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.

Likes

Supportive and knowledgeable faculty members with helpful mentoring
Friendly campus environment and good participation in events.
Decent infrastructure with labs, library, facilities and classroom.

Dislikes

More industry workshop and seminars can be held to increase exposure.
Encouraging more internship and training opportunities for students.
Expanding campus activities and facilities for overall development

Placement Experience:

The students are eligible for placements in the final year. The college offers basic placement training and assistance. Some local and local-level comanies even visit for campus recruitment with average offers. Average package: 2-4 LPA, highest around 9-10 LPA 60-90 percent students get placed. My plan is to develop my skills and attain a good job or go for higher studies after degree.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
