I have a few friends from Heritage Institute of Technology and here is their insight on the management quota admission at the institute. 

According to them, for IT, the management quota fee goes up to 12 lakhs. If you have a decent academic record you can bargain to bring it down to 10-11 lakhs. For ECE, the fees go up to 16 lakhs. 

However, before taking admission at Heritage through management quota you should know that you will not be missing out much if you choose to go to other colleges affiliated with MAKAUT. You will have almost similar placement opportunities and exposure. 

One of my relatives was a student of MNNIT Allahabad and had experienced and eye-witnessed ragging in the university. According to him, the culture of ragging was restrained at MNNIT Allahabad after 2002. 

• The common place to rag and trouble freshers was the hostel area, which was outside the campus. All the freshers were asked to walk in queues. For boys, the dress code was a white shirt with a red third button, white pants, black shoes. For girls, it was white salwar and kameez, black shoes, oiled hair with the compulsion of ribbon. They were supposed to wear this uniform for two-three months. Furthermore, the seniors had asked the freshers to always look at their third button (the red one) whenever they were nearby them. 
• Room visits by seniors used to be a norm. While few seniors used to ask only questions and share their practical experience with juniors, many also used to ask the juniors to salute them at a 90-degree angle, or Paper dance, etc. Some seniors also used to make juniors do their practicals/assignments. 
• There used to be a railway track inside the campus and juniors were often asked to run on the track late at night, in earlier days. 

The situation started to change after 2000/2001 when a student allegedly died from his injuries due to ragging. The University administration started taking complaints seriously and worked their best to maintain peace at the university.

The majority of coaching classes often confuse the real purpose and meaning set behind an IPM programme. Surprisingly enough, they mostly treat it as they do to a regular BBA+MBA programme, without actually recognising the difficulty level essentially associated with it. 

• The difficulty level of IPMAT is several steps ahead of a general BBA examination. 
• Coaching centres function by preparing aspirants for the upcoming CAT exam or a general management entrance coaching.
• Rather than seeking advice from coaching centres, you can avail a specialized mentorship. Either from the students of the respective institute who have recently cleared the IPMAT exam, or choose visiting professors from the admission committee. 
• If you think it is not possible, then seek guidance from the alumni network or the current students. 
• Follow the previous year’s papers and understand the pattern of the questions. You can also seek help from the internet. 

Paying a bulky fee to coaching centers can oftentimes prove to be unnecessary. Your self-study, mostly combined with a vivid general knowledge, can suffice the needs of the exam.
