Every week, there will be two periods for the library, and the books in the library are useful. Cadets from any state in India can have good food and feel good with the facilities of the hostel. Indoor and outdoor sports facilities are available, and we can play every evening.
Faculty: Yes, the teaching faculty members in HIMT College are very helpful, especially the ETO course faculty members. They are very friendly and have both knowledge and practical experience, so they help us score good marks. They provide us extra coaching for placements when the companies come for recruitment, and they take responsibility for every individual student to improve in both academics and communication.

HIMT College Admission 2024 FAQs

Q:   What is the selection process for B Tech and what is the minimum 12th class percentage required?

A: 

The selection process for B.Tech programs can vary among different colleges and universities with some elements like Educational Qualification, Entrance Examination, Merit list, Interviews, Reservation Quotas etc.

Normally, we can get admission in private B.Tech colleges after passing class 12th but for getting admission in good/reputed University or colleges we have to give an exam called JEE Mains (Joint Entance Exam). According to the marks scored in this exam, we get placement in B.Tech colleges.

It is common for universities to set a minimum eligibility criteria, often ranging from 50% to 75% in the aggregate of the relevant subjects. But the minimum percentage required in the 12th class can vary from institution to intuition.
