Heritage Institute of Technology Kolkata (HITK) admits students through WBJEE or JEE-MAINS entrance exams, with a typical cutoff range of 5000-8000. Diploma holders can join directly in the second year via the JELET exam. The B.Tech course fee is around Rs. 4 lakhs, with semester payments averaging Rs. 41,000. Lateral entry students pay about Rs. 3.2 lakhs. The college's placement record is strong, with 80-95% placement rates and notable recruiters like TCS, IBM, Cognizant, Infosys, and Amazon.
The highest salary package offered was around 35 LPA by Google, while average packages range from 3.6 to 6 LPA. Financial aid includes government scholarships like the Swami Vivekananda Merit-cum-Means (SVMCM) Scholarship and Tuition Fee Waiver (TFW) seats for economically disadvantaged students. Faculty qualifications are strong, though teaching quality is inconsistent, particularly in the Information Technology department. HITK is regarded as a top private engineering college in West Bengal, with a feasible fee structure for middle-class families and future fee hikes anticipated.
