Should I prefer IEM Kolkata IT or Heritage institute technology ECE?
IEM Kolkata IT will be comparably better. Although IEM has pretty strict rules in place, it offers better opportunities in terms of academics and placements. According to the stats of recent IEM placements, each year around 90% of students get placed each year from IT. The highest CTC for the branch is INR 40 LPA.
Heritage Institute of Technology is a good option, if you want to pursue research or MS, further.
Should I go for chemical engineering at Heritage Institute of Technology or CSE at Techno India, Salt Lake ?
Heritage Institute of Technology (HIT) is a very popular engineering institute and if you are interested in pursuing Chemical engineering then you should definitely take admission in this college.
- The competition is much less for chemical engineering students and a lot of facilities are available for them.
- There are a lot of placement opportunities available for students and they can easily get a job in both core and IT companies.
- Many students are getting PSU through GATE and some core companies such as BOC, PCBL, Paharpur Cooling towers, Voith Papers, etc. visit the campus for interviews.
- But if you are interested in technology and coding then you should probably choose Techno India as this college provides very good opportunities to CSE students.
- The placements available are very good and top companies such as TCS, Infosys, CTS etc visit the college for interviews.
- The college provides very good facilities and support to teach you coding and if you are really interested in it, then you will be able to master it with your patience and hard work.
- And your coding skills are not determined by your college or branch.
- You should be really passionate about it to be successful in this field.
| Categories | Chemical Engineering at HIT | CSE at Techno India |
| Course Fee | 3.95 lakh | 6.32 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 12-15 LPA | 15-20 LPA |
| Average CTC | 5-6 LPA | 7-8 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | GlaxoSmithKline, Bengal Chemicals, etc. | Wipro, Infosys, Dell, HP, etc. |
Hence, both the colleges are very good with excellent placements and academics and it completely depends on your interests in which branch you would like to study and build your career.
What is the ragging scenario at Heritage institute of technology Kolkata?
There is absolutely no ragging here. During the initial few days of your stay here, the seniors may ask you to give them an “intro” or make you do some random stuff such as sing, dance, etc. They may also ask you to wear formal dresses for a week or two. Otherwise, there is no hardcore form of ragging which you may find in other colleges such as BESU, IIT, NIT, or Jadavpur University.
Can I avail the hostels at Heritage Institute of Technology I live about 20 kms away from there.
Heritage Institute of Technology doesn’t provide an in-campus hostel facility for freshers. But you will get off-campus facilities. For that, you have to approach the senior authority and then you can wait till you get one.
Further, the in-campus hostel facility is also not up to the mark. The hostel at Kalikapur is unnecessarily costly and there is no maintenance. You can face some issues like an improper switchboard, unhygienic toilets, and even food available is not of that good quality. Even authority overlooks this concern.
There is another hostel which is 98 Anandapur and is well maintained and worth the pay. If you are lucky enough to get any room available here you can shift here. If not, you can find a broker and find the room at your convenience near the campus.
Which one should I choose, Aerospace at IIEST or ECE at Heritage Institute of Technology, given that I'm interested in both?
Seeing your interest in both branches, IIEST has a wide scope of diverse cultures and you will find many students from all over the nation.
IIEST Shibpur offers great exposure in terms of academics as well as extra-curricular activities along with the interactive clubs and fun happening fests. It comes under the Government of India and is one of the NIT.
However, Aerospace Engineering is not a trending branch anymore and it was in the limelight a decade ago. To open up more opportunities, you will be required to pursue a Master’s or prepare for the competitive exams to get a decent job.
ECE at Heritage Institute is more prominent but being a private college, it is not up to the mark as compared to Aerospace Engineering. The placement opportunities at HIT are not good. Therefore, all you can do is to opt for IIEST, get a decent aggregate, and change the branch from Aerospace to ECE in the second year.

How is the MTech (CSE) program in Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata? What are the placement stats for an MTech (CSE)?
Heritage Institute of Technology is a very popular and reputed engineering institute and provides very good facilities to its students. According to the reviews online, here’s what I got to know.
- This college is very good to pursue B.Tech in CSE but not a good option to do M.Tech in CSE.
- And this is not only for CS, but for all other departments.
- Although the faculty and the academics are very good in this college, the placements for M.Tech are not upto the mark and it is better not to choose this college to pursue M.Tech.
- To do M.Tech, it will be better to do it from IIT but you will have to appear for GATE exams to get admission in IITs.
- And do note that you will have to be in the top 1000 in GATE to get selected for M.Tech courses at IIT.
- In West Bengal, there is also Jadavpur University which can also be a very good option to pursue M.Tech in CSE.
- You can also appear for the examination PGET and if you can clear this exam, then you will be eligible to take admission in any government engineering college under WBUT.
Hence, instead of taking admission in Heritage Institute of Technology for M.Tech in CSE, it will be better to prepare for GATE exam and qualify for IIT or else take admission in some other better colleges for M.Tech.
