All over college is good but it would have been better if the funds were used at the right place

The first year fees including tution fees, hostel fees and mess fees will bhi approx 200000 and then for next 3 years it will be approx 187500. Fee waiver option is also available for students with very low income (atleast income<100000). Other than this you can apply for UP scholarship have many more private scholarships.

Review from a IT Student

The overall fee structure of the college is quite good. But the college does not provide any scholarship of their own. But the students can apply for the scholarship offered by the government which will be a relief for various students. The most popular scholarship of the government which most of the students apply for is scholarship offered by Uttar Pradesh government with provide most of the financial assistance to the on the other hand the tuition fee increase policy was being implemented in the college in the past years the tuition fees of the college has experienced a quite rise. As most of the colleges especially engineering colleges have quite high amount of fees. Which some students find difficult to take admission in that college. The complete cost of the education including the tuition service fees another compulsory charges goes up to 2 or sometimes 3 lakh for year. Which is a quite high number but at the same time in the government provides various relief to students for .

The tuition fee of Hbtu is less as compared to other colleges,it is 127500 for each year and it remains same throughout the 4 year of the college. There are no financial aids provided by the college to the students but there are some scholarships like up scholarship and Siemens scholarship which students can take and college help in the process of getting these scholarships. The campus employment is very good ,it has the successful rate of 90%.
