Candidates interested to take admission in first year of 3 years diploma program in Govt. Polytechnics are required to take PAT (Polytechnic admission test) which is being conducted by Himachal Pradesh Takniki Shiksha Board Dharamshala Distt. Kangra H.P every year in the month of May.
Government polytechnic Hamirpur was established in 1963. There are five branches in this institute which are - Computer engineering, IT, Civil engineering, Mechanical engineering, Electrical engineering.
The infrastructure is quite good and there is a big playground. I applied for a Computer engineering diploma and the teachers were good and quite helpful. There are computer labs where you can do programming and apply your coding skills.
Eligibility:-- Students after 10th and 12th can apply for this institute. You should have a minimum of 75 percent on the 10th and 12th. Students after 12 can apply through the Leet exam through which you can get direct admission in the 2nd year in diploma classes.
Course Curriculum Overview: I choose CSE because we had Java as a programming subject from the 5th standard in our school. Also, I had an interest in programming languages so it was really good to choose CSE as my course here.
Faculty:- The faculty is pretty good all the teachers explain everything clearly. We have theory classes and practical classes. Our class consisted of 43 students. All the teachers are helpful and they can guide you clearly on everything.
Qualification of faculty:- All the teachers are well educated and most CSE teachers have excellent coding skills. The teaching method is quite good as sometimes the teacher teaches with the help of a projector which makes it quite easy to understand and develop programming skills.
Exams:-- As I belong to CSE the exams were quite easy to pass if you study well. You need a minimum of 40 marks to pass the exams and everyone can score that if you study nicely, otherwise you will get detained and then you will have to wait for one year to come back to the same semester.
