How is the mechanical department at Haldia Institute of Technology, and what about placement?

Haldia Institute of Technology is the first private engineering college for Mechanical Engineering. It is considered as one of the best 10 branches in the institute. 

Nowadays, HIT is not offering good teaching methods in mechanical engineering due to a lack of good faculty members. The lab facilities are very good and well-equipped with the latest technologies like IC Engine, Thermal, Production, Manufacturing, Mechanism, Metrology, and welding labs.

One of the main factors here is the placement records. The placement for the core branches is not that good. Only a few percent of the students get packages above 11 LPA. The majority of the students end up with packages near about 5 to 7 lakhs per annum. The remaining students receive packages up to 3 lakhs per annum.

Recent placement status: -

• 10 LPA or more - 6 students (HPL)
• 8 to 10 LPA - 11 students (Infosys, Wipro)
• 5 to 7 LPA - 23 students (Topcem)
• 3 to 5 LPA - 79 students

The preparation for GATE is the best part as students get a lot of time and help from the institute.
