Heritage Institute of Technology East Calcutta Township Kolkata Answered Questions

No, mathematics is not compulsory for biotechnology. The knowledge of biology and chemistry will be sufficient for this course. Although in the first three semesters, you will have to study biology as one of the subjects. But don't worry, that will be taught in the classroom. Best of luck.

Hello Soumyadip, Heritage is one of the top private engineering colleges of West Bengal, hence the cutoff is low. In 2018, after 3rd round the opening WBJEE rank was 1018 and closing rank was 4130 for CSE. I guess it went upto 5k in the spot counseling (mop up) round.
So you have to get a rank under 4k to be on the safe side.

Hi Keshab,
If you are interested in core companies and IT companies as well, then you should go for electronics and communication engineering at heritage.

Hi Soumyadip,
There is no reserved seat in Heritage. Your admission will be based on your general rank. It is tough to get any branch in Heritage with this rank. Last year the overall cutoff for all branches was around 80k. You have to wait till the last round. Alternatively you can take admission in other colleges like Techno, or opt for management quota in Heritage.
