Heritage Institute of Technology (HIT) Kolkata, affiliated with MAUKAT, is ranked 154th in the NIRF Ranking 2020 for engineering colleges in India. According to some of my friends studying there, it is a really good institute.

• The college offers decent placements to students depending on their grade points. 
• The students hit above the 8.5-grade points, every company in the campus placement will hire them. 
• The top recruiters include TCS, IBM, Cognizant, Wipro, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, etc. 
• Most of the recruiters are giant software companies. So, there are fewer core recruiters for other branches.
• The core Chemical Engineering companies include Linde India Limited, Phillips Carbon Black, Berger Paints, VA Tech Wabag, Haldia Petrochemicals, Wacker, TATA Chemicals, Rene Leather, Star Cements, Himadri Chemicals, etc.
• HPL, PCBL, Berger paint generally offer packages of about 4.5-6 LPA.

The Placements cell coordinates with various industries and organizations for placements and internships of students. High numbers of students placed in companies like TCS (Tata consultancy services) and Infosys. These companies are mass recruiters for Heritage institute of technology.

The best institute in terms of placement is Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata. It has pretty good placement records over the years.

Yes, there is. There will be multiple rounds of training, from the first year, you will get soft skills training, until the beginning of final placements in September of the seventh semester, when the college conducts particularly focused Group Discussion and Personal Interview Training. 

At the starting of the 7th semester, there are special classes organized by the training & placement office of HITK and grooming sessions for getting specific skills that are helpful during placement. Heritage does have a Training and Placement Cell, and based on what I've heard from seniors, they do teach you in your final semesters so that you can succeed in things like Computer Programming, Written Aptitude, GDPI (group discussion and personal interview), and eventually obtain a decent job.

The civil engineering branch or any core branches like mechanical or electrical are good at Heritage Institute of Technology. Some professors are really good and helpful while others are not. Some will teach you by their experience while some will teach you by the core concepts.

It’s the students who make the difference between a good and average college. Unfortunately, Heritage Institute of Technology lags behind in this manner. The placements are not good in core branches and in core companies due to this only. Most of the companies that visit the campus are IT sector companies who take people from any branch in a big lot. TCS is a regular recruiter here and they take more than 500 students in one year itself from this campus alone.

Core companies do visit the campus although in small numbers. But to crack their interviews you need to have a good understanding of your core concepts in your branch which unfortunately not all the students are capable of and thus the recruitment in core branches in core companies is low. However, you will get a job after doing civil engineering from this institute, even though it is just an IT job.

Some of my friends studied at Heritage Institute of Technology. According to them, getting into a decent company through campus recruitment from any of the private engineering colleges doesn’t necessitate much effort. Let me state some facts which may be useful to you.

• No matter how hard you work, landing a solid job that matches your goals is really difficult. 
• Only a few good companies visit the campus, and those that do are almost always IT firms. 
• The college TPO will keep pressuring you to attend IT company campus drives, which most students would want to avoid if core firms came to recruit. 
• All companies require a minimum GPA of 6.5–7 in order to be considered for a campus drive. 
• You have no chance if you’re below that. 
• To get into a corporation, though, you must have at least an 8 GPA. 
• Companies do discriminate based on your grades, regardless of how much expertise you have. 
• You mess up one topic, putting your whole semester grades in jeopardy, and your portfolio suffers as a result. 
• Aside from your departmental studies, prepare and build aptitude skills. 
• The first round of the interview process is the most difficult because it depends not only on your personal abilities, but also on the computers and servers that you are utilizing at the time. 
• Your focus and general knowledge will get you to the following round. 

TCS accepts a large number of ECE students from college. When compared to their core counterparts, IT firms recruitment processes are significantly more liberal and discriminatory.

In a word, you’ll need a GPA of at least 8 at the end of your sixth semester, strong aptitude skills, and a touch of luck can make you win a spot in the campus drive.

The average package that gets offered at Heritage Institute of Technology varies from batch to batch with the minimum to a maximum salary ranging in between INR 2.5 Lakhs per annum to around INR 10 Lakhs per annum. The average salary package is roughly around INR 3–4 Lakhs per annum. Some of the major recruiters for Mechanical Engineering at HIT were HPL, Linde India, Infosys, Wipro, etc. 

The package you are offered mostly depends on how you create your profile, which includes your grades, internships, and projects. I am confident that you will receive a decent payout after considering all of these factors at the end of the four years of your program.
