Academics

Quality of teaching at electrical engineering department is average, some proffesors are very good and knowledgeable but some lack enthusiasm to teach. Professors guide you about your future career paths and provide you with possible options if you consult them.

Top Central University of india

Verified Review

Academics

The teachers are quite helpful. They are well qualified and quite knowledgeable. They make us so comfortable that we can ask any doubt anywhere either in the chamber or in the classroom. They also encourage us to ask doubts where ever as we want we can ask doubts. The semester exams in our colleges are difficult for those who do not study obviously but unique questions are made by the professors. They are quite challenging but yes, one who has done classes does not find them difficult. But with little effort, they can crack the questions. The pass percentage during our time was around 70%.

Aligarh Muslim University is best

Verified Review

Academics

The faculty of CSE is very good. They have good knowledge of their branch, and most faculty have completed their Ph.D. The curriculum is quite good, and they take 3 exams in each semester: 2 are called mid-sem, and 1 is end-sem. Exam papers are a little bit tough so we have to study very sincerely to pass all these 3 examination

Have a question related to ZHCET Aligarh ?

Hi Satyam!

Both HBTU, Kanpur and ZHCET, Aligarh, are equally good! The infrastructure of both includes huge libraries, laboratories, cafeteria, Wi-Fi enabled campus, gym, but HBTU has music and dance rooms in addition!

The placement in HBTU is quite good when compared to that of ZHCET. The Median Salary in the former is Rs. 6.4 lakhs/year and the Highest Salary is Rs. 60 lakhs/year. The Median Salary in the latter is Rs. 3.2 lakhs/year and the Highest Salary is Rs. 10.2 lakhs/year!

Hope this is helpful!

All the best!
