To join Hindustan Institution of Technology and Science (HITS), students must take the HITSEEE entrance exam, featuring 120 questions covering Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Admission requires submission of 10th and 12th-grade mark sheets and a verification process at the Guindy campus. The application fee is Rs 700, with the exam lasting one hour. Aeronautical Engineering is a standout program, offering numerous opportunities. The faculty is supportive, many holding advanced degrees from top institutions. The student-to-faculty ratio is roughly 25:250, with faculty aiding in industry connections and internships, though morale is affected by management issues. The course structure is modern, leading to good grades, though there are discrepancies in faculty availability across departments. The total four-year course cost is about Rs 10,63,000, with Aeronautical students paying Rs 3,75,000 in the first year and Rs 3,10,000 annually thereafter. Despite high fees, scholarships like the Dr. K.C. Verghese Merit cum Means Scholarship provide up to 75% fee concessions based on academic and sports achievements. The infrastructure reportedly falls short given the fees, lacking facilities like air-conditioned classrooms. Placement prospects are strong for CSE, ECE, EEE, and Mechanical branches, with companies like Infosys and Amazon hiring. Placement rates reach about 60%, with salaries from 3 LPA to 36 LPA, averaging 20 LPA. Aeronautical students face fewer core company opportunities, with salaries between 4.5 to 9 LPA. Almost 98% secure internships with organizations like HAL and ISRO, though students must independently seek them. Scholarships reduce fees significantly for high academic performance, sports achievements, and entrance exam scores, with hostel fees ranging from ₹90,000 to ₹150,000 annually.
