The faculty and the labs are excellent at Biotechnology Department. Placements are also good. You will find many students in this department who are really very serious and good in studies ie. better than many students of ECE and CSE. 

Most probably the all-department topper in our first semester was from the Biotech department. You may take it if you are interested in this subject.

Tuition Fees	4.04 lakhs
Placement Percentage	70-80 %
Highest Package	12 LPA
Average Package	5-6 LPA

In Heritage, placement means getting placed in the IT sector doesn't matter of any branch. Other branches can't be compared with others, as every branch has its own requirements.

There is a gym in the hostel of Heritage Institute of Technology but it cannot be accessed by anyone unless you are any national-level athlete. 

You can get permission from the sports authorities of the college but the process is so long and tedious. It is not worth the time and effort and there is no guarantee that you will get the permission.

However, you can get good gyms outside the campus. RR Plot, Hosseinpur, Anandpur areas have some good gyms. There is a gym called Asian Fitness Center, a 10-minute walk from the campus, and has an affordable membership fee.

After going through the reviews online, I would like to mention that both the institutions are good in their own ways. Here are some things I got to know from the reviews of both the colleges.

• The facilities provided by Heritage Institute of Technology are very good. 
• The teaching and non-teaching staff is excellent and the institute has a library that is well equipped.
• The alumni network of Heritage is strong and they will help you a lot when it comes to research.
• The placement cell of Heritage is also brimming with activity. 
• The engineering departments are under the leadership of the principal who used to be associated with foreign universities.
• Also, in the placement season of 2020, the CSE department of HBTU enjoyed the most success. 
• Most of the students who ended up getting placed belonged to the CSE department.

Highest CTC	23 LPA	24 LPA
Average CTC	10-15 LPA	16 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Accenture, Cognizant, HP, HCL, etc.	Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Oracle, etc.

Therefore, you can choose any of the colleges to study, as they are both equally good, so studying in any of them will be a great push forward to your career.

With a rank of 3870, your prospects of receiving CSE at Heritage are very good. According to the 2021 cutoff trends, the required cutoff for the branch was 3214. 

If you have got ECE in the first round of counseling there is no risk entering into the 2nd round as you will not lose your allocated seat. Additionally, you cannot lock your seat in the first round. This option is available only after the second round of counseling. 

The bottom line is that once you've been allocated a college and a major, it can’t be taken away. It will only be upgraded if someone above you does not enroll in the college or the course to which they have been assigned. CSE is available and is simple to obtain. Also, I believe there is no risk factor; therefore, you may keep your seat and proceed to the second round of counseling. 

You will almost certainly obtain it if your rank is within 3500. According to the marks you have, you have a good probability of succeeding. 

If you are unable to enter Heritage, do not hesitate to enter Techno India Saltlake. They have also delivered fantastic placements in both CSE and IT this year. I wouldn't recommend IEM Saltlake because it's more strict like a high school than a college.

If you score 85+ marks, I believe you will be eligible for Heritage.

So in the end, I would only suggest to you that it varies year by year that how many marks are required, and as competition is increasing with each day, only your hard work and dedication towards your dream can land you in a good institute.

Before jumping to the conclusion, let us understand all the aspects of the college which can make you feel that it is good for you or not.

• Ragging – There is absolutely no ragging on the campus except for some fun interactions and are actually good ways to build up a rapport with them. Physical or mental assault is absolutely not permitted on campus.
• Education – The college has an adequate number of professors but the problem lies in having “good” professors. No doubt that they are highly qualified and are highly educated but they cannot deliver the same in an interesting way 
• Placement – Hardly one or two companies come for core civil engineering jobs and the rest of others offer IT sector or sales and marketing jobs. There are many students who happily take them but if you are one who wants to do a job in a core civil engineering company then it is really difficult.

Other than that Heritage Institute of Technology is a good college. If you have no problem with the above-mentioned things then it is a very good choice otherwise it may not look so attractive to you.

There is no such thing as a dress code that is followed at Heritage Institute of Technology. The students are required to wear formal wear for the first month of their course, after which they are allowed to wear casuals. It is beneficial to have a good fashion sense when you are attending college. You may face ragging from your seniors while interacting with them in casual clothes. For a few events and lectures, it may be mandatory to wear formal clothes.

Heritage Institute of Technology would be a better choice. Since it has become autonomous, it has advantages over institutes that are under WBUT.

• Heritage will provide you very good exposures in both from the academic and the industrial point of view. 
• You will also be aided in your research and project oriented internships from the faculty. 
• It is one of the best institutes for pursuing engineering not only in Kolkata but in West Bengal. 
• The environment of HIT is also excellent for studies.

A lot of my friends studied there and they are very satisfied with the education and training they received. So it is suggested that you go for Heritage Institute of Technology.

The B.Tech programs offered by CU are far superior to Heritage in almost every parameter. 

Student Crowd:(CU>HIT)

Going by the recent cutoff trends, the closing rank for CSE at HIT is around 3.5k, whereas for CU it is around 1.1k. Many students from HIT CSE in fact shift to CU Chemical, Electrical, Instrumental during the spot rounds. 

Faculty Base: (CU>HIT)

• For branches like CSE/IT, CU has a great faculty base. There are faculties like Amlan C & Nabendu Chaki who are from Ivy League colleges. In fact, most faculties of CU did their Ph.D., Post Doc from reputed universities abroad or from institutes like ISI Kolkata, SINP, JU, etc. 
• Whereas, most faculties of HIT are CU alumni. The majority of them just did their M.Tech and started teaching. 

Reputation: (CU>HIT)

CU is consistently ranked in the top 10 by NIRF. It also has a good ranking in Asia as well as the world. SN Bose, APC Ray, MN Saha are a few from the vast list of world-renowned alumni of CU.

Outcome: (CU>HIT)

• CU has a graduation rate of around 91% which is much higher than most universities in the country including JU. The graduation outcome for Heritage is around 51%. 
• Also, research paper citation (RPI), public perception, teaching & learning resources of CU is far ahead of HIT. 
• The median CTC offered at CU is around 6 LPA. For HIT the median CTC offered is around 3.35 LPA. 

Infrastructure: (CU>HIT)

• CU offers classrooms equipped with modern facilities and air-conditioned labs. The course fee charged for the B.Tech program is 30,000, which is quite less compared to HIT. 
• HIT Campus is bigger than the technology campus of CU. However, most of the HIT campus area is occupied by other departments such as management, school, etc. 

Judging by all these factors I will say CU is definitely a better option than HIT.
