What Students Say

Likes

College infrastructure is decent but there is some need for improvement of labs.
Social interaction is good , seniors are always in touch with juniors not any serious ragging
The faculties are very dedicated and experienced

Course Curriculum Overview

My specific aspects is the knowledge of technolgy in industru. Also the curriculum is updated time to time so it can match the standards of industry. Also the placements are very good in my branch (famous for 100%).

Class Size: 63Course Fees: INR 135000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

In the 1st year the total yearly fees excluding the hostel is 135000 and after it will be 127500 in next 3 years.Caution fees= 5000,registration fees= 2500.There are 3 fee waiver seats in every branch in which no tuition fees has to be paid for eligible students. The fees for all categories is equal. There is UP government samman nidhi scholarship for only home state quota students in which they get around 55-60k for general students, 75-80k for obc students, 100-110k for sc/st students and many more private scholarships like reliance, tata etc.

Campus Life

Campus life is fantastic, batchmates are friendly, seniors are chill and very helpful. We bunk many classes and do chill in canteens, cafe. There are 9 clubs in our college - NSS , photography, literary, hobby , cultural, sport, yoga , print and media . All clubs are generally run by our reapected seniors and there is no any eligibilty criteria for joining any club if you have interest you can join anyone or two or how much you want to join. Approximately all books are available in the library and the timing is 9 to 5.

Admission

The Harcourt butler technical university is the one of the oldest engineering college of india having the legacy of 103 years and the no.1 state government college of UP .My rank is not enough for top NITS so i have options of state gov. colleges. At the time of counselling i am choosing the college by seeing infrasture, education, placements and HBTU is much better than all others in every terms. The admission is through jee mains Some cutoffs %tile : CSE - 98.5 IT- 98 Electronics-97.5 Electrical-97 Mechanical- 96 Chemical and civil-95 Paint tech. - 94 Plastic tech. - 93

Faculty

The faculty to student ratio is about 1:20 which is good enough. The faculties are so much supportive and if you want their help for any reason like academic, hostel, personal then they will help you.One of the best our Dean of student welfare respected Alak pandey sir is always ready for help of student as much as possible by them. There are 2 mid semester exam and end semester exam in each semester .Exams are not very tough but you have to study atleast 1 week before from exams (don't follow one night fight strategy) .Scoring 7cg is not a big deal.

Night Life

I am day scholar so i can't know much about nightlife but as i get to know from my hostelers friends that they enjoy so much in nights. They hangout, watch movies, parties and all. Gyms and cafeterias all are well and good in conditions and there is availibility of all items which is required.

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.

Likes

I liked the faculties of my college they are very supportive and helpful towards the students.
I like the curriculum which more learning based then theory
I like the support that is provided by the college towards the placements of the students

Dislikes

I don't like the attendence system of our college it very hectic to students
There is lot of focus on exam in my college which I don't like
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.

My collage identity

This college is the 2nd best B.Tech college in UP after IIT and its placement is also good. One has to clear JEE for admission in HBTU in which one has to get rank in thousand for CSE .Those with lower rank can try the sports round once, in which there are more chances of losing admission in lower branch like FT OT. Since my rank was 10 lakh, my admission also happened in the sports round....Read More

All About the HBTU throught the lens of a first year student.

The other colleges which i applied to were IET Lucknow , IIIT Una , IIIT Dharwad and other lower IIITs . I choose over those since this colleges reputation and placements spoke for itself they had a very good track record regarding this course and many famous companies have been coming here repeatedly. The admission in this college is through HBTU e-counselling site which is a standalone website managed by HBTU itself . It has a registration fees of 2500 rupees is non refundable . There you fill your choice of courses . The branch is alloted according to your JEE MAINS rank and your preference list . After the seat allotment letter you have to visit college and there you will have to submit your documents then you will be given a provisional admission letter and you are given a choice to upgrade your branch to the courses you have selected in your preference list. The admission in this college for UG is given through only JEE MAINS for engineering and all other branches leaving Biotechonlogy and Biochemical where you can get admission through CUET....Read More
