Absolutely worthy to join this college as it has a nice network.
Placements: ThisThis branch is new, so the first placement will be there in 2028. Professors are trying their best for our placements as our college is also organising national meetings with other IITs and colleges in the department of pharmaceutical and biological sciences.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is good and present all over campus. Food is good, and we can decide the menu by talking to our mess secretary. We can also add or subtract food items from the menu if people agree with us. The canteen is average, as we get normal things like samosas and parathas.
Faculty: Teachers are always there to help us. The course curriculum is old, as we are studying the same things studied by our seniors for more than 20 years, which is not a good thing. Semester exams are hard for those who do not study because mostly students study 1 night before exams, which is not good.
Other: I chose this course because it is new but has big opportunities in the future, as science is developing faster than anyone can think.

The best college in Uttar Pradesh after the IIT.
Placements: The college is best for the lower branch and core branches also because it offers a very high placement in the lower branches like Leather, Civil, Textile, and Engineering. The preparing companies like Google and Microsoft are highly top-notch companies that come here for the requirement of the students who are highly skilled. The average package last year is 30 LPA and the highest package is 69 LPA (off campus), both were recorded as off campus.
Infrastructure: There are several facilities in the hostels. There are separate hostels for girls and boys, in which facilities of mess and very variety of food and cultural diversity are also seen. Many students in Kanpur are from Kanpur itself as it offers a very good rate of interest to students.
Faculty: When the course started from the semester starts in July, in which first CTR is held in the month of September or August, and NMM is also held in January and February. The teachers are highly skilled and they have very great knowledge in their industries. They are highly skilled and have a large experience in the department. The teachers are also very helpful and of very kind nature.
Other: The total fees of the college is 1,63,000, in which the students are offered several facilities, including hostel, girls’ life at night, and many programmes, cultural activities, tours and travel, etc.

Review of HBTU (one of the top state universities).
Placements: Around 76% students were placed last year. The highest package was 36 LPA, and the lowest went around 1.5 LPA, while the average was 8 LPA. The top recruiting companies were TCS, Samsung, IBM, Adani, Cognizant, Nestled, asian paints, HCL, indian oil, Reliance, Wipro, Flipkart, Amazon, Berger Paints, ExxonMobil, Hero Motocorp, Optum, Honeywell and SRF Limited. From my course of CSE, around 20% got internships from companies like Google, Adobe, Amazon, samsung r&d, TCS, IBM, Paytm, Optum, Byju's, etc. The top roles offered in my course (CSE) are software development engineer, design engineer, data analyst, cloud engineer, graduate engineer, project engineer, ui/ux designer, etc.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my department is quite old and needs renovation. Wi-Fi is available with good speed throughout the campus. If I talk about the library, it is well-maintained and you can get almost all books and journals from here. The quality of rooms in the hostel is average, and you'll get double and triply seated rooms in 1st, 2nd and 3rd year, while in the final year, you will get a personal single room for sure. The quality of the mess food is average, but it degrades as time passes.
Faculty: The teachers in HBTU are highly qualified and helpful, while you'll find a bunch of faculty members in HBTU who are very rude and get offended very easily. Overall, the teaching quality is great. The curriculum needs to be improved as soon as possible. It doesn't actually make you industry-ready. The exams are quite easy here, you can easily score marks and a good CG just by studying the day before the exam.
Other: I chose this course because of my interest in CSE, and it was the best possible option at my JEE Main rank. The quality of labs could be improved in my course, as the proper computers and components are not available here. The college has events around March-April, hosting 3 major fests. The campus crowd is overall good, you'll find most Kanpur locals here. It has good connectivity as it is located in the middle of the city. It provides all the scholarships; the only requirement is that you are eligible for them.

HBTU is a decent college with a long history and also good recognition in Uttar Pradesh.
Placements: In my course, food technology, the placement is quite good. There are 19 students in the final, and all are placed, so we can say that placement is 100% this year, and the average package is 6.5 Lacs, and the highest is 9 Lacs. The top recruiting companies are Valency, Patanjali, Adani Wilmar, jk food, Jubilent Food and many more.
Infrastructure: Library in HBTU is very nice. Fully air-conditioned and have the best infrastructure. But the infrastructure of hostels on the East Campus is old. It needs yearly maintenance however, the West campus is a perfect example of good infrastructure. There are several auditoriums in college and multiple grounds for sports and physical activities.
Faculty: The teachers in HBTU are very knowledgeable and qualified, but interaction between the students and teachers is not very good. Means there is no bonding between students and teachers. They only teach and never give extra knowledge. Except for a few teachers.
Other: Honestly, I didn't know about the course before taking admission in HBTU. After knowing the course, it seems to be quite interesting and not so hard. The best thing about this college is the alumni network because of its old heritage and culture.

Choose this college if you are not getting good NITs and you are ready for the grind.
Placements: Last year, 100% students were placed, but it varies every year. The highest package was 7 LPA, the lowest 3.36 LPA, and the average package was around 4 LPA. Patanjali Foods Pvt Ltd was the top company. 80% students got internships in companies like HAL, Pepsico, and JK Foods. Roles offered were management trainee and engineering trainee.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs and library are available, classrooms are average. Hostel is also average with all basic facilities, a mess, laundry, canteen, and basic equipments for sports. Infrastructure of both departmental and hostel building is average. Medical facilities are provided by a dispensary in college. Students also receive insurance cover from college supported by a company.
Faculty: Teachers are well qualified with average teaching quality. The course curriculum is somewhat relevant to industry. Though students are required to gain skills and experiences in order to be industry ready by the completion of their course. Semester exams are of an easy to moderate level with a pass percentage of 70%.

A review of so called prestigious college.
Placements: The placement in CSE branch is very low right now. Only 51 students are placed, and the job offers are 59. The placement percentage is 65.4%. The highest number of placements is in TCS. There is also a recession going on so the placement might be low due to this. The placement in the chemical branch is the best right now. It has the highest number of placements right now.
Infrastructure: The hostel room I have is very bad. The whole almirah is broken and falling off the wall. Its been over 1 month since I submitted the application for repair but not a single action has been till now. The almirah is changed by a rope so it doesn't fall upon us. The food quality is also not so good most of the time. The computer lab has mostly broken and not working computers.
Faculty: The teaching quality is very bad. Teachers are quite rude and not cooperative. The exams are not so hard. You can pass them easily if you study well. Teacher surveillance is very strict so very less chances of cheating happening. If you are caught cheating, you will get UFM which will ultimately lead to yearback.
