Heritage Institute of Technology East Calcutta Township Kolkata Answered Questions

If I talk about the maximum rank, it depends on two things. First, category and branch. If I talk about the general category opening and closing rank for the year 2017, the opening rank for CS was 699 and closing(maximum) rank was 5030. Apart from this, opening rank for ECE was 1531 and closing(maximum) rank was 8157.

Heritage Institute of Technology situated in Kolkata is a private institute taking the students for engineering stream.
Though the college is not so much remarkable and up to the mark when it comes to infrastructure but is improving itself and hence can be considered as okay.
Now, coming to the placement stats, the average placement from here is around 3 to 4 lakh and highest package offered is from Microsoft which is around 16 lakhs.
Although, the above placement data is from CSE, ECE, IT, etc.
Also, frankly speaking, the college do not have a good placement record other than these three branch though, many IT based companies visit for mass recruitment such as TCS, Infosys as well as Wipro.
Also, the faculty members are good, but not up to the level to meet the requirements of industry as well as modern world.
So, in all, the college is good for the core branches only, and should not, be preferred for distance education. Although, students from West Bengal can have it as their last option but for the three mentioned branches.
Thank you. Hope it helped.

Talking about the Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering in Heritage Institute of Technology, the total students in this branch are about 60. Companies like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS ), Wipro, Infosys, etc., recruit students and that too in mass. The average placement is 3.75-4.00 LPA. Some CS students get placements for 8-10 LPA as well. One got a package of 22 LPA last year.
Students from Applied Electronics and Instrumentation (AEI) branch also get placements in these IT companies. But the core companies for AEI that visit the campus are very few. If we talk about the faculty members here, they are quite good. Some are Ph.D holders and some have the experience of more than 18 years.
To get placed in core companies, the students too need to work hard. Since, HITK is a private college, it is obvious that not many companies will visit. Apart from this, students also go for higher studies. A lot of students prepare for GATE. Some go for civil services. Some look up for IES (Indian Engineering Services).
Moreover, this is the scenario out here in Heritage Institute of Technology (HITK). I am providing two links below. Go through it and I hope this helps you.

Heritage College of Engineering, Kolkata is a very good college for biotechnology but the thing is that if placement is the sole criteria on which you want me to give analysis of the college, then I must tell you that the college is just an average college and you will be disappointed to know, almost 50-60% of the total batch of biotechnology students end up in IT companies, marketing firms, and banking sector jobs, where you would get nothing more than 4 LPA.
The thing for which the college is known for is, the faculty members or the professors here have earned a really good reputation in India as well as abroad and so if you think of doing M.Tech or MS from abroad, you really have a great chance of getting admission to some reputed foreign universities, with the help of the letters of recommendation that the faculty members of your college can provide you.
You cannot expect an average placement of more than 4-5 LPA in chemical department of HIT Kolkata, including the core companies.

Heritage Institute of Technology comes under top colleges in West Bengal. CSE is one of the best branch of HIT, Kolkata. The placement scenario here is quite good. Heritage has an upper hand in terms of placement. The placements were pretty fine in last two years. Companies like TCS, mass recruits with an avg package of 3.75 - 4.00 LPA. Some students have also got a package of 6-7 LPA. Apart from on-campus recruits, students have also got a package of 20-22 LPA, off-campus. Some companies like Infosys, Wipro Tech, Xplorsoft also visits the campus. This year Hp is going to visit. Although companies like Hp, do not recruit many students but this gives students an opportunity to excel. The placement percentage is around 80-85% in HITK. There are also few core branch companies like Borch, Godrej, Philips, etc that visits the campus. But they do not recruit many students. A good amount of students go for higher studies.
I would say, the placement scenario is extremely good. But it is fine.

I think mechanical engineering from Heritage Institute of Technology is a better option but marine engineering takes long. If you go for marine engineering, you go through a long process like interviews, medical checkups. After doing your B.Tech from Heritage, I think you should have to prepare for GATE for M.Tech or you do one more thing which is to start your GATE coaching in the very 1st-semester to last. After doing 4- years of preparation, you will get IIT for M.Tech easily.

You should either go for IEM, Kolkata or Heritage, Kolkata, as both the colleges are good with decent placements.
Campus of the IEM Kolkata is school like campus with very strict rules and regulations.
So, better you choose some good branch in Heritage.
As you get better branch preference in Heritage than IEM because IEM is ranked 1 private colleges in West Bengal.
