Should I take admission in mechanical at KIIT University, HBTI Kanpur or IET Lucknow?

KIIT will take all of your parents' hard-earned money. They will allow your entire batch to sit in some 2 to 4 average companies through campus placement, but if you want to work for any services-based IT company, you can get admission to KIIT. If GATE/IES/PSU is your goal, it is best to study in a college that is close to your home and has lower fees. HBTI is the best not only in UP but across the country, with an excellent alumni base dating back to 1921. Each year, the best students from UP attend this prestigious institute. IET is not bad, but when compared to HBTI, it falls short in terms of placements, alumni base, academics, and so on.

KIIT University offers admission based on the KIITEE entrance exam, which is free to apply for. With no application fee, students can fill out forms online and take the Computer Based Test. Students with ranks under 4,000 often secure top branches like Computer Science, while ranks up to 30,000 are eligible for counseling, which includes a refundable Rs. 60,000 fee if admission is not pursued. The 2013-17 batch faced a semester fee of Rs. 1,10,000, an annual hostel charge of Rs. 60,000, and a mess fee of Rs. 25,000.

I love KIIT

The tuition fees of BTech courses are 175000 per semester. As i had taken admission after clearing KIITEE and i had also cleared the eligibility criteria of 75% in my board exams, i got an scholarship of 30% reduction in my tuition fees . KIIT also gives 5000 per month scholarships to the topper of the respective branches.

KIIT is the underdog of all private colleges

The fee structure can be better in terms of consistency, for some freshers it was 16 L for the entire 4 years and for some it was 20 L and for next batch it was down to 18L for 4 years. So there is a consistency gap in terms of the fee structure.

Good study culture and curriculum. A detailed overview of the curriculum present at the official site.

I remember before my admission and after my admission there was a constant hike of 5000 difference but after one or two years it seemed to stop hiking. My education included 2 lacs per year for the tuition fee. It was costly but given the practical equipments present there, and the kind of practical knowledge I got from there, it was worth it. I got a job at cognizant from the campus placement, 4.5lpa job with 6 months of training which included rent allowance, provident fund and health insurance as well.
