The college is decent best.
Placements: The core jobs are not very high because, if you are someone wanting to work in the core field, that will be quite difficult, as the company pattern shows that they hire more students from M.Tech. But if you learn coding through the four years of B.Tech, then the chances for placements are quite high, as you would have the choice of going to the IT sector and other software jobs.
Infrastructure: HBTU has two campuses: East Campus and West Campus. The East Campus has two boys’ hostels for first-year students and a girls’ hostel for each year. The West Campus has hostels only for boys of 2nd, 3rd, and final year, Shatabdi Bhavan for cultural events, a cricket ground, a gymnasium, and other facilities. However, the condition of the hostel rooms is not of a very high standard. The hostels accommodate single, double, and three-seater rooms.
Faculty: The teachers and professors of each department are quite experienced and highly educated, but if you are thinking that the professors are going to teach you everything, that is not going to be the case. You have to take the initiative for learning new things. You need to ask the teachers to take extra classes and help with other things.
Other: The number of students in the Electronics Engineering batch for the year 2025–2029 is 69. The faculty is good and experienced and helps the students according to their problems, both academically and personally.

The underrated college with a great scope of improvement and decent placement.
Placements: The number of students getting placed is dicey as the placement season is still going on, but on average, out of 100, 75 students get placed. The highest package off-campus is 44 LPA, and the lowest is somewhat around 5 LPA, and the average is between 9 and 12 LPA. Companies come here for various roles, including marketing, SDE, and fact-related roles in the chem tech branch. And if we talk about internship, they are not that good but not that bad either, the top role for which the offer was made was SDE, to my knowledge.
Infrastructure: The classes are spacious and well-ventilated with ACs. The library is huge, with over 1 lakh books. HBTU also has multiple canteens across the campus, offering plenty of spots to explore and hang out, making the overall campus experience lively and enjoyable.
Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified and have experience in teaching, though some teachers might not be that great, the faculty members are usually good. The curriculum is outdated, but still, amendments are being made to make the course industry-ready, and for the exams, it's usual that if you study, you'll be able to maintain a good gpa.
Other: The overall college is good. I joined this one because of its legacy of 105 years, and the placements are pretty decent too.

College is good in academics and also in extracurricular activities.
Placements: About 85 percent of students are placed every year. The highest package in my branch is 19 LPA, and the average package is about 8 LPA. Also, many companies came to the college. The highest package of college is 34 LPA on campus, so it is good and okay.
Infrastructure: Labs and classrooms are so good, while the campus is fine, and libraries are so good. About 1 lakh books are available in the college, which is a good facility in the hostel, and the seniors are very supportive in the college, so the academics are going smoothly.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and involved in studies. They provide the best notes possible, so teachers are very nice. They are much more qualified, and the curriculum of the college is very good. Semester exams are easy if we learn small things, the pass percentage is about 50 percent.
Other: Fests are not so good, but we can adjust according to the college.

Good college like in placements, course, alumni network.
Placements: Placements of my course is excellent. Some of high paying recruiters are Asian Paint, Hero, Suzuki. The average package is around 8–9 LPA and placement is 100 percent. In my course, almost 50 percent students got their internships in 5th or 6th semester, which is on campus.
Infrastructure: The campus life is not that much good as compared to other colleges, and the location of the college is also a negative side. Hostel life is good until unless you are in East campus (where all the academic and administrative buildings are present). According to me, it’s better to take private hostel than choosing West campus hostel like Ambedkar and Aryabhatt in 1st year.
Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified and helping except few. After every month there will be an exam, so you have to prepare according. Curriculum is good, almost same as that of AKTU in first year. Exams are not that difficult; anyone can score 8+ CGPA in first year.
Other: If you are getting this college, you can choose, but hostel of West campus is main problem because it is 7 km from East campus, and your life will be same as that of a day scholar.

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.

Chemical/CT at HBTU is worth it, strong academics and consistently solid placements.
Placements: According to the placement data provided by the college, this year almost 75–80 percent of students are placed in Electrical Engineering, with an average package of 6–9 LPA. So, placements are decent in the electrical batch. The highest on-campus placement is 10 LPA, and 2 students received offers from Meesho (18 LPA). Top recruiting companies include Reliance Industries Ltd, etc. Around 60–70 percent of students in the electrical batch got internships. Top roles offered are core engineering jobs.
Infrastructure: The campus is decent but mostly old. Buildings are functional, not modern. Labs are mixed, some are updated, while some are outdated. The hostel is basic with average maintenance; rooms are simple, and the mess food is consistent. Overall, it is a workable environment, but don’t expect premium facilities.
Faculty: Faculty is average. Some teachers are good, while many are just okay. The curriculum feels outdated and doesn’t fully match current industry needs. Exams happen very frequently, so you’re almost always preparing for some test or assessment. Overall, the academic load is constant but not always meaningful. Semester exams are not very difficult; you can easily score good marks if you study even a week before.
Other: I chose this course because it offers strong fundamentals and decent placement security. The best parts are the practical exposure, flexibility to shift into different career paths, and the overall learning environment. The curriculum needs a major update to match current industry skills. Faculty quality is consistent, but the teaching style is outdated. More hands-on training and modern labs would make the course far better. Events and fests are a big plus, there’s always something happening on campus. The crowd is mixed but generally active.
