Honestly, this is not even a comparison. VIT (any campus) is way better than Heritage Institute of Technology. Actually, Heritage Institute of Technology is not even the best college in the Kolkata region. It is the Institute of Engineering and Management (IEM).

Heritage Institute of Technology is obviously cheaper than VIT to study and also closer to your home if you are from the eastern region of India. You will get a job after graduating with a starting salary of around INR 3.5 lakhs per annum. If you have financial constraints and you are ok with this kind of starting salary then Heritage Institute of Technology will not disappoint you.

However, if you are well enough to pay for the fee of VIT, then in no way you should even think of Heritage Institute of Technology. The environment you will get there are obviously the placements of VIT are way better than Heritage Institute of Technology to even consider them for comparison.

HIT is the lucrative college choice for students as it is the Most Preferred Engineering Institute of 2020. It is a B++ grade institute by NAAC.

• HIT offers specializations in CSE, AEIE, BT, CE, ChE, IT, ME, ECE, and EE. 
• The best branch among all these branches is considered CSE. 
• There is 100% placement, and the faculty is top-notch. 
• ECE and IT offer a 90% placement percentage. 
• The top recruiters of the institute are Wipro Technologies, IBM, Cognizant Technologies Solutions, Philips Carbon Black, HDFC Bank Ltd, Avery India, TCS, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, and others.

In all other streams, the faculties of the institute are excellent, but the placements are poor. In the core branches, a maximum of 50-60% of students get placed from campus.

Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata has a very good faculty for Electrical Engineering, probably the best in West Bengal. It has a very friendly environment which will aim to give you very promising college life.

This stream has been somewhat a new introduction to the institute. So in its early years, there was uncertainty in the placements. EE department fell short of the CSE, ECE, IT, AEIE. A lot of the graduates did not get placements by the end of their course.

In the last placement season, the highest package offered to the students was INR 16 LPA and the average package was INR 4 LPA. The top recruiters were TCS, Honda, Infosys, Wipro, etc.

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. 

You will have to look for PGs that you will like. You will find a lot of PGs in Hussainpur that is near Anandapur Police Station and at RR (Refugees Rehabilitation) Plot Housing Complex. With the brokers that are available, you will be provided the facilities for affordable prices. Get in touch with your peers and seniors. They are very friendly and helpful.

Kalikapur is also a very good place to look for PGs. You will find city buses available in your area quite easily.

Yes, colleges like Heritage Institute of Technology ultimately exist in the long run because these colleges train the students to tackle the corporate world and to work professionally. They already have an idea of the competitive world after college life. These students make their college proud and always carry forward the college name in the long run. 

The administration of Heritage is also quite hardworking and they are constantly working to make 

As one of my friends studied in Heritage Institute of Technology, I am able to share some of the facts, which you may find useful. 

In cases alike, there are two possible scenarios to take into account. 

First Scenario:

• If you have not yet paid the admission fee amounting INR 72,000 but have alternatively paid the WBJEE counselling fee, amounting to INR 20,000; then you have the chance of not further opting to take admission in the college. 
• By simply filling out a form available exclusively in the WBJEE website, you can notify your present circumstance and can definitely secure the amount of INR 20,000 back into your bank account, only after the counselling session is completed. 
• Post the form after you complete filling it up, and in about 3 to 4 months, you will be credited with the money you spent.

Second Scenario:

• If you have paid both the admission fees, alongside the counselling fees, amounting INR 72,000 and INr 20,000 respectively; then it is quite predictable that you will not secure any amount back. 
• However, it is best that you still have a brief conversation with the staff in the CME office, or the main administrative building, as per your requirements.

In any case whatsoever, have a talk with the authorities of the institute. Partially, the decision that is supposed to be confirmed also depends upon the management of the college. In some cases, they possibly also deduct a reasonable amount and return the rest.

According to my friends from Heritage, 50% of your internal marks depend on your attendance. So, your attendance plays a significant role in your internal marks. Viva is conducted by the teachers as a part of the internal. Scoring good marks only in the end-semester examination will not help you in scoring a high GPA, you will have to score good marks in internal exams as well. If you have a good attendance record, you might get grace marks as well.

Since it is an autonomous institute, you will have to attend the classes. It does not matter whether you like the classes or not otherwise you will not get good internal marks. This is why there is a 60% mandatory attendance criterion.

Both colleges are on par with one other in terms of faculty and academics. Both, Haldia Institute of Technology and Heritage Institute of Technology are approved by AICTE and private universities located in West Bengal. But if you are passionate about chemical engineering, aim for IITs.

Both colleges offer Bachelors in Technology in Chemical Engineering. Discussed below are some details about the Chemical Engineering courses offered by these two institutes. 

About 7-8 years ago, all or most of the current faculty of the Heritage Institute of Technology used to be part of the Haldia institute of technology. So there is no big difference in the degrees offered by these two institutes. You only get different degree certificates from HIT and MAKAUT.

Above all, it is suggested to prepare for JEE so that you can choose a better or equivalent institute to IIT. Because college name matters.

For reaching that level, a lot of hard work would be required from the students, faculty and the administration. It takes time to achieve success. 

• More involvement in innovation and regular curriculum research can also go a long way. 
• Enhancing the quality of the environment is also a big step in the right direction.
• An autonomous institute gets the right to make their own question papers and update the contents of its syllabus. 
• A more organized structure of the course is very likely. 
• There is also hope that the quality of checking of the papers will also go up.
• Placements determine the status of an institute so that it can attract more and more candidates. 
• A lot of the students of CSE in HIT have become interested in getting publications. 
• More stress can be laid on activities that are pertaining to research.

Like it has been said, improvements do not happen overnight. And it hardly ever does well when we compare ourselves with others, HIT can move forward at its own pace and it will succeed in its endeavors eventually.
