Top engineering college of UP.

Faculty: Some teachers are helpful and the rest are not. Some teachers teach passionately, while others just are not good at all at teaching, so we have to prepare the subject on our own. The course curriculum is old and not industry relevant. Semester exams are a bit difficult which is due to the huge syllabus.

I am pretty happy with my hostel life but not with the college. It is decent.

Faculty: Some faculty members are great. Some are average and some are very bad literally very bad. They treat you like school students. They force you to make notebooks and to present daily. Some faculty members are genuinely good. They try their best to make you understand or be available for any queries and problems.

Good college and decent placement.

Faculty: Fair exams are conducted time to time and are monitored heavily and the faculty here is good and overqualified. Our faculty members have Master's or Ph.D. degrees from IITs. The curriculum holds together well. Since it's a state government college, the faculty is good.

The first-hand HBTU experience.

Faculty: The teachers are well qualified and mostly helpful and provide notes and exam based guidance too. The course for the first year teaches all the aspects of engineering while from the second year the core study starts which is industry oriented. They organise many conferences and submit so that students are interactive and ready with the latest industry knowledge. The semester exams are not that difficult but since it's an absolute grading system you have to study most of the topic to get a good C...

Oil Technology don't include mineral oils and gases in HBTU.

Faculty: Most of the teachers here are supportive but you have to approach them if you face any specific problem or issue, they will surely look into the matter. The college offers some industrial visits, but they are rare, they do bring experts to teach about current developments in industry. End-semester is a bit hard, some teachers do hard checking (in Physics and electrical). To pass the end-semester, you need 15/50 and a total 40/100.

College is very good and has a powerful alumni network.

Faculty: Faculty as we know are mostly from good colleges, such as IIT and NIT. Some of them have taught in foreign universities also. They are all very qualified, and most are Ph.Ds. Now about curriculum, it is as per NEP but it still lacks practical aspects.

Average campus. Placements are excellent for technology & core branches, but average for CS and IT.

Faculty: CSE and IT are the chillest courses in the college currently. Professors assign marks based on projects and give plenty of time for independent work. The curriculum is outdated. In the first year, students study irrelevant topics like paint and food technology. However, only the first year is difficult. Senior students say the other years are easy if you study regularly.

My hbtu 3 years journey.

Faculty: Some teachers are very good, they know how to reach or communicate with students. The semester duration is only 5 months, and the marking scheme is also average in this college. You will be prepared for any kind of exam after taking admission in this college.

The college is decent best.

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.

The underrated college with a great scope of improvement and decent placement.

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.

College is good in academics and also in extracurricular activities.

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.

Good college like in placements, course, alumni network.

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.

Absolutely worthy to join this college as it has a nice network.

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.

Chemical/CT at HBTU is worth it, strong academics and consistently solid placements.

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.

The best college in Uttar Pradesh after the IIT.

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.
