One of my friends studied at the Heritage Institute of Technology. According to him, you will be able to use all the equipment in the labs. 

• There is access to transistors, wires, resistors, breadboards, chips, etc. The equipment can also be asked for if they are damaged or lost. 
• The labs are also equipped with the latest technology. However, there is no lab dedicated only to ECE at Heritage. 
• The department of ECE of Heritage boasts of having the best faculty in the state.
• Apart from there, the individual computer centers are used for courses that are based on application and/or software. 
• Labs of other departments such as the Computer and Informatics Center, are where you will undertake courses related to the programming languages like C or JAVA, and DBMS or Database Management. 
• The labs in the EE department will be electrical for the Electrical and Power Electrical courses.

The labs for only specific courses contain equipment that can be necessary for individual domains. Some of these labs are:

• Analog Electronics Lab
• Microwave Lab
• Basic Electronics Lab
• Digital Electronics Lab
• VLSI Lab
• Microprocessor and Microcontroller Lab
• Antenna Practical Lab

You can always count on the quality of the equipment available in the labs. Most of the equipment is new and gathered especially from the Analog Electronics Lab and Digital Electronic Lab. The Wireless/Antenna labs also possess equipment which is sensitive and well maintained. There is a drawback, sadly. The machines in the MicroProcessor Lab were found to be outdated, but they worked fine.

Heritage Institute of Technology is a good private institute if you want to pursue electrical engineering. The placements at Heritage are also good and there is no shortage of candidates looking for admission.

All the branches in Heritage are good. The same goes for the electrical engineering branch. The equipment in the library is well maintained. The environment is also friendly.

The students in the department of CSE get placed the most followed by the students of IT. The students ECE and EE come after them. Placements however are determined by your hard work and dedication.

The faculty at Heritage is arguably one of the best of all the private engineering institutes in West Bengal. So Heritage will prove to be a good choice.

Yes, there is. There will be multiple rounds of training, from the first year, you will get soft skills training, until the beginning of final placements in September of the seventh semester, when the college conducts particularly focused Group Discussion and Personal Interview Training. 

At the starting of the 7th semester, there are special classes organized by the training & placement office of HITK and grooming sessions for getting specific skills that are helpful during placement. Heritage does have a Training and Placement Cell, and based on what I've heard from seniors, they do teach you in your final semesters so that you can succeed in things like Computer Programming, Written Aptitude, GDPI (group discussion and personal interview), and eventually obtain a decent job.

The coding culture of the Heritage Institute of Kolkata is different for different departments. All the departments have different cultures be it CSE, ECE. These departments have a good lab environment available. They have a fun coding culture without stress and deadlines. They don't force a student to learn fast and they focus on concepts rather than deadlines. But it's valid for only the above-mentioned department. 

The coding culture for other departments is not so great. They will teach you more about IT world culture than coding. So, choose your branch/department wisely. 

Heritage Institute of Kolkata is a decent engineering college. However, there are not many good companies that are visiting the campus for the placement drive. Mostly MNCs like TCE, Wipro, and Infosys visit the placement drive for mass recruitment. In the recent placement drive, the average and highest CTC offered were 4 LPA and 16 LPA. 

If a student gets a placement in any of the companies then he/she would not be allowed to sit in the campus placements for the other companies. That means, if a student gets the placement earlier, then they can't apply for any other better companies that come later with the better packages. And you won’t know which company is coming for the placements beforehand. 

The faculty is not up to the mark. Only 2% of the faculty is good, interactive, and friendly. The management of the institute is also not proper. 

Therefore, the Heritage Institute of Technology is better for academics but is not so good for the placements. 

With your rank, it might be not possible to get CSE at the Heritage Institute of Technology. WBJEE Cut off for 2021 closed at 3198 for All-India Quota. Except for CSE, you can get any other branch at HIT or you can wait for further rounds.

Before opting for Heritage, you must know that the fee structure is quite high at the institute. Even if you are financially stable, it might not be a good idea to go there. The academic curriculum is outdated and the environment is not appropriate for engineering.

You will see rich kids joining the college, fashion parades, luxurious cars and etc. There is nothing as such engineering at HIT but only fun. This lavishness is all thriving in the city where there are majorly people who are striving for a job being in their thirties only.

The civil engineering branch or any core branches like mechanical or electrical are good at Heritage Institute of Technology. Some professors are really good and helpful while others are not. Some will teach you by their experience while some will teach you by the core concepts.

It’s the students who make the difference between a good and average college. Unfortunately, Heritage Institute of Technology lags behind in this manner. The placements are not good in core branches and in core companies due to this only. Most of the companies that visit the campus are IT sector companies who take people from any branch in a big lot. TCS is a regular recruiter here and they take more than 500 students in one year itself from this campus alone.

Core companies do visit the campus although in small numbers. But to crack their interviews you need to have a good understanding of your core concepts in your branch which unfortunately not all the students are capable of and thus the recruitment in core branches in core companies is low. However, you will get a job after doing civil engineering from this institute, even though it is just an IT job.

The faculty members are really helpful and a senior of mine is still in contact with them even after graduating from college. The faculties of Heritage Institute of Technology at AEIE (Applied Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering) department are overall average while some are below average too.

• Prof. Samuil Alam is regarded as the best one in Heritage. He is a professor of Microprocessors and microcontrollers. He is very regular and punctual with his classes.
• S. Bagchi was Head of the Department of Instrumentation and Control. He teaches the advanced level for the same subject and knows everything about Instrumentation and control. He is also an accomplished researcher.
• Prof SMC is good too and puts a lot of time and hard work into his teachings.
• Prof SKD is a good teacher for Communication theory as well as practical. He is a great teacher and has a Ph.D. in communication.
• Prof Debjyoti Chowdhury is regarded as the 2nd best teacher after Prof Samuil Alam. He is well known for helping students with their projects in the final year. He works on interesting topics such as self-driving cars and smart fitness trackers.

Some teachers like Prof AKB, DMG are not liked by all due to their rude nature although both of them are highly qualified and accomplished researchers. Thus, the faculty is a mixture of good and average members.

No, it is not compulsory but if you are very much into programming and are a kind of computer geek, you can bring it. If you don’t have a laptop then you can use the computer labs in the university. 

Being a fresher, you must aim high and work accordingly. It is highly recommended to always think big and be creative. Moreover, you should keep a laptop with you so that you can learn and practice on your own laptops.
