The University of Calcutta is a self-governing or autonomous institution, while Kalyani Government Engineering College is governed by MAKAUT. The various departments of the CU have a better reputation among the student communities of India.

• The potential that the University of Calcutta has for the CSE department can prove to be extremely beneficial for your career. 
• The course is structured in a research-oriented manner that can help prepare the students for any job interview after the completion of the course. 
• During the 4 years for which you get enrolled in the CSE department of CU, you will acquire a sufficient amount of knowledge and skills necessary to clear almost any type of job interview. 
• Most of the students at the University prefer to go abroad for research purposes. 
• In universities abroad, the degree that you would acquire from CU would hold high importance among your batch mates. 
• The CSE department has many affiliations with foreign universities that can help you in securing a seat for admission easily for your research along with a scholarship hopefully. 

It’s totally up to you whether you wish to enroll in a world-renowned University like CU or you want to study at a state-funded college which in this case is KGEC. 

If you solely consider studies as the basis of the selection of an institute for your career, I don't believe there will be much of a difference. 

• The chief difference arises because the colleges were established at different times. 
• As time goes on, new clubs emerge at institutes that improve with time, the festival improves, and norms and culture unique to the college change over a period of time. 
• Because CU's engineering programs are newer, they may have certain disadvantages for several fields. 
• You may claim that you are unconcerned about everything other than your academics, but once you enroll in a college, you will realize how vital everything is. 
• Kalyani College does have a far larger student body than CU, you will have a diverse group of students in your batch. 

Also remember, that usually everyone despises their own university no matter how good or bad it in reality is. You surely would not want a gloomy college experience. So do your homework before deciding on an institution.

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.

• 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.

• 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.
