What I See at SRM Ghaziabad

Likes

I really appreciated the college clubs and hackathons.
There are variety of events throughout the semester, something to always keep you on your feet.
Some of the faculties are really really experienced and have a unique approach that captures the attention of all the students.

Dislikes

Not many hotspots around campus to hang out after classes.
The infrastructure of the hostel can be improved a lot.
Food in mess is not great, the menu is not very diverse. Everything has aloo.

Placement Experience:

Placements are actually impressive with our college having the highest placement rate among others in the region. We usually achieve ~90% placement. We get opportunities from many large groups, such as Infosys, TCS, JPMC, BNY, Logitech, etc etc The list goes on. The highest package that I saw was of around 1Cr from a company I don't remember their name, but it was based out of SF and was a really great one. Average placement we see is around 12-20LPA packages.

Syllabus are not updated in our college we are studying very old things

Course Curriculum Overview:

I opted for this course because I want to be a software engineer. I chose my course because it was well-informed, and my interest was also in this field from the start. The faculty members and platform were also quite good for nurturing personal skills and making one a skilled and disciplined person in life. I wish this course would focus more on practical things rather than being theoretical. Events, fests, and the campus environment are also very good and pleasing to the eye. Connectivity was also easy from all around the world due to its location. Scholarships were also awarded to almost every student.

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.

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.
