The best part is that it is located between the city and the forest.

Placements: In our course, there is a batch of 70 students. The highest package is 25 LPA, and the lowest is 5 LPA. Even big companies like Amazon invite students for internships. With a CGPA of 8.9, they get good internship opportunities and gain valuable knowledge from these experiences.

Infrastructure: Facilities are good. Wi-Fi facilities are excellent, and the labs are well-maintained. The library is full of books. The food in the hostel is very good. The view is amazing, and the best part is the greenery everywhere. Shops are located near the hostel, and there are also 3-4 police booths near the hostel and college.

Faculty: Teachers are well-educated, with some from NIT. Their behaviour is very good, and they treat us like we are their own children. The course is very interesting and prepares students to be industry-ready. The semesters are difficult, and the pass percentage is 45%.

Other: In this course, a wide number of opportunities are available in the government field. The syllabus should be renewed. There are many events and scholarship opportunities as well.

Horror College Experience.

Placements: No placement campaign was there in the college. Before the admission process, it was told to us that you will get the placement campaign to attend, but all was just fake. Two years back, our super seniors were the last batch who had got the opportunity to attend the campus placement campaign.

Infrastructure: There was not a newly built infrastructure present in our college. The classroom was only equipped with chairs, benches, and a blackboard. No Wi-Fi facilities in the college. The library was not equipped with the required materials. Practical labs were not equipped with any modern equipment. Somehow, there was the canteen opening from 8 am to 8 pm. A playing ground was provided, and the medical facilities were also very poor.

Faculty: Our faculty members were not very qualified to attain the position, but they put a lot of effort for the students. They were helpful too. My course was Civil Engineering, which is very relevant and useful in infrastructure development in this century. The semester exam was a little tougher than usual. 40-50% of students were the ones to pass the examination.

Other: I chose this course because of my interest to join the construction world and give my efforts to make development in this field as possible. More practical work can improve the course in my college as well as several colleges in India. Every year, a fest was conducted for the farewell of final-year students. Small events on the occasion of Teachers' Day, Engineering Day, Statehood Day, and etc., were celebrated.

Dissatisfied with the placements and infrastructure.

Placements: In my course, around 20 percent of students are placed. The highest package offered was around 12 LPA, and the least was around 2.4 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Samsung, Intel, Havells, etc. Around 30 percent of students get internships. The top roles offered were system analyst and telecom engineer.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is not very good. The campus is very small. The labs are not maintained properly. Well-equipped equipment is not present. The library is present and is quite good, and books can be issued easily. The hostel facilities are not available in this college. PGs are available nearby, but students have to pay a lot of fees, and the quality of food there is okay, and the mess is quite nice, and there are very few sports facilities in the college, and the college has its own ground.

Faculty: Teachers here are not highly qualified and knowledgeable. They just come to deliver the lectures. The syllabus and curriculum are not at all relevant and don't make students industry-ready. Passing exams here is easy, and the paper is set here in the college. The pass percentage is around 33 percent.

Other: I choose this course because I love this branch of electronics; it suits my interests best. The best thing about my course is making different things and circuits and chips. A better curriculum should be there to make it more interesting and industry ready. Every year, Nith Hillfair is organized, and singers are invited. Every student gets a chance to showcase their talent. Scholarships are provided to students. Extracurricular activities are there, but students here only study.

Affordable education with decent placements but needs modernization in curriculum & infrastructure.

Placements: The Himachal Institute of Engineering and Technology (HIET) in Shahpur has a moderate placement record. Around 70-75% of students from courses like B.Tech secure placements, particularly in branches such as Computer Science and Electronics. # Salary Packages: - *The highest package*: Approximately 10 LPA, often offered in technical or software-related roles. - *Average Package*: Around 3-4 LPA, varying by branch and individual performance. - *The lowest package*: Generally 2-2.5 LPA, offered in entry-level technical or support roles. # Top Recruiters: Companies like Wipro, Infosys, TCS, HCL, and local Himachal-based industries frequently recruit graduates. These firms offer roles in software development, testing, and operations. # Internship Opportunities: About 60-65% of students secure internships, mostly in technical or managerial capacities. Companies offering internships include regional enterprises and IT firms. # Roles Offered: Common roles include software engineer, system analyst, project manager, and civil/mechanical project supervisors. While HIET provides a strong academic foundation, placements are most successful for students who actively engage in internships and skill-building during their course.

Infrastructure: The *Himachal Institute of Engineering and Technology (HIET), Shahpur*, offers basic yet functional infrastructure and facilities to its students. There's an overview based on available details: # *Facilities for Courses/Departments* 1. *Wi-Fi*: - Wi-Fi is available across the campus, although students report that the speed can be inconsistent in some areas. 2. *Labs*: - Each department has its own set of laboratories equipped with essential tools and machinery. - For core engineering branches like mechanical and civil, the labs include basic equipment but may lack cutting-edge technology or advanced machinery. 3. *Classrooms*: - Classrooms are spacious and equipped with basic teaching aids like whiteboards and projectors. - However, some students have mentioned that modern classroom infrastructure, such as smart boards, is absent. 4. *Library*: - The library is reasonably stocked with textbooks, reference materials, and journals relevant to various engineering disciplines. - Digital access to e-books and journals is limited, which might be a drawback for students requiring modern academic resources. # *Hostel Facilities* 1. *Rooms*: - Separate hostels for boys and girls with shared rooms. The quality of the hostel rooms is decent, though maintenance could be improved. Basic amenities like clean bedding and cupboards are provided. 2. *Food*: - The mess offers simple, hygienic food with vegetarian options being the primary focus. Some students report the menu is repetitive. A small canteen on campus provides snacks and beverages, but the variety is limited. 3. *Medical Facilities*: - Basic first-aid and medical assistance are available on campus. - The nearest hospital is accessible for emergencies. - # *Sports and Games* - *Sports Facilities*: - The campus has basic grounds for outdoor sports like cricket and football. However, there are limited indoor gaming facilities. - Annual sports events are organized to encourage student participation. - *Challenges*: - Some students have pointed out the lack of a dedicated sports complex or modern sports equipment. # *Conclusion* While the facilities at HIET Shahpur are adequate for basic academic and residential needs, they could benefit from upgrades in modern equipment, digital resources, and recreational infrastructure. Students looking for extensive research or extracurricular opportunities may find the offerings limited.

Faculty: # *Teachers and Teaching Quality* 1. *Faculty Expertise*: - The faculty at HIET includes a mix of experienced and young professionals. While many are approachable and supportive, there are varying levels of teaching proficiency across departments. - Some students report that certain teachers lack industry exposure, which limits the practical application of knowledge. 2. *Teaching Quality*: - Teachers are generally helpful in guiding students through academic challenges, especially during project work and lab sessions. - The focus is more on theoretical understanding than hands-on industry-relevant skills. Practical learning could be enhanced by interacting more with real-world applications. # *Curriculum Relevance* 1. *Relevance to Industry*: - The curriculum follows the guidelines set by Himachal Pradesh Technical University (HPTU), ensuring coverage of core engineering subjects. - While it provides a strong foundation, students often find the curriculum lagging in emerging fields like Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Machine Learning. - Internships, workshops, and industry exposure programs are limited, which may leave students less prepared for competitive industries. 2. *Industry Readiness*: - To become industry-ready, students need to supplement their learning with additional certification and practical internships. - The college offers occasional seminars and guest lectures, but these are not sufficient for advanced professional preparation. # *Semester Exams* 1. *Difficulty Level*: - Semester exams are considered moderately difficult, aligning with the standard set by HPTU. They test theoretical knowledge more than application skills. - A well-prepared student can clear exams with regular study and guidance from faculty. 2. *Pass Percentage*: - The pass percentage is generally high, with most students managing to clear exams on their first attempt. However, success often depends on individual dedication and consistent academic effort. # *Conclusion* - *Teaching*: Helpful but with scope for modernization in both methodology and industry exposure. - *Curriculum*: Provides a basic foundation but requires external resources for holistic development. - *Exams*: Manageable with regular study, but less emphasis on practical, industry-aligned skills. For students aiming to excel in competitive industries, proactive engagement in internships, certification, and self-learning is essential.
