HIT is a private college whereas GCECT is a government college. Following are the points of differentiation between both colleges:

1. GCECT has comparatively very less fees which almost amount to INR 10,000 per semester and the fees for HIT approximately go up to INR 50,000 per semester.
2. GCECT is an autonomous institute which means that the evaluation is done on the campus. However, on the other hand, Haldia Institute of Technology is affiliated with MAKAUT. 
3. For CSE, GCECT has great labs that are very poorly maintained and the faculty is also not so impressive. It has a poor infrastructure when compared to HIT. 
4. Both the colleges have almost the same average placement rates which range from 4 to 5 lakhs per annum. More service-based companies visit HI.
5. GCECT has no on-campus placement drive and it jointly organizes placements. There is the same amount of competition. The companies still take a good amount of students from one college campus rather than multiple campuses.

You can go to Haldia Institute of Technology if fee structure is not an issue. It will offer you great exposure when compared to a government institute.

The ranks keep getting fluctuate every year and there is no surety about the exact ranks. 

It is suggested to wait until the third round of counseling if you are unable to secure a seat.

However, you can absolutely get a seat in Applied Electronics with this rank. In fact, you will get it in the 1st round itself. For 2021, the opening and closing rank of this course is 9490 and 21759 respectively.

You can proceed with further admission process very easily.

The rankings depend on the recently produced cut off by the institute, so as to process admission. By the rank you have secured, it is quite apparent that you can get an admission seat for the Biotechnology branch. 

Here is a breakdown of the cut-off (opening and closing) recently produced by the institute.

However, at times, it can take you until the last round to get shortlisted. In any case, it is generally difficult for a general student to acquire admission at Heritage Institute of Technology with a rank of 20,000. But, it is best that you still research more about the latest cut-off trends.

You can get your admission fee back as a refund after giving a proper application to step down from the admission process. Haldia Institute of Technology also follows this. 

It’s just a matter of how much time it is going to take. You need to keep documents like the receipt for the first semester, clearance certificate, and ID proof handy with you. These documents can be submitted to the finance or the accounts office of the Institute.

This process can be done online too. Since last year Haldia Institute of Technology has been transferring back the refund for the admission fee through NEFT. The transfer mostly happens on the same day when the refund application is submitted. 

It must be noted that the college will deduct an amount of 2000 Rupees as admission processing fees.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Haldia Institute of Technology has established a nice reputation for itself over the past few years. 

• The professors and other members of the faculty for the mechanical engineering department are experienced. 
• The department also has good facilities for the laboratories. 
• The teaching methodologies are considered to be above average by a majority of students enrolled in mechanical engineering courses. 
• The only shortcoming of Mechanical Engineering at Haldia is on-campus placement drives. Very few core companies visit the campus to recruit students almost every year. 
• In case you want to be recruited by a reputed core company after graduation then you must maintain a good academic record from the first semester itself. 

Following table is a brief description of the course:

Some rules for the recruitment drives have been established according to which only the top students based on their CGPA score would be eligible to appear for the selection rounds of core companies. These rules to shortlist the top candidates are usually set up by the corporations visiting the campus for recruitment of students. The options for off-campus recruitment would always be available for you. You can always prepare and apply for job roles via off-campus recruitment of core companies.
