The present scenario of the Computer Science and Engineering department at Haldia Institute is a bit better in comparison with that of the other departments. 

• Out of all the departments, the institute witnesses the maximum placement from the CSE department. 
• Almost every year, around 3-4 service-based companies visit the campus of the Institute for the recruitment of students. 
• These On-campus placement drives are organized by the institute. 
• Firms like TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Tech Mahindra visit the campus for recruitment purposes. 
• Approximately 200 students out of 400-450 get recruited for various job profiles by reputed firms every year. 
• Additionally, you would also have the option to appear for pool campus recruitment rounds, but it would not help you if you do not possess extraordinary skills in the domain of Computer Science. 
• Few BPO companies also visit the campus of the institute to recruit suitable candidates through on-campus recruitment drives. 
• The data mentioned above may vary on an annual basis based on the status of the IT market. 

Overall, the placement percent for the CS department ranges between 50 to 70 percent. If you get enrolled in the CSE department, the chances of you getting recruited by a reputable company would significantly be better than the other departments. 

One of my friends was a student of the Haldia Institute of Technology and as she was from Delhi, she had to opt for the hostel. As much as I remember she had no problem with the hostel facilities but there were a few non-major issues she had. 

• She wasn’t much habitual of living away from her family so she wasn’t comfortable with the food of the hostel as the taste wasn’t much homely. 
• Besides this, the hostel is well-constructed and the rooms are well-maintained with moderate bathrooms.
• Moreover, you will be provided with the laundry facilities which is quite helpful. 
• Apart from this, the main concern for parents remains the security of their children. For this, the university has provided high security in the hostel. This includes the round-the-clock security guards plus the warden which keeps a good record of the students’ in and out time. 
• You will have to follow in and out time properly. Failing to do so, the warden may call your guardians and that may be a blunder to you. The timings for students’ in time is 7:30 pm and you have to stick to it anyhow. 

Therefore, the hostels are quite amazing with all the security you’d as for. 

You can get your admission fee back as a refund after giving a proper application to step down from the admission process. Haldia Institute of Technology also follows this. 

It’s just a matter of how much time it is going to take. You need to keep documents like the receipt for the first semester, clearance certificate, and ID proof handy with you. These documents can be submitted to the finance or the accounts office of the Institute.

This process can be done online too. Since last year Haldia Institute of Technology has been transferring back the refund for the admission fee through NEFT. The transfer mostly happens on the same day when the refund application is submitted. 

It must be noted that the college will deduct an amount of 2000 Rupees as admission processing fees.

Well, according to the information I have received from my friends enrolled in both the institutes, I would say that both of these institutes are not that good. 

• The teaching methodologies used are extremely bad, and the alumni network of both colleges is utterly awful.
• If you have a good academic record and are good at understanding concepts then do not consider these colleges.
• I believe that you should work on yourself and improve your skills and knowledge to become an engineer.
• You can opt for a drop year and prepare for the JEE Examinations of the following year.
• Study for a minimum of 3-4 months so that you can at least be eligible for admission at a decent institute, better than these two.

Ensure that you have the appropriate knowledge from the 10+2 education, before applying for admission at colleges. I hope that these suggestions would help you in creating better prospects for your career.

All three colleges, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, Techno India Salt Lake Sector V, and Haldia Institute of Technology are very popular colleges to pursue ECE. After careful consideration, I would say that Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE) is the best among the others mentioned.

• Dayananda Sagar is now an autonomous college and there are a lot of facilities available for the students. 
• The placement opportunities available are excellent. Many reputed companies visit the campus for interviews. Being located in Bangalore, it has a location advantage. 
• Industry visits, seminars, and internships are plenty. This can be a very good opportunity to gain some work experience and knowledge. 

Hence, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering is a better college than Techno India and HIT as it offers better placements and facilities to the students. Also, as the college is in Bangalore and staying there could be expensive. The living expenses and travel costs are extremely higher than usual. So prepare accordingly.

You should go for IT at Techno India, Salt Lake as it is better than Haldia Institute in all factors. Being located in an IT hub gives it a huge advantage in terms of exposure and opportunities.

The faculty members are average and highly qualified. Most importantly, the placement record at Techno India is great than Haldia. Staying in Kolkata will help you in taking coaching or internship opportunities. The academic structure for the IT branch is better here.

However, the infrastructure is much better at Haldia than Techno India. But it is still suggested to choose Techno India Salt Lake for IT. You can change your stream after 1st semester if you want to study CSE.

Instead of trying to change your branch through donation, you should rather earn that place for yourself through your marks. If you have maintained a CGPA of 8.5 and above in your 1st and 2nd semester then you would be easily able to change your branch in the 3rd semester. This CGPA is a minimum criterion for switching branches.

If you are willing to change your branch to Mechanical Engineering or Civil then you would definitely have to step up your score game as there are plenty of students with a CGPA of around 8.5. One with the highest marks is generally given more preference in changing their branch at Haldia Institute of Technology.

The rankings depend on the recently produced cut off by the institute, so as to process admission. By the rank you have secured, it is quite apparent that you can get an admission seat for the Biotechnology branch. 

Here is a breakdown of the cut-off (opening and closing) recently produced by the institute.

However, at times, it can take you until the last round to get shortlisted. In any case, it is generally difficult for a general student to acquire admission at Heritage Institute of Technology with a rank of 20,000. But, it is best that you still research more about the latest cut-off trends.
