Haldia Institute of Technology is a decent institute. If you are interested in civil engineering then you should rather continue with your preparation for the JEE. I say this based on the conversation I had with my friends from HIT.
Therefore, it is advisable to opt for other colleges in Kolkata for any core branch rather than the Haldia Institute of Technology. If there is a possibility or you believe that you could get into NITs or IITs then go for a year drop to try out your best luck. Otherwise, do not take a risk with it.
Placement for core branches is not good irrespective of which private institute you belong to. So, if you are choosing a private institute make sure that it is in a location from where you can easily take coaching for competitive examinations such as GATE or ESE.
Based on what I heard through my friends at the Haldia Institute of Technology, the institute does not provide students with a laptop. There are several computer labs that are made available to the students to use the services. The professors impart knowledge related to your computer science subjects in these labs. The computer labs are sometimes accessed by non-computer science students as well.
Nevertheless, you are allowed to keep a laptop of your own for personal and academic purposes.
Both MAKAUT and Haldia Institute of Technology are decent engineering colleges and choosing one between the two is a matter of personal preference. In general placement of HIT is better than M. A. K. U. T. The choice also depends on the branch you are getting. If you are inclined towards CS or IT then MAKAUT is a better option but if you want to opt for a core branch then choose colleges like IEM, Heritage, and Techno India Salt Lake. Haldia should be your last preference.
Both Haldia Institute of Technology and JUET Guna are quite similar in terms of the infrastructure they offer, curriculum, and quality of teaching. If you have to pick the best out of two, HIT Haldia weighs slightly more than JUET-Guna.
Following are the few points to back the preference of HIT Haldia:
Categories | Civil at HIT Haldia | Civil at JUET Guna |
Course Fee | 3.95 lakhs | 7.28 lakhs |
Highest CTC | 15 LPA | 12 LPA |
Average CTC | 7-8 LPA | 7-8 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Ambuja Cement, IOCL, L&T, Simplex, etc. | Aricent, L&T, SAP, JK Lakshmi Cement, etc. |
These are a few perks of choosing Haldia institute of technology over JUET Guna. But in the end, it's your preference, so opt for the best for yourself.
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.
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.
Haldia Institute of Technology is a good college with good value for money and lively campus life. It is excellent for the CSE program. However, it is entirely up to you how you utilize it. If you can do self-study and learn new things on your own, you will be very successful in any field.
Nevertheless, most recruiters come to the college for recruitment. Some local startups may also attend, but the package may not be as generous. It is advised that you do not wait for a company and instead go off-campus.
My friend chose Haldia Institute of Technology over IHM Pusa because of its popularity. Choosing a college totally depends on you and by far my friend hadn’t regretted choosing it
If the food, the serving technique, and the interaction with the guests seem attractive to you then without any hesitation choose IHM Pusa.
Moreover, IHM Pusa is the best for hotel management but on the other hand, Haldia Institute of Technology is prominent for CSE.
Make a choice wisely and with all your interest so that you don’t regret it later.
The most expedient girls’ hostel at Haldia Institute of Technology is Begum Ruqaiya. Students refer to it as BR hostel.
It is a first-year hostel for girls. It is a decent hostel that does not make students sacrifice their fun or freedom. However, there are certain strict rules that need to be obeyed. After 7:30 the students are not allowed to leave the hostel. Not following these rules results in serious repercussions.
You can play indoor games as well as badminton till midnight. Befriending new people, bonding with roommates for the four years of your hostel life definitely brings in new surprises and fun.
Even the food is quite edible. Better than the food served in Matangani.
After the end of your first year, you would have to vacate it for your juniors and shift to another hostel that is Matangani.
