Overall, Hindustan University is average at best.  The quality of education offered is not good. Most faculty members are fresh graduates and don’t have much experience.  The institute doesn’t have a good infrastructure. Although the institute claims to offer a good Aeronautical or Aerospace program, they don’t have good facilities or faculties to back up the claim. Besides a subsonic wind tunnel and four broken-down plans, the department offers zero facilities.  Hindusthan University fees are pretty steep. The B.Tech Aeronautical Engineering program costs around INR 14.39 Lakhs.  The institute doesn’t offer any internships or co-op opportunities to students. The placement opportunities offered aren’t worth the high course fee.  The college lacks basic amenities that are essential for the overall growth of the students. 

Madras Institute of Technology is under Anna University. These two aren’t separate. If you want good job profiles with cushy salary packages, after completing your degree, MIT isn’t a good option. Not many core companies visit the campus drive for recruitment. Although placements in the non-core sector are good. MIT offers good academics and you can benefit from the institute if you are aiming to pursue higher studies. The course fee is nominal. The course costs around INR 1.58 lakhs.  SRM is a good option if infrastructure is your priority. Although the university fees are a little higher. 

One of my friends studies at Hindustan University. So, I know a little bit about the institute.  Hindustan University is recognized as a great platform for Aerospace Engineering. But the institute owes its reputation to the students who go out of their way to excel in academics without much help from the institute. According to my friend’s experience, the institute does not offer support of any kind, be it lab equipment, leniency in attendance, or time. The institute charges high fines for low attendance. It also has a dress code for the laboratory which is quite uncomfortable. According to authority, it is for the protection of the students. However, there are either computer-related laboratory works or lectures, so there is actually no need for uncomfortable uniforms.  Also, students are not allowed to use most of the equipment in the laboratory. According to authorities, it could be potentially dangerous.  Overall, at Hindustan University you won’t have many facilities, placement offers, or any kind of support. So, it would be better to opt for other options.

One of my cousins is an alumnus at Hindustan University. Not many of his batchmates are working as Aerospace Engineers. Most of them were placed in IT companies through campus placements. The very few who are actually working in a field related to Aerospace Engineering made it there through their own efforts.  The placement report published by the university is as follows: Academic Year Total Number of Offers Percentage of Placement Number of Companies 2018-19 456 78.75% 77 2017-18 514 78.59% 50 2016-17 485 77.84% 75 In the academic year of 2018-19, for the department of aerospace engineering, 22 students registered for placement out of which 15 got placed.  A large number of software companies hire from this university. If your only concern is placement, then this might not be the best college for you because the university does not ensure 100% placement.

Hindustan University is a better option when compared to Vels Institute. Since you are looking for courses related to Arts and Science, this university will offer you the same with job-oriented courses. It offers a triple major in BA that includes English, psychology, and political science.  They also offer specialization in BBA apart from the BBA (General). The specializations offered under BBA are aviation management, Hospital and healthcare, and logistics in collaboration with logistics sector skills.  B.Com course is offered under various specializations like Banking Management and Applied Accounting.  BCA also has specializations in Multimedia and Animation and Database Systems. For the B.Sc, HITS offers Avionics Aircraft Maintenance, Fashion Design and Arts, Food Technology, Visual Communication, Cardiovascular Technology, Optometry, and Sports and Anesthesia Technology.  The university also gives BLIS, B.Voc in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, Autotronics, Communication Design, Food Processing Technology, and Textile Design. Apart from academics, the university provides every opportunity to excel in different extracurricular activities. There are a lot of clubs offering a joyful experience to the student life.  With such diverse courses, Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science is the best choice to study arts and science courses.
