    To be honest this college is average.

    College Infrastructure

    The college has average to substandard laboratories and other facilities. The classrooms are now equipped with electronic boards. The campus has wifi powered by jio obviously slow. The campus is clean on the outside but dogs can be seen roaming inside even the classrooms.

    Academics

    You will need to study everything on your own atleast in the first year. The teacher will explain you anything to you if you approach them but the classes are not very helpful. The facilities are guest faculty for first year students.

    Placements

    If you maintain a decent score and complete your internship properly you have a fairly high chance to get placed. The placements are higher for computer science, chemical engineering, and mechanical engineering, and paint technology.

    Value for Money

    The course cost 1,35,000 rupees in the first year and the fee increases 10% every year. The college is not exactly worth the money but it is not as bad as people say it is. However if you get any of the core branches in this college you should go for it.

    Campus Life

    All the sports activities are limited to hosteilers because they commence during the late hours. The doctor is only available for two hours a day so for any medical emergency you would need to visit a hospital.

    College Infrastructure

    Our college infrastructure is quite old and less maintained as its one of the oldest engineering college in the country. Our classrooms are now having smart boards and wifi but somehow we lack in our sports facility

    Academics

    Our academics is good , being in first year I am not the right person to answer this but faculty here is highly educated but quality of teaching and behavior changes from teacher to teacher and some of them are really helpful and kind

    Placements

    College placement depends on branch to branch most and highest placement goes from CS as other colleges but then we can see the dominance of non core branches like paint technology and plastic technology

    Value for Money

    You won't realise that it's a government college when you will see it's fees , HBTU charges 1,35,000/- this year this fees may further rise in upcoming years and hostel fees of 65,000 /- it's really high and nearly equal to those of private college

    Campus Life

    We have a really poor campus life. You won't spot ant one after 5 , we have two campus , east campus comprises of 1 year boys hostel , girls hostel of every year and educational structures were as 2nd,3rd and final year hostels are in West campus

    College Infrastructure

    Building purani hai lekin achhi hai, Kafi maza aata hai. The infrastructure and the building design totally explains that building is hundred year old.Apart from the structure, hygiene is also commendable.

    Academics

    Teaching quality is awesome with experienced teachers. Concepts are taught in a good manner with no hurry.Due to good quality education , placements are higher which is one of the great proof. In nutshell HBTU provide good education.

    Placements

    Placements are best as compared to other colleges. Actually HBTU is known for its good placements . Computer Science placements are between 48 lakhs per annum to 60 lakhs per annum. Average for all branches is 7 to 8 lakh per annum

    Value for Money

    Course cost is little bit higher, but it Worth's.

    Campus Life

    Friendly environment, Friends cum Family

    College Infrastructure

    College have all the facilities that a graduation college should which includes lab equipment and they are now being updated as per the need only place the college lacks is infrastructure as college has almost completed 100 years

    Academics

    Harcourt Butler Technical University being a well renowned government college have well qualified teachers but they are not that prone in teaching just like other government institutions so it totally depends on your caliber

    Placements

    Placements are quite good you can get your desired or deemed packages by a engineering graduate the average package is around 5 lakh and it goes as high as 48 and 60 lakhs for specially in cs/it branch.

    Value for Money

    In this aspect the college might seem to you not that value for money as the fees is high for first year it is almost 1lakh 40 thousand excluding hostel fee which you might find high compared to other colleges

    Campus Life

    You will very well enjoy the campus life being at this college with supportive and friendly seniors and also as the campus is situated in the centre of the city which means you will always be surrounded by malls theaters and many food outlets to hangout.

    College Infrastructure

    Despite college’s reputation and history, it’s infrastructure is nothing compared to that of any other college in India. Wifi is available. Labs are accessible, classroom are fine. Library is resourceful but cannot be accessed for 24 Hrs. If you are a real sportsperson then you are really gonna get disappointed since the sports facilities are not that good. Canteen needs some maintenance.

    Academics

    The college offers various courses but the syllabus being the same not updated one. Course and exam structure is well maintained. Labs and workshop are quite accessible. Also many internship opportunities are available for the students.

    Placements

    HBTU is one of the oldest and finest college of India which has its own dignity and privilege. It has a very strong Alumni network. Placement are pretty good and vary for branch to branch. There are a few great recruiters along with the good ones.

    College Infrastructure

    Infrastructure of this old renowned institution dated back to 1921 when it was started, is still maintained by the authorities. Not so out of the box infra to expect, but the college has labs of NBA accredited level, smart boards are newly installed in every classrooms, gym and other sports arena in the hostels and West campus of the university. Library has sufficient books, Wifi in campus area but with restrictions. Enough of greenery to expect .

    Academics

    I am an undergraduate in Chemical Technology specialisation Paint here in HBTU. This course deals with the coatings, and advanced development of paints in both core and other automobile industries. It's the only University to offer the course in India apart from one other college. Due to limited course, the quality of teaching here is good with all qualified proffesors . The curriculum of all the branches here is well designed and structured in competence with the current industry.

    Placements

    Placements have been increasing rigoursly in the past few years. Computer science and Paint Technology students here are 100% placed. Average package ranges from 6-8 lacs of overall branches. Talking about CS , avg. Goes to 11 lacs and above . Since , the college has a wide alumni network both in India and abroad , students find it easy to approach in placement cells and internships.

    Value for Money

    Pretty much the fees in all government colleges for B.tech is near and around the same. Overall 4 years can take a lumpsum of 8 lacs here. Though the amount of money taken, infra and sports facilities need to be improved, but the wide alumni network you get of HBTI and one of the top engineering institutions in UP after IITs, NITs , it's pretty decent to enroll into.

    Campus Life

    The college is placed inside the Agricultural Institute (CSA) in a good region of Kanpur surrounded by various leisure locations. Since day scholars also constitute most part of this college, you can also opt for motorcycles etc in clg for hostellers for daily commute. Life on campus is pretty happening with various cultural, technical and sports fest every year. Various clubs are there as of dramatics, aeroclub ( for aerospace and stuff) quizzing club ( Q frat), dance ,debate etc.

    Others

    Overall the college is good to take admission if you want a good college in UP near to home, and a good alumni network to grow yourself more . The academic gradings are absolute to provide rigorous competition among students and campus life is good. Still a freshie here in H BTU, i have a lot to take count on and make my best 4 years of life a memorable one.

    The infrastructure is not so good the facilities are also not up to the mark our classroom has a smart board and it is well maintained the hostel are not at all hygienic . The hostel does not have a wifi connection.

    Academics

    The teaching quality is ok and has all the recent developments int he field the placements aree too good and yes waht i study makes me job ready. The students have to put more effort than teacher put while teaching.

    Placements

    The highest package was of 60 lakhs this year was of cs the average salary is 8 lakhs pa the college was also supportive. Yes the placement process easy and pleasant the job was in amazon one of the biggest companies.

    Value for Money

    The place is fun to be in and you get a lot to learn.

    College Infrastructure

    The infrastructure is comparatively older and not suitable for modern education. Old equipments for lab and overall dusty workshops is just not beneficial for the education of students. Smart classes are not conducted.

    Academics

    Academics are full time concentrated and students strive to achieve perfection in studies because attendace requirement is 75% for all students and it goes as low as 60% if there is a valid medical certificate for those in need.

    Placements

    Placements are very well suited to the capabilities of a students. Not every branch gets nice placements but at the end it's what we want to do in future, i.e. pursue masters or look for a job either through on campus or off campus placements.

    Value for Money

    The infrastructure and the extra curricular activities are not given much importance.

    Campus Life

    Campus life is pretty good and meeting new people just makes it even more interesting.

    Others

    Overall the college is nice and at the end it's what you make of it. Ample of free time and motivation will get you to the top.

    Yes in my college all the necessary infrastructure facilities and equipments.the facilities in workshop and laborities are safety tools and etc and now there is smart classes will started and in every class there is a smart board.

    Academics

    The quality of teaching is very good. Teacher tells us many new type of things or new inventions and related to our branch. Such as my branch is plastic technology then we all know about the placements and companies regarding plastic product companies.

    Placements

    The quality of placement is very high and good. The maximum percentage of students were placed in many companies.the highest salary package in computer science and engineering is about 40 lakkhs. And there is placement in chemical engineering stream. Average salary package will be about to 5-6 lakh per annum.

    Value for Money

    Now money is very high.one lakh thirty five thousand per year.yes my money is worth because of we all know about the maintance ofcollege and other facilities.

    Campus Life

    The college campus is good not very bad. As wee see the earlier situation of the college it is bad campus but now it becomes better.they can handle emergencies in every situation.

    College Infrastructure

    College is good on basic infrastructure. Although it requires constant repairs and maintenance (main building and academic section is more than 50 years old) some classes are equipped with smart boards and all. There's free WiFi for students with a daily cap of 1 gigs. Hostels are old but we'll maintained.

    Academics

    Academics is okay. Most teachers are now guest faculties or temporary through world bank funding (cost saving measure due to cuts in funding) curriculum is updated and made for industry (but not quite up to the mark yet)

    Placements

    College holds a good reputation among corporations. Being an old institute it has a huge alumni base which are well connected and help out the institute and it's students in placements. Mostly good and elite companies visit campus and provide an above average compensation for Engineering.

    Value for Money

    It's outstanding in its value for money. College fee is less than other colleges of same league and institute name and reputation goes a long way. It's a well known and reputed institute with a long standing history.

    Campus Life

    Campus life is quite active during college hours but nothing much to say after that. Most clubs and committees are student run with least or none investment from faculties and/or institution. There are few clubs under college that are run by both students and faculty members.

    Others

    I would recommend to have this as your safe school or as your primary. You wouldn't regret it either way.

    Have a question related to HBTU Kanpur ?

    Dear

    According to the information with a JEE Mains rank of 98,300 in the general category, getting admission to NITs, IIITs, or HBTI might be challenging as these institutes have higher cutoffs. However, you still have some options:

    State Universities:

    1. Uttar Pradesh Technical University (UPTU) : You have a good chance of getting admission to various branches here.

    2. Harcourt Butler Technical University (HBTI) : This university also offers several engineering branches, and your rank might be competitive for admission.

    Private Colleges:

    1. Thapar University : While it's a reputed institution, your rank might be on the lower side for top branches. However, you can still try for less competitive branches.

    It's always a good idea to check the latest cutoff trends and contact the admission offices of these universities for the most accurate information.

    For finding the best college you deserve use College predictor tool.

    Thanks.

    Hi

    hope you doing well

    You have a good chance of getting CSE with 93.34 percentile in JEE Mains 2024 and OBC-NCL category from Uttar Pradesh at HBTU (Harcourt Butler Technical University), Kanpur through AKTU/UPTU counseling.

    So, your CRL (Common Rank List) rank is around 61,800 .

    Generally, the OBC rank is around 25-30% of the CRL rank.
    Estimated OBC-NCL rank = 15,000 - 18,500.

    • HBTU Kanpur offers CSE under AKTU/UPTU counseling, and the cutoffs are typically high for this branch.
    • Based on past trends, the OBC-NCL closing rank for CSE at HBTU is usually around 20,000 - 25,000 CRL.
      Given your 93.34 percentile, your CRL rank of 61,788 and OBC-NCL rank of ~15,000 gives you a solid chance for CSE at HBTU under the home state quota.

    If CSE seems tight, you can still get some excellent branches like:

    • Information Technology (IT)
    • Electronics Engineering (ECE)
    • Electrical Engineering

    Best Wishes.

    How much marks should I score to get CSE in HBTI ????

    Hello Aditya,

    The CSE cut off  in computer science in HBTU was 22184 for the other state quota and for the Uttar Pradesh domicile quota, it was also the same. So you should get around 98 percentile in order to get the cse branch in this college.

    However the cut off may vary due to certain factors such as number of candidates appearing in the examination, previous year cutoffs and difficulty level of the examination and the number of seats available in the college.
