For the Computer Science and Information Technology departments:
The number of product-based companies visiting HIT-K is very low when compared to Jadavpur and Shibpur university (current IIEST), but it is higher than other colleges under WBUT.
1) Digital Dynamic Technology (R & D of Polaris networks).
2) Nomura Institute of Research
3) Yodlee Information Technology
Because all of the companies mentioned above are small, their intake is limited at times.
If you want to excel, you can start doing projects under different professors, there is a coding club, and they have recently started organizing monthly coding contests on Hackerrank.
Make connections with seniors who are already working in product-based companies and try to get internships through referrals. You should not wait until the third year to start an internship; learn C/C++/Java, DS, and Algo and you'll be ready to start an internship at any product-based company. Microsoft held an off-campus event, but it does not count because it occurred only once.
In terms of the CTC, it is determined by the year and the organization.
The cutoff varies from year to year. It is highlighted in the following data:
Course | General | SC | ST | TFW |
Computer Science Engineering | 349-2877 | 6740 | 8229 | 1095-3214 |
Chemical Engineering | 991-8959 | 12098 | 73158 | 4577-6116 |
Mechanical Engineering | 1267-7986 | 10548 | 38299 | 5132-6922 |
Civil Engineering | 1294-9790 | 13076 | 57285 | 6981-9740 |
Electronics & Communication Engineering | 1699-4960 | 8814 | 29889 | 3258-4618 |
Electrical Engineering | 2078-5980 | 11133 | 33361 | 5269-5470 |
Information Technology | 2900-3642 | 6894 | 39605 | 3467-3532 |
Applied Electronics and Instrumentation | 4427-8330 | 12505 | 75981 | 5404-7323 |
Biotechnology | 4928-12233 | 13245 | - | 7218-8923 |
Cutoffs also depend on the streams you want to pursue.
Heritage Institute of Technology doesn’t lag behind IEM. It is among the top private technological institutes in the region. In terms of academics and placements, Heritage is top-notch. Reputed companies such as Tata Advanced Systems, Google, Amazon, etc. take part in the campus placements of the institute. Heritage Institute of Technology placements 2022 witnessed the highest CTC of INR 44 LPA.
Among both these institutes it will be better if you go for ECE at Heritage Institute of Technology (HIT) than CE at Mizoram University (MZU).
Categories | ECE at Heritage Institute of Technology | CE at Mizoram University |
Course Fee | INR 4.04 LPA | INR 6.85 lakh |
Placement Percentage | 70-80% | 50-60% |
Highest CTC | 28 LPA | 10 LPA |
Average CTC | 8-10 LPA | 3-5 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | TCS, Accenture, Cognizant, HCL, etc. | TCS, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, Infosys, etc. |
Therefore, as HIT provides such better opportunities for students it is recommended that you go for it rather than choosing MZU.
Heritage institute of technology is ranked at 154th position in the engineering category by NIRF whereas UEM is ranked at 96th position in the same category by TOI 2020. Heritage offers 9 specializations in B.Tech and UEM has 12. Biotechnology is one of them. Top recruiters at the institutes for the course are the food and beverage industry, laboratories, and pharmaceutical companies.

UEM- In UEM almost all the students get 2-3 job offers.
Heritage Institute of Technology- It has a placement rate of 78%.
Both UEM and Heritage Institute of Technology are reputed colleges in Kolkata and offer decent academics and placement opportunities for BTech in Biotechnology. As for which institute is better, you should be the one to decide that.
No, it is not compulsory but if you are very much into programming and are a kind of computer geek, you can bring it. If you don’t have a laptop then you can use the computer labs in the university.
Being a fresher, you must aim high and work accordingly. It is highly recommended to always think big and be creative. Moreover, you should keep a laptop with you so that you can learn and practice on your own laptops.
The average package that gets offered at Heritage Institute of Technology varies from batch to batch with the minimum to a maximum salary ranging in between INR 2.5 Lakhs per annum to around INR 10 Lakhs per annum. The average salary package is roughly around INR 3–4 Lakhs per annum. Some of the major recruiters for Mechanical Engineering at HIT were HPL, Linde India, Infosys, Wipro, etc.
The package you are offered mostly depends on how you create your profile, which includes your grades, internships, and projects. I am confident that you will receive a decent payout after considering all of these factors at the end of the four years of your program.
This might sound weird but there are better colleges available with your rank. Most importantly, Heritage Institute of Technology won't admit you to any of the branches with 22,000 GMR. Hop onto the next best option because there's much more to life than a college.
Another great option would be Techno India, Salt Lake. It is a wonderful college, amazing with placements, and has an ultra-modern infrastructure. The location is advantageous as well when compared to HITs. Also, you'll get the Mechanical or the Civil Department there.
Regarding donations, I do not think there is such a process, nor would I support it if I knew. Work on your scores, get selected based on merit as it will be more helpful throughout your life.
Any college will be great if you are hard-working, so in the end, it boils down to you, college is what you make of it.
One of my friends is an alumnus of the ECE department at Heritage Institute of Technology. Here is what he had to say about the faculties of the department.
Dr. Prabir Banerjee, Dr. Anindya Sen, Dr. Sambhu Nath Biswas, Dr. Sayantan Dhar, Dr. Shounak Dasgupta, Dr. Srabanti Pandit, Dr. Kasturi Mukherjee, Dr. Mousiki Kar, and Dr. Soumyo Chatterjee are all excellent mentors if you wish to go into the field of researching.
Not everyone who excels in research also excels in teaching, but some do, and some are absolutely exceptional.
Professors will be intra-departmental, whether you are a student enrolled in an undergraduate or a postgraduate program. Your Professors will be extremely important throughout the fourth year of your undergraduate program at Heritage.
Make sure you get connected with someone who can assist you in completing your Projects. The Final Year Project will be one of the most crucial tasks for an MS or MBA after your undergraduate education, or for an off-campus job application. Choosing prudently and, most importantly, having a doctorate to assist you will go a long way.
