HITS, Chennai Comparison

I am an alumnus of Hindustan University. I secured the 52nd rank in HITSEEE-2013 and got a 50% scholarship for my studies at HU. This makes me the right person to answer your query. 

On average, around 5000-6000 students appear for the HITSEEE each year. Rank 1-10 get a 90% scholarship, rank 11-50 get a 75% scholarship, and rank 51-100 get a 50% scholarship for their academic fee. If your 12th percentage is 90% or more, you won’t be paying any donation fee either.

Make sure to insist on getting that scholarship and donation fee exemption during your counseling. Else, you’ll be fooled into paying the entire amount.

The campus life of HU is decent. The university provides decent sports and extracurricular facilities. Only IT companies like Infosys and Tech Mahindra visit the campus for placements. Therefore, choose CSE/IT.

Hindustan University offers various B.Tech branches, and the tuition fee varies accordingly. 

I am mentioning below the fee structure for B.Tech at Hindustan University-

Refer to this table and check the tuition fee according to the branch you are opting for at Hindustan University.

I am a student of B.Tech CSE at Hindustan University, pursuing a specialization in IBM cloud computing and virtualization. 

The CSE department is quite good. All its professors are friendly and supportive. The university focuses a lot on extracurriculars, even more than the academics. A number of workshops and events are regularly organized on campus. 

If you abide by the rules and regulations, you won’t face any trouble from the authorities. You will be offered a nurturing environment and ample growth opportunities. 

Hindustan University is a good choice for a CSE, given that you participate in events and make use of all the opportunities. 

Here is all I know about the placement scenario of these branches at my university.

These are some top companies that visit the campus- 

PwC , EY, Sap labs, Musigma, Amazon,ThoughtWorks, Hitachi Consulting, IBM India, HSBC, Huawei Technology, Zoho Corporation, Capgemini, CSC, ITC infotech, L&T Infotech, Gofrugal, Virtusa, Payoda, Code Brahma, Standard Chartered Scope Int, Ericsson, MAQ for internship, Unisys, Volante technologies, Verizon, TEK systems, HUL, Amadeus Software Labs, HP india, Alcatel, NTT Data, etc.

Companies like Amazon and MAQ software provide PPOs as well. Other than these, mass recruiters- TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro, Accenture and Capgemini visit the campus with IT job profiles. HUL, Exxotel, Scope int, Tata communications, etc. are open to all branches. 

The companies offer around 3-6 LPA on an average. The salary can also exceed 10 LPA in case of companies like DE Shaw and HSBC. Mass recruiters pay around 3.2-3.5 LPA. 

Thus, the placements at Hindustan University are quite decent for CSE, ECE and IT.

As a student of Hindustan University, here is my honest opinion about my institution.

The fees are quite high, suitable for upper middle class candidates. The academics on the other hand, are quite average. The plus point is that you’ll get to meet people from different parts of India, especially Kerala. There is no dress code, so you can dress casually. The campus library is good. 

There are various engineering branches. Even though the university claims to be best in Aeronautical Engineering, this is not the case. Rather, Electrical and Mechanical are good over here. The campus is decent. However, the placements are very poor.

Hindustan University offers an average college life, and very poor placements. But it does have a good ambience and a diverse crowd.

I don't know much about CBIT and Hindustan University. But I won’t recommend you the NCR campus of SRM.

It is in fact not located in the National Capital Region. It is situated in Modinagar (Sikrikalan to be precise).The management of this college is very poor. You’ll be wasting a lot of energy for simple requests like getting statements attested, acquiring a recommendation letter, getting fee refunds, etc.

I studied CSE over there. The faculty for CSE is considered to be the best. However, in reality, most teachers don’t even have an idea of their specialization. You’ll find that the same teacher is taking classes for various specializations like Data Structures, Mobile Computing, Theory of Computation, Compiler, etc. New ideas aren’t encouraged in the classroom. 

The hardware in CSE labs is top notch, but the software is all outdated. The hostels are decent but the mess food is disappointing. The hostel wardens do minimum to maintain discipline. For placements, you’ll have to travel all the way to Chennai, with no support from the management, and no accommodation facilities. 

Thus, do not choose the NCR campus of SRM University, especially for the CSE program.
