One of my friends got admission to CSE at Heritage in 2017. He got something like 72 to 74 marks in WBJEE 2017 and he got a rank of 5975.

The courses have NAAC and NBA accreditation and are AICTE approved. It is also recognized among the national engineering institutes with 154th NIRF Ranking for Engineering 2020.

The institute witnessed a 100% placement record during the last few years. Most of the students have bagged packages from more than one company. The CSE, ECE, and IT branches have an edge over the other branches in the institute.

The placements statistics (overall) are below:

Usually, grabbing the package in a broader bracket is a cumbersome task. Overall, HIT is the best among all the colleges of any other WBUT.

The fee structure for B.Tech students of Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata is given below for your reference.

• Tuition fee (per semester) – INR 44,000 (1st and 2nd semester), INR 45,100 (3rd and 4th semester), INR 46,200 (5th and 6th semester), and INR 47,300 (7th and 8th semester)
• Admission fee (one-time fee) – INR 5,000
• Library fee (one-time fee) – INR 6,000
• Students’ welfare and sports & games fee (one-time fee) – INR 4,000
• Caution deposit (one-time fee and refundable) – INR 10,000
• University students’ development fee (INR 500 paid yearly to MAKAUT) – INR 2,200 (one-time fee)
• Admission kit (one-time fee) – INR 1,000

Thus the total fee amounts to INR 72,200 when you take admission. Since you would have paid INR 20,000 during counseling, you need to pay an additional amount of INR 52,200 after taking the admission. There is a tuition fee waiver scheme implemented by the college according to which you need not pay the tuition fee. In that case, the fee is INR 28,200 and thus you will need to pay only INR 8,200 after taking admission.

The hostel fee is an additional INR 4,500 per month including the mess if you want to take this facility.

I have a few friends from Heritage Institute of Technology and here is their insight on the management quota admission at the institute. 

According to them, for IT, the management quota fee goes up to 12 lakhs. If you have a decent academic record you can bargain to bring it down to 10-11 lakhs. For ECE, the fees go up to 16 lakhs. 

However, before taking admission at Heritage through management quota you should know that you will not be missing out much if you choose to go to other colleges affiliated with MAKAUT. You will have almost similar placement opportunities and exposure.
