream colleges reject. Learning to make best of what available!...Read More

A sweet sight of HBTU

Eligibility of course decided on behalf of your jee mains score and category. After the exam of jee mains the HBTU counseling portal is opened for students where they can apply and fill their desired branches and on basis of your result college faculty alloys you the branch. And you can also apply in spot counseling. The application fees is based on your category. Reservation students can get good course like IT and computer science and engineering at 90 percentile.
