How good is Haldia Institute Of Technology?
Haldia Institute of Technology had a glorious past, marked with excellent placement and achievements of students in various fields. But, at present, it is not in a good state. Considering most reviews, it is not an institute recommended for students.
The points below give a brief overview of the institute:
- There are reviews about Haldia Institute of Technology stating its huge campus and great campus life. But, when placement is concerned, students are mostly unsuccessful in getting their dream jobs.
- Considering the past success rate of students, most of them received no support from the college in their hard work. There was no contribution of the institute in its placement, and the alumni would have achieved their goals elsewhere too.
- The training and placement cell is not at all dedicated to their work of pitching various companies to conduct recruitment drives in the institute.
- The labs are in a bad condition and had a lack of necessary equipment in them. The institute focuses on beautifying the campus with plants and decorations, rather than investing in building proper machinery for technical works.
- The brightest students of branches like CSE and IT are placed in mass recruiting companies like TCS and Wipro, which clears the fact that placements are lacking.
The points above may be disappointing for new aspirants, but this is the truth. There are several much better institutes which candidates should opt for. You should go to colleges in big cities, which usually have better exposure, surrounded by corporations.
You can use their free time a lot better in those institutes, developing their skill set. Even though the core branches in HIT can be somewhat considered, CSE and IT are not at all recommended.
What's wrong with Haldia Institute of Technology?
My brother is a recent graduate from Haldia Institute of Technology and as per his experience, there are many things that should not happen at the institute, the way they are happening right now.
- According to the placement statistics, the percentage of students placed from the institute through on-campus recruitment drives is only 50%.
- Haldia Institute faces difficulty in connecting with mass recruiting firms like TCS, Accenture, Wipro, for on-campus recruitment of the students enrolled in the various UG and PG programs at the institute.
- The teaching style followed by most of the faculty members is quite degressive and they should learn some new tactics to make the studies more engaging.
- The administration and concerned authorities do not maintain proper relations with the alumni of the institute which would surely prove to be disadvantageous for the institute in the long run.
These were a few of the aspects about the Haldia Institute of Technology that were considered to be wrong. The institute should work upon these aspects for the betterment of students.
How is Haldia Institute of Technology good for CSE?
One of my friends completed his B.tech from the Haldia Institute of technology so, it would be easy for me to answer your question.
- Among all the colleges in West Bengal, Haldia Institute of Technology has the best campus life. Moreover, the hostel life is one such life that everyone should experience.
- If you are good at extracurricular activities, then this college has a lot to provide. An annual tech fest is organized at campus.
- Being a state-level engineering college, you shouldn’t expect a lot from it. You may not receive well-furnished labs and all sorts of comfort which includes average teachers.
- Placement opportunities are also decent with job roles in reputed IT companies. Even if you are an average student in your studies, you will get a campus placement.
You can experience a diverse college environment as you will see every type of student on the campus. At the end of the day, it’s on you, how you really want to be and which group really suits you.
How is the CSE department at Haldia Institute of Technology? What about its faculty and placement in recent times?
Haldia Institute of Technology will be of no help to you if you dream to be the best at coding and be proud of yourself as a CSE graduate in the future.
- When it comes to placement, it is good. But, if you consider your learning and look at the knowledge that you acquire in four years, you will not be satisfied.
- Teaching is an art and most of the teachers lack this art at HIT. And, the rest are average. One of my friends attended HIT. During his time, the algorithm which is one of the most important topics was taught by a well-qualified professor. But, due to a lack of the art of teaching, the students lost interest in the subject.
- Lab classes are under par. The lab assistant throws tantrums as if he is the dean of the college. Also, most of the teachers are alumni of the college. You won’t find the academic environment very encouraging.
- No exposure. Even if it has been more than 15 years of the establishment of the college, it has failed to foresee Wipro, TCS, Infosys, CTS, and Tech Mahindra. This is quite unfair to the students who deserve more.
- The CSE department has talented students but the teachers, who shape these minds don’t put in the required effort.
Despite all these, the students have made it to fortune 500 companies such as SAP Labs, Broadcom, Intel Security, Manhattan Associates. All the credits go to their hark-work and sheer determination.
College gives you a degree, it is you who with your hard work and determination, will make a great CSE graduate.

According to my friends studying at Haldia Institute of Technology, yes there is a uniform code. You may feel a bit disappointed after knowing that you will have to wear a uniform to go to college, but the uniform keeps on changing.
- Earlier the uniform was changed every 4 years but now there are three different uniforms for freshers, 2nd & 3rd year and for the seniors.
- The dress code for 4th-year students is navy blue pants with blue & white stripes shirts along with a tie.
- For 2nd & 3rd year students, the dress code is black pants with red + deep blue + yellowish cream-colored striped shirt along with a tie.

What is management quota fees in Haldia Institute Technology for CSE?
Information regarding management quota fees is not disclosed by the institute. However, according to some of my friends who acquired admissions in the institute through it, the fees of management quota are around 2 lacs- 2.5 lacs.
The management quota fees are dependent on your negotiator, agent, consultant too. The above-mentioned amount does not include the hostel fees. It is at the time of college fees payment that the students are required to pay the hostel fees. You should consult with your seniors as they have a better knowledge regarding such matters. Although they would suggest that it would be a waste of money.
If you are interested in software, only then you should take admission at Bangalore. A few esteemed software companies such as Wipro, Infosys, etc. visit for the recruitment process.
The chemical branch at the institute is terrific. You should look into this course once as well. Your decision is concerned with building your career therefore make sure you opt for a course that would not make you have regrets later.
