Heritage Institute of Technology - [HIT], Kolkata - Course & Fees Details

The fee structure for B.Tech students of Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata is given below for your reference.

• Tuition fee (per semester) – INR 44,000 (1st and 2nd semester), INR 45,100 (3rd and 4th semester), INR 46,200 (5th and 6th semester), and INR 47,300 (7th and 8th semester)
• Admission fee (one-time fee) – INR 5,000
• Library fee (one-time fee) – INR 6,000
• Students’ welfare and sports & games fee (one-time fee) – INR 4,000
• Caution deposit (one-time fee and refundable) – INR 10,000
• University students’ development fee (INR 500 paid yearly to MAKAUT) – INR 2,200 (one-time fee)
• Admission kit (one-time fee) – INR 1,000

Thus the total fee amounts to INR 72,200 when you take admission. Since you would have paid INR 20,000 during counseling, you need to pay an additional amount of INR 52,200 after taking the admission. There is a tuition fee waiver scheme implemented by the college according to which you need not pay the tuition fee. In that case, the fee is INR 28,200 and thus you will need to pay only INR 8,200 after taking admission.

The hostel fee is an additional INR 4,500 per month including the mess if you want to take this facility.

The amount keeps changing every year. There is no fixed amount.

Nowadays, the college follows a system of seat-booking whereby you can book a seat if you are not quite sure about your admission to any college. You will have to pay a certain amount specified by the college and your seat will be booked in the stream that you want to opt for if you join the college.

The system is a little different and it is not exactly like the management quota in other colleges. The amount that you have to pay depends on which branch you want to opt for. The more demanding the branch, the more the amount of donation. For example, branches like Computer Science or Electronics are charged more than branches like Applied Instrumentation or Biotechnology.

I would recommend you book a seat and later decide whether you want to join or not. This will cost you less. But, you will have to decide within a short span of time otherwise the authority will move the list and give admission to a lower-ranked individual.

Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata is a very popular and reputed engineering institute of our country. One of my friends studied here. According to him, you can get admission through the management quota by giving some donations. 

• Generally, 10% of the total seats are reserved through the management quota.
• If you have any connections with the college authorities or the admission council, then you can get admission through the general quota by giving some money.
• For the IT branch, it went up to 12 lakhs, but if you are having good marks in class 10th and 12th, then you can bring it down to 9-10 lakhs.
• For the ECE branch, it went up to 16 lakhs and for the CSE branch, it was around 10-16 lakhs depending upon the student’s qualifications.
• The placement opportunities later available are amazing. 
• Top companies such as Wipro, TCS, Infosys visit the campus to recruit students. 

Hence, if you are not able to make it to the merit list then you can get admission to Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata through donation. But do note that the amount is too high. 

Yes, you will get a refund. However, you will not get the total amount. As by then you would have attended 9-10 classes in Heritage Institute of Technology, the institute will calculate that and hence deduct about 10-15% of the total fees. And the remaining amount will be refunded by the authority. But, it is important to know that this process is a little time-consuming. The authorities will take about 10-15 days to complete the refund process.

One of my friends got admission to IEM Kolkata and after getting Kalyani in Spot round, he left IEM. He had gone through the whole refund process. The fee he paid was about INR 80 Thousand. He got a refund of about INR 69 Thousand. So, there is no such risk. You will surely get your fee refunded if you choose to leave this college.

One of my friends graduated from the Heritage Institute of Technology and here is what he had to say about the management quota admission at the institute.

The total fee for the IT branch under the management quota at Heritage Institute Technology can even go up to 10-12 lakhs. 

If you are not getting a good college based on your rank then you should think twice about taking admission in engineering. Don't waste any of the hard-earned money. IT is such a branch where you will have to code for your whole life. So, make sure you are up for that, before taking admission.
