If you want to pursue B.Tech in Agra and Mathura, you can join this. If not, go for better options.

Placements: Placements for the CSE department were good. There were a decent number of companies visiting our college for placements. There were some off-campus drives, but the salary offered was quite low. Placement rate was not 100%, and it was around 70%. The average salary package offered is around 3 LPA. We didn't get any opportunities for internships during the 3rd year.

Unexpected placements during the year 2016.

Placements: Placements in our college were good. In 2016, around 128 students got selected in TCS. Students from every branch get an opportunity to get a job during their final year itself. Various BPOs also visit and select students for jobs, which is a very good thing.

Absolutely satisfied with the well-managed faculty members, placements and infrastructure.

Placements: Our college provides many placement opportunities. Students of our branch also have opportunities, but comparatively, computer science engineering students have a lot of opportunities. Students of our senior batch are well-placed and serving the renowned industries.

Poor management yet co-operative faculty, decent placements for CSE, and average infrastructure.

Placements: To summarise the placements till date, I could say that the only students who are getting placed are computer science engineering students. Students of all other branches have to apply for the off-campus recruitment process. Although being a civil engineer, I too got placed, but it was for a techno-marketing post with the second highest package of the 2019 batch which was 4.83 LPA. The highest salary package being 5.50 LPA from Jaro Educational Group. Nearly 75% of the students of the CS departm...

Nice college but placements are not up to the mark.

Placements: Only 2 students got placed among 140 students of batch 2013-17, and only students who scored more than 80% marks got placed. Only BPOs and marketing companies knock the door for placements. You have to go for off-campus placements or prepare for SSC, bank, or civil services examinations.

Review of HCST, Farah, Mathura.

Placements: Google has arrived at the college to offer placements with a package of 12 LPA, last year. Many companies like Byjus, Hitachi, TCS, and Infosys select most of the students. The placement percentage is nearly about 88%. For internships, almost all the students of CSE department work on a project. The highest package offered is 12 LPA, the lowest package is 1.7 LPA, and the average package is 3.2 LPA. The college has a placement cell, and it is very useful.

Satisfied with the infrastructure, faculty, and placements.

Placements: The placements in the college were good but not excellent. Companies visit the college, but most of them are for CS and IT students. For core branches, only a few companies like JSAW, Mohan Energies, etc., visit the campus for placements. For CS and IT branches, all the major companies in India like TCS, Tech Mahindra, NTT Data, etc., visit the campus for placements. The placement cell of the college was very helpful to students, and teachers and coordinators manage it.

We have good placements, faculty, and infrastructure. A good college in Mathura, Agra region.

Placements: Placements are very good. There is a training and placement department for helping final year students. There is also a training and development department to train the first year students for placements. Overall, there is a good training facility for placements.

The worst college I have ever seen.

Placements: There were only 30% of the students got placed. The maximum package offered is 1.5 to 1.7 LPA. The companies offer the marketing jobs for the Computer Science engineering students. Only 12-15% of the students got internships, but they got them with their own efforts. The college doesn't support any students.

A college like many other B.Tech colleges in India.

Placements: There are no good placements from this institution. Faculty gets serious about the placements when we are in 4th year. That's the reason only 72% of students in CS branch got the placement. My senior has such low package per annum despite being a topper. I think anybody with basic computer knowledge could get off-campus placement. Many companies had stopped coming, to the college. They prefer GLA students. My cousin got a placement with a package of 3.75LPA despite being a topper, and he has goo...

Disappointed with the placements in 2017-18.

Placements: We have got a placement cell over here. In my opinion it is not as much effective as it should be. As I am in my 2nd year of my course, so regarding placements I can only tell about my seniors which were not sufficient. The percentage of placement was about 50%. The number of core companies visiting the college were less so students had to go for other options. The highest salary offered was 9 Lacs/annum (non core) and average salary offered was 3 lacks/annum approximately. The college does not ...

Highly disappointed with the college. Would never suggest anyone about HCST.

Placements: The college brochure says the placement percentage as 75 however in the recent years no good and renowned company had visited the college. Even TCS AND TECHMAHINDRA have blacklisted the college (source update). Moreover no good placement took place in the last 3 years except one and that was off campus which the college administration reports are theirs.

Average college with least IT placements.

Placements: The placements in the college are very bad. No IT companies were there on the campus drive. All the companies come either BPO or KPO and one or two IT companies. They give placements to their highlighted students first in TCS drive, and they never let all the students sit in big companies. For this, they conduct a test in which you need to score well. If you are known to training and placement department, then you can also sit on campus drive.

A college that provides better education facilities but not up to the mark of standards.

Placements: There are no placement opportunities for the students. Companies that come in the final year for students are not related to core field of engineering. They offered only 2.0 LPA package. This package is not satisfying to the students resulting them leave the jobs and try to get admission in coaching centre for further preparation of GATE and other competitive exams.
