My brother is a recent graduate from Haldia Institute of Technology and as per his experience, there are many things that should not happen at the institute, the way they are happening right now.

• According to the placement statistics, the percentage of students placed from the institute through on-campus recruitment drives is only 50%. 
• Haldia Institute faces difficulty in connecting with mass recruiting firms like TCS, Accenture, Wipro, for on-campus recruitment of the students enrolled in the various UG and PG programs at the institute. 
• The teaching style followed by most of the faculty members is quite degressive and they should learn some new tactics to make the studies more engaging. 
• The administration and concerned authorities do not maintain proper relations with the alumni of the institute which would surely prove to be disadvantageous for the institute in the long run.

These were a few of the aspects about the Haldia Institute of Technology that were considered to be wrong. The institute should work upon these aspects for the betterment of students. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

Information regarding management quota fees is not disclosed by the institute. However, according to some of my friends who acquired admissions in the institute through it, the fees of management quota are around 2 lacs- 2.5 lacs.

The management quota fees are dependent on your negotiator, agent, consultant too. The above-mentioned amount does not include the hostel fees. It is at the time of college fees payment that the students are required to pay the hostel fees. You should consult with your seniors as they have a better knowledge regarding such matters. Although they would suggest that it would be a waste of money.

If you are interested in software, only then you should take admission at Bangalore. A few esteemed software companies such as Wipro, Infosys, etc. visit for the recruitment process.

The chemical branch at the institute is terrific. You should look into this course once as well. Your decision is concerned with building your career therefore make sure you opt for a course that would not make you have regrets later.

Well, according to the information I have received from my friends enrolled in both the institutes, I would say that both of these institutes are not that good. 

• The teaching methodologies used are extremely bad, and the alumni network of both colleges is utterly awful.
• If you have a good academic record and are good at understanding concepts then do not consider these colleges.
• I believe that you should work on yourself and improve your skills and knowledge to become an engineer.
• You can opt for a drop year and prepare for the JEE Examinations of the following year.
• Study for a minimum of 3-4 months so that you can at least be eligible for admission at a decent institute, better than these two.

Ensure that you have the appropriate knowledge from the 10+2 education, before applying for admission at colleges. I hope that these suggestions would help you in creating better prospects for your career.
