The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Haldia Institute of Technology has established a nice reputation for itself over the past few years. 

• The professors and other members of the faculty for the mechanical engineering department are experienced. 
• The department also has good facilities for the laboratories. 
• The teaching methodologies are considered to be above average by a majority of students enrolled in mechanical engineering courses. 
• The only shortcoming of Mechanical Engineering at Haldia is on-campus placement drives. Very few core companies visit the campus to recruit students almost every year. 
• In case you want to be recruited by a reputed core company after graduation then you must maintain a good academic record from the first semester itself. 

Following table is a brief description of the course:

Some rules for the recruitment drives have been established according to which only the top students based on their CGPA score would be eligible to appear for the selection rounds of core companies. These rules to shortlist the top candidates are usually set up by the corporations visiting the campus for recruitment of students. The options for off-campus recruitment would always be available for you. You can always prepare and apply for job roles via off-campus recruitment of core companies. 

According to my friends studying at Haldia Institute of Technology, yes there is a uniform code. You may feel a bit disappointed after knowing that you will have to wear a uniform to go to college, but the uniform keeps on changing. 

• Earlier the uniform was changed every 4 years but now there are three different uniforms for freshers, 2nd & 3rd year and for the seniors. 
• The dress code for 4th-year students is navy blue pants with blue & white stripes shirts along with a tie. 
• For 2nd & 3rd year students, the dress code is black pants with red + deep blue + yellowish cream-colored striped shirt along with a tie. 
• For the freshers, the dress code is black pants with pink & white colored shirts along with a tie. 
• The freshers will be provided with uniforms within 2 months since the commencement of their semester. Till then, you can wear formal clothing. 

Hence, there is a rule of wearing a uniform to the college for every student. But currently, there are three different uniforms provided to freshers, seniors and 2nd & 3rd-year students. And you will have to wear your assigned uniform every day without any excuses. 

If you have a few concerns regarding the placement of the department of Chemical Engineering, I have mentioned the following details, after researching about it online.

• Not many core companies visit Haldia Institute of Technology for chemical engineering.
• My friend who recently graduated however believes that the institute offers ample opportunities t in reputed companies via the on-campus recruitment drives organized every year.
• Some core companies that have recruited chemical engineers at HIT include Haldia Petrochemicals Ltd., Adani Wilmar, Topcem Cement, Praxair, S.G. Biogas, Wacker, IR Chemicals and many more.
• The students of chemical engineering are also eligible to participate in the recruitment process of mass recruiting IT companies like Wipro, Infosys, and Tech Mahindra.
• Few opportunities in the sales department of companies like Berger, and Amazon are also there for interested candidates.
• These two firms do not recruit directly via the on-campus recruitment drives of HIT but they offer chances to students with the help of a Pool Campus recruitment drive.
• Some students also get recruited by companies like Santa Biotech, Omics, and Ericson.

If you refer to the recent data of placements for the Haldia Institute of Technology then you would observe that there are several opportunities available for you especially in the department of Chemical Engineering. All these things would depend upon your capabilities and knowledge about the field of Chemical Engineering.

One of my friends completed his B.tech from the Haldia Institute of technology so, it would be easy for me to answer your question. 

• Among all the colleges in West Bengal, Haldia Institute of Technology has the best campus life. Moreover, the hostel life is one such life that everyone should experience. 
• If you are good at extracurricular activities, then this college has a lot to provide. An annual tech fest is organized at campus. 
• Being a state-level engineering college, you shouldn’t expect a lot from it. You may not receive well-furnished labs and all sorts of comfort which includes average teachers. 
• Placement opportunities are also decent with job roles in reputed IT companies. Even if you are an average student in your studies, you will get a campus placement.

You can experience a diverse college environment as you will see every type of student on the campus. At the end of the day, it’s on you, how you really want to be and which group really suits you.

According to some of the reviews of Haldia Institute of Technology online, I got to know some things, which might answer your question. 

• There are a lot of popular companies such as Infosys, Wipro, Regalix, Cognizant, Paramatrix, Tech Mahindra visiting the college for placements. 
• The packages offered to the students by them are really low. 
• The salary offered by the IT companies ranges from 2.5 LPA to 4 LPA and the average salary offered is around 3 LPA. 
• The salary offered by the core companies of mechanical, electrical, and civil branches ranges from 1.2 LPA to 4.2 LPA. 
• Only the students from respective departments are allowed to sit in interviews for companies like HPCL, Eveready, JBS, Philips Carbon, etc. 
• Some management companies such as Extramarks, Byjus, etc. who visit the campus for interviews to select candidates for sales positions offer packages ranging from 5 LPA to 7 LPA. 
• The salary offered especially to CSE, Mechanical, Civil students are very less compared to some other colleges. 
• These engineering students struggle a lot throughout their 4 years by paying hefty amounts of fees and then receiving much less salary. 

Hence, the salary offered to the students of Haldia Institute of Technology compared to other colleges are less. Though the companies visiting the campus for interviews are very popular and reputed. 

I have heard about this college from one of my close friends. He recently took admission here in 2020 and has talked a lot about the Haldia Institute of Technology. 

• The coding culture in Haldia is notmuch appreciated as it doesn’t satisfy the students’ need to learn to code promptly. Seniors usually guide their juniors in coding.
• The library at the college is well-equipped and it will help you more than the teachers. My friend got all tutored by his seniors and because of which he became quite an expert in coding. 

Furthermore, the college has great placement opportunities during the on-campus drive. There are a number of off-campus offers to choose from. For the 2021 batch, the highest package offered was 40 LPA with 82% of the students placed in total. 

I have heard about the welcoming culture of Haldia Institute Technology from my friend. His first day of college was quite amazing. It usually included allotment of hostel rooms and introduction with roommates. 

During your 1st day at the college, an orientation session will be conducted wherein general information will be shared by seniors and faculty. My friend was assigned a mentor who helped him around the campus and took him to the Department. 

After 1st day, a usual schedule will begin at the college. You will have regular lectures in the morning and fun activities in the evening. You might feel a little bored with this routine but you will love the campus.

The Haldia Institute of Technology is a well-reputed institute in West Bengal. Given the choice, you should go for it. They have a great faculty base. The placement opportunities provided to the students are also good. Core companies such as Johnson control visit the campus placement to recruit from ECE. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at the institute is 3.5 LPA.

The electrical department has not been doing well in some years now, therefore, it would be advisable to not go for this. 

Between Techno and HIT the latter is definitely better. HIT is one of the oldest and finest colleges in West Bengal.
