Placements are good and the curriculum is relevant.

Placements: 80 percent of students are placed from the previous batch. The average package is about 4.5 LPA. The highest is about 12 LPA for information technology. The lowest is from non-tech roles at 2 LPA. TCS, Wipro, and Cognizant are top recruiters. No one gets an internship from the college itself. Roles offered are software engineer, analyst, IT support, and customer support.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are nice. The library is also good you can get all the books from the library. Wi-Fi is present in the college. Classrooms do not have air conditioning, but air conditioning is present in the library. The environment is good but the college overall is small. There is no hostel in the college but there are hostels and PGs nearby.

Faculty: Teachers are quite qualified and knowledgeable. They will guide you well. Teaching quality is a bit average. The course curriculum is relevant and it makes you industry-ready. Semester exams are moderately difficult. The pass percentage depends on the toughness of the question paper sometimes it is good and sometimes not at all good.

Other: B.Tech in Information Technology helps you get into various fields of the information technology domain you can move into development, analytics, support, etc. The best thing is that the curriculum is relevant it has artificial intelligence, Java, and everything required. Campus life should improve. Events and fests are average. There are 4-5 events throughout the year but only the fest is exciting.

Placements: Many of the students are already placed in different companies. 90 percent of students are placed in MNC companies. All deserving students got internships from this course, mostly at Keysight, TCS, etc. Most of the students are placed in Infosys, Webel, TCS, etc.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are very good. Labs and classrooms are well structured, and Wi-Fi connection is very good. The quality of food is very good in the canteen. Medical facilities are very good. The sports and games section is also very strong and good.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and qualified. They always help us gain more knowledge and motivate us. The semester exam is not so difficult. All professors always try to help us before the semester exam. They provide us with many model questions and suggested questions.

Hostel facilities, mess food, practical training, and student support are not good.

Placements: As I am a BCA student, but I still have not received information about placements, internships, and top recruiting companies. I feel that the college should provide more information to students so students can manage and be ready for company standards.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and hostel facilities are average and need improvement. Basic facilities are available but the quality of mess food is very bad. Rooms are not good. The canteen is available but my experience is not good. Also, medical facilities are not good.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful, but sometimes I think they are less professional, and teaching experience should be improved. The BCA curriculum covers basic subjects but more practical learning, industry exposure, and skills-based training are needed. Semester exams are manageable for students who study in smart ways.

Other: I chose BCA to learn about computers and programs but my overall experience is not fully satisfying.

Average placements at an affordable college in Nadia, West Bengal.

Placements: Global Institute of Management and Technology had a 60–70% placement rate. It didn't matter because the average package was only in the range of 3–4 LPA, which was quite poor. The highest package was 6.3 LPA. The lowest was 1.1 LPA. The biggest truth was revealed in my 3rd year when we were introduced to hiring companies. The college used to advertise with many top companies, but only a few visited the campus, like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro. No other companies even partnered up for internships. The internship rate was only 10%. You could only stand here if you applied for off-campus opportunities.

Infrastructure: The major issue was that the college claimed the campus had high-speed internet connectivity, but in reality, there was no Wi-Fi installed on the whole campus. Only computer labs had LAN connectivity with very slow speed. Every year, the library was refilled with new edition books and had a well-spaced reading room with air conditioning. Canteen food was so good. The college was situated in Krishnanagar with decent connectivity like bus, train, airport, etc. Though the campus had no self-owned medical support, hospitals and medicine shops were available around the college. The college promoted inter-college hackathons, sports, technical fests, and indoor games like chess, sudoku, and treasure hunts, etc.

Faculty: There were mixed categories of faculty members. A few were helpful and had great teaching techniques, but a few were less likely to do so. The course structure involved cryptography, blockchain, networking, software engineering, machine learning, computer graphics and vision, artificial intelligence, databases, and big data. There were project submissions and seminars in the last 4 semesters. Somehow, workshops and internships helped students get to know how companies worked and get clients. The semester exams stuck to notes and books, and the pass percentage was 80%.

Other: This was the only affordable college with an absolute return in placements, so I joined this college. But after admission, I got to know there were a lot of problems, like no Wi-Fi. Hence, I had a very bad experience at this college regarding facilities. If your goal was to get a cheap college with an average package and events, sports, and technical fests, this was a good option. But if you were looking for a higher salary, this would not be a good option. The college should have tied up with more IT companies at higher packages and partnered with organizations for internship opportunities.

Placement and faculty members are the best in this college.

A solid start to a tech career at HIT.

Placements: I am from the Information Technology Department, from the 2027 batch. As per the latest placement records, roughly 78–80% of IT students have been placed. The average package offered to B.Tech students is approximately Rs. 4.5–5 LPA, and better offers are available in the IT field. Some of the prominent recruiters are TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, Capgemini, Accenture, Wipro, IBM, PwC, Visteon Corporation, and Deloitte. The internship scenario is quite positive as well. 96% of IT students were provided internships in the 2026 batch.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure setup for the IT department is satisfactory, with computer laboratories, spacious classrooms, Wi-Fi, and a college library. The overall facilities of the college are satisfactory. There is a difference in the availability of hostels for boys and girls. Hostel facilities are generally available to boys in the first year, whereas girls have hostel facilities available throughout their course. The hostel facility for girls has comparatively stricter entry rules. Students are expected to return by 7 p.m.

Faculty: Faculty members are competent. They are knowledgeable and supportive. Syllabus is up to date. It provides a solid foundation in Information Technology. Students have to develop their coding skills. Semester examinations are usually moderate. It can be managed with proper preparation. The quality of teaching is high.

Other: I have selected IT due to my passion for technology and programming. The course provides good technical exposure. It would be better to have more project-based training in the field. University has a very good environment, with frequent fests and extracurricular activities.
