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.

Our infrastructure is improving day by day. Faculty members are really nice and help us.
Placements: This is our foundation batch so exactly we can not define the package and types of companies. But we really put a hard time getting placed. We use LinkedIn profiles to create contacts and try to reach companies in biotech industry because biotech government puts a good effort and gets funding for a larger amount in biotech industry. Total seats in my batch are 75 of which 64 are occupied, and on the other hand, the craze for biotech increases day by day.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure gets enhanced by our faculty members according to the requirements as new labs are designed for us to get into it deeper and understand the techniques used in biotechnology. We have a central library and classrooms with AC. Wi-Fi is provided all over the campus. My hostel is Vishwakarma, where facilities are really good. Canteen is also available for us. The quality of food is so good. On college campus medical facilities are also available.
Faculty: Teaching quality is really good as my professors are highly qualified and Ph.D. holders. One of them has completed their studies outside India, and they are very helpful in behavior. Our curriculum is authentic and helps students become industry-ready and get placed. Semester exams are not really tough if you are regularly attending the class, and then the semester exams go easily. Our semester exam is 50, in which 15 marks are passing marks.
Other: I wanted to be a biotechnologist that's why I chose this field.

College without any hidden secret.
Placements: Earlier, the placement record was quite good but after corona, it declined. The overall placement percentage is 80-90%. The average package in mechanical engineering and chemical engineering is around 8 LPA - 9 LPA and 7 LPA - 8 LPA respectively. Some good companies which are visiting my college are Samsung, R&D, TCS, etc.
Infrastructure: As it is a more than 100 years old college, the building is old and some need to be renovated like Shridhar Acharya Hostel. One very nice thing is there is the greenery which I like the most. There is a library whose timing is not good. It is from 10 AM to 7 PM. There is Wi-Fi in the hostel.
Faculty: Here, all teachers are not so qualified and knowledgeable but some are helpful like Rekha mam. She is a maths faculty. The teaching quality of some teachers is very bad. The course curriculum is not so relevant. It doesn't make students industry-ready. The course curriculum needs to be improved.
Other: The behaviour of seniors is not so good.

Review of B.Tech in Information Technology from Harcourt Butler Technical University, Kanpur.
Placements: Almost 80% of students are placed. The average package is about 8 to 12 LPA. The median package is about 9.5 LPA. Some of the companies that visited for on-campus placement are Samsung, Josh, TCS, and Accenture. The majority of students get placements. Many companies offer internships to students.
Infrastructure: The hostel facility is good, and the food tastes and quality are also good. But there is a lack of cleanliness in the hostels. Hostels have a common room and sports facilities like volleyball. The library is also good. It contains lots of books, which can be issued very easily. The infrastructure of the library is good, with good ventilation and AC.
Faculty: Faculty members are supportive and good. Generally, in each semester, there are two mid-semester and one end-semester exam. The faculty is very knowledgeable and has experience in teaching. The curriculum is very good, it covers various important subjects, and they are in line with industry standards.

Placements: Our batch has strong placement rates. Around 85% of students got placed. The highest package is 43 LPA, the average is 7 LPA, and the lowest is 3.5 LPA. Top recruiters are Microsoft, Infosys, TCS, and Wipro. 70% got internships at DRDO, Adobe, and startups. Roles offered are SDE, analyst, and QA.
Infrastructure: Our department has well-equipped labs, smart classrooms, Wi-Fi, and a rich library. Hostels are decent with 24/7 Wi-Fi, clean rooms, and good security. Mess food is average but hygienic. Sports grounds, gym, and basic medical facilities are available.
Faculty: Faculty are helpful, well-qualified, and teach with clarity. The curriculum is updated and industry-relevant with good practical exposure. Exams are moderately tough, but manageable. The pass percentage is around 90%, with regular internal assessment.

I am not satisfied with college.
Placements: Placements are in very critical condition. The packages vary from 2 LPA to 15 LPA. Only 60% of students are able to receive jobs. The major company includes TCS. It needs improvement drastically. Roles that are offered include data scientist, etc.
Infrastructure: Being a state-funded college its infrastructure is not up to mark. It has a poor Wi-Fi facility including library which is not available 24 hours. There is an unavailability of hostel for 2nd,3rd, and 4th year students so they have to go to the West campus. HBTU has good food quality in canteen.
Faculty: Some teachers are seniors. They are highly qualified and knowledgeable but teachers who joined within 5- 7 years are just a showcase. They pretend to be knowledgeable. Course curriculum followed is still the same and has not been updated with fast-growing technology.
Other: I chose this course because it was in high demand concerning placement but as soon as I entered the college. I found it to be complete myth. This year fest is not held but some extracurricular activities are conducted.
