HBTU B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Harcourt Butler Technical University (HBTU) offers a comprehensive range of engineering programs, with admissions primarily through UPTU counselling based on JEE Mains scores. The college operates autonomously, creating its rank list for admissions. Faculty qualifications are mixed, with some highly qualified professors but also notable reliance on guest faculty. The teaching quality varies, especially between semesters, and the student-teacher ratio could improve. The fee structure is relatively affordable, with tuition fees totaling about 135,000 INR in the first year and reducing to 127,500 INR in subsequent years.

Hostel and mess fees are approximately 61,000 INR annually. For non-NRI students, annual college fees are around 60,000 INR, and hostel fees are 36,000 INR. NRI students face higher fees of 300,000 to 400,000 INR per year. Scholarships are available for students with family incomes below 2 lakhs for general category and 2.5 lakhs for reserved categories. The UP government offers scholarships ranging from 56,500 to 96,400 INR. Top students can receive tuition fee waivers, and additional scholarships like the Siemens Scholarship provide full tuition waivers and additional benefits.

Placement opportunities are strong, especially for the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) branch, with a near 100% placement rate and packages up to 1.15 crore per annum. The average package among placements is about 8-9 LPA, with top offers reaching 55 LPA. Notable companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Adobe participate in recruitment, and internships, particularly off-campus, often lead to pre-placement offers. Despite varied success rates across branches, the overall placement rate is between 70% to 95%.

The cost of living in Kanpur is affordable, adding to the institution's appeal.
