Only recently, one of my friends secured admission at Heritage Institute of Technology after attempting for admission at Calcutta Institute of Engineering and Management. Given his situation, it is safe to say that the issue shall be considered the same even if you arrive from Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology. 

Following his visit to Heritage Institute of Technology, IEM and Techno India Salt lake, he opted to take admission at the former. The institute rather mentioned that their reporting session was completed, however, if there was a following vacancy and if the student could fulfill the criteria of the branch, then the institute would directly approach them for further admission processes. 

It is best that you extract similar information from the administration office to have appropriate knowledge about the same. 

There are three ways you can get admission to the Heritage Institute of Technology. Which are as follows. 

• Counseling based on JEE Main rank.
• Counseling based on WBJEE rank.
• By direct admission through management quota.

One of my friends got admission to HIT in Mechanical Engineering through JEE Mains. His rank was 58k, and he was almost the last candidate for JEE Mains quota. 

With a rank of 75k, you may get branches like Biotechnology but you are not likely to get into branches like CSE. 

So, wait for the WBJEE counseling to begin. HIT gives more admission through WBJEE.

HIT is among the top engineering colleges in West Bengal, affiliated with MAUKAT. The institute is awarded as the Most Preferred Engineering Institute of 2020.

One of my friends, an alumnus of the college, reviewed that the faculty is excellent. They are highly qualified and carry ample industry experience. Most of them are doctorates and well-known in their field of study.

At his time, the discussions about the facility happened in Macha, the cafeteria of the college. The best professor that he was under was Mr. Nirmaan Ganguly (NG sir). He was the best among all the other professors. Apart from him, the others include Mr. Amitava Hatilal of the electrical department and Mr. Parth sir in the computer science department.

These were the few teachers from the past whom he could recall even after five years of graduating.

It will be hard to get any branch at Heritage Institute of Technology with a rank of 80176 in WBJEE. Here are the 2021 cutoff trends for Heritage. 

It’s better if you start your preparation for next year by dropping a year. Aim for a rank below 10000. One of my friends took a year drop last year and jumped from 77000 ranks to below 8000. If he can do it, you can also do it. It is not impossible.

However, if you do not want to take a drop and anyhow want to take admission at Heritage then there is a management quota to help you out.

Yes, you will be able to build up your profile appropriately at Heritage Institute of Technology. If you are interested in Antenna Theory and Microelectronics then, this could be a precious opportunity for you as they have their own IEE EDS Chapter. 

Most of the lecturers are quite disciplined about organizing a research paper for students and if you’ll be a bit serious about your course then there are high chances of your paper being published. 

Moreover, there were many seniors of my friend who gone abroad and some made up to Pen State. 

I have a few friends from the Heritage Institute of Technology and according to them, if you belong to the CSE department, JAVA, C, and C++ are taught. You can opt for additional subjects like AI wherein you will be taught Prolog. JAVA, C, C++ are taught in other branches as well.

Having said that, you can learn any coding language on campus if you are interested. The coding culture at the campus is great. You will find many gifted coders there who can help you learn. You can also learn coding languages from open source platforms like Udamy, Coursera, geeks for geeks, etc. 

Heritage Institute of Technology has a two-day orientation program called COMPASS which usually happens in the last few days of July. 

• There will be some lectures, professors’ introductions, etc. which honestly are really boring in the auditorium at the Central Block.
• The seniors are really helpful contrary to what you may find in many other engineering colleges. 
• Ragging is completely absent from the campus and the seniors will actually help you during your first few days. They may ask for your introduction or have a general conversation to lighten you up 

You might be asked to wear formal dresses, not to wear any belts, ties, watches, etc. for a month. The institute has a student-friendly environment and you will love your experience there.

This might sound weird but there are better colleges available with your rank. Most importantly, Heritage Institute of Technology won't admit you to any of the branches with 22,000 GMR. Hop onto the next best option because there's much more to life than a college.

Another great option would be Techno India, Salt Lake. It is a wonderful college, amazing with placements, and has an ultra-modern infrastructure. The location is advantageous as well when compared to HITs. Also, you'll get the Mechanical or the Civil Department there.

Regarding donations, I do not think there is such a process, nor would I support it if I knew. Work on your scores, get selected based on merit as it will be more helpful throughout your life. 

Any college will be great if you are hard-working, so in the end, it boils down to you, college is what you make of it. 

HIT Kolkata is a famous engineering college affiliated with MAUKAT. It has been ranked 154th in the NIRF Ranking for Engineering 2020. 

According to the facts I got to know from the internet -The college became autonomous in 2012, on the recommendation of UGC by the West Bengal University of Technology (now MAUKAT). 

One of the friends who graduated from HIT in 2015 reviewed that it did not affect their batch. The students affected by the change were those who took admission in 2012 or after. It is better to ask the alumni who studied during 2012. They will be able to give a brief about the big changes that happened in the curriculum.

Overall, the autonomous status provides elasticity in the curriculum and teaching methods.
