Complete College Review

The curriculum and syllabus here are quite similar to those of competitive exams such as the GATE exam, ISRO or DRDO exams, or PSU exams. This allows students to prepare for competitive exams while also focusing on their regular studies. College exams are generally quite easy, as most questions are drawn from the previous year's tests or assignments.

Generally, in the 7th semester, students sit for placement.

Hostels' infrastructure is not very good and the quality of mess food depends on which hostel you are living some hostels have very good food quality and some have very bad. Girls and first-year boys hostel is on the east campus and the remaining hostels are on the west campus. A lot of PGs and flat rooms are available near the college almost everyone can get any PG or flat and private mess is also available near the college for PG students.

I had applied to NITs where I was offered a seat, but I received a lower branch at the top NIT and a top branch at a lower NIT due to my low rank in the JEE. Therefore, I chose HBTU, Kanpur, as it has a better alumni network compared to the lower NITs. I didn't get into IIT because I couldn't qualify for the subject-wise cutoff in chemistry. Admission to HBTU can be obtained through the JEE score card; applicants must apply via the HBTU website, as HBTU does not participate in JOSAA counseling.

Faculty-to-student ratio is 1:80 (it may vary from branch to branch). Generally, all professors are easily approachable. One can go cabin of professors to ask their doubts or take future guidance, etc. There are three exams in each semester, 2 mid-semester and 1 end semester. The semester consists of 15 marks each, and the end semester consists of 50 marks. And 20 marks are from internal (which is provided by faculty based on the performance of students). Students receive grades based on this only (15+15+50+20=100)

There are four canteens and one cafeteria open late at night on the east campus of our college. The gym is located on the west campus. The hostel and campus hours are from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM. The east campus is situated in the Nawabganj market, so every type of shop and restaurant is available nearby.
