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 would be far better for your career than B.P.Poddar, in terms of educational facilities and campus infrastructure. The environment is good and the members of the faculty are helpful and nice. 

I have visited both of these colleges and am familiar with them. If you want to have a fantastic college experience, Heritage would prove to be the best choice for you.

It could be a bit pricey if you use Management Quota. However, HIT offers good placement for CSE. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC offered at the institute was 4 LPA and the highest was 16 LPA. 

The only deciding factor whether you will get a seat at Heritage Institute of Technology through WBJEE solely depends on your score JEE Mains scorecard.

Here is the first round cut-off 2021 for Heritage Institute of Technology. 

This should give you an idea about the cutoff required at the Heritage Institute of Technology. 

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.

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.

It will be hard to get any branch at Heritage Institute of Technology with a rank of 80176 in WBJEE. Here are the 2021 cutoff trends for Heritage. 

It’s better if you start your preparation for next year by dropping a year. Aim for a rank below 10000. One of my friends took a year drop last year and jumped from 77000 ranks to below 8000. If he can do it, you can also do it. It is not impossible.

However, if you do not want to take a drop and anyhow want to take admission at Heritage then there is a management quota to help you out.

Heritage Institute of Kolkata is a decent engineering college. However, there are not many good companies that are visiting the campus for the placement drive. Mostly MNCs like TCE, Wipro, and Infosys visit the placement drive for mass recruitment. In the recent placement drive, the average and highest CTC offered were 4 LPA and 16 LPA. 

If a student gets a placement in any of the companies then he/she would not be allowed to sit in the campus placements for the other companies. That means, if a student gets the placement earlier, then they can't apply for any other better companies that come later with the better packages. And you won’t know which company is coming for the placements beforehand. 

The faculty is not up to the mark. Only 2% of the faculty is good, interactive, and friendly. The management of the institute is also not proper. 

Therefore, the Heritage Institute of Technology is better for academics but is not so good for the placements.
