Well said that the ‘contemporary society is nothing but a technology juggernaut’ and the phenomena is driven and shouldered by engineers. The relation has turned to become so symbiotic in nature that here we stand to understand the significance of engineering and the profession that will never be out dated. Also that globalisation is at its acme and India being the cynosure of technological upbeat, demand for Indian engineers is on the upward incline both nationally and internationally.

Finding India to be at the forefront of the global race, engineering colleges in India have germinated manifold. And in this exhaustive list Sharda Group of Institutions (SGI) have carved an indelible mark with its set of engineering centres and courses in the realm of technical education. SGI has devoted four campuses for engineering studies. Hindustan College of science and technology, Mathura is their first venture in 1996, with Anand Engineering College, 1998, BMAS Engineering College, Agra in 1999 and Hindustan Institute of Technology /HAERT Academy, G. Noida in 2005 to follow.

All the campuses offer B.Tech courses and incorporate subjects like Automobile engineering, Mechanical engineering, Electronics and communication engineering, Electronics and instrumentation engineering, Computer science and engineering, Information technology, Chemical engineering, Electrical & electronics engineering, Environmental engineering and Bio Technology. M.Tech is conducted only at HCST and HIT in Mechanical, Electronics and communication and Computer science. All the set-ups are approved by AICTE, Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India, and are among UPTU Affiliated Colleges, with NBA accreditation for some of the B. Tech disciplines.

All these colleges possess a fantabulous infrastructural facility that focus on the student’s all round development and enhancement of personality. Provision of computer labs with adept number of desktops supported with leased line, ISDN backup and wi-fi, library with a comprehensive collection of books, journals, research papers as well as audio-visual portfolio to access extensive information is present. Separate hostel for boys and girls, sports & indoor games, medical facilities, communication by DOT telephone lines, wire less phones, EPABX, separate “pay-phone” makes the life in campus comfortable.

Edusat linkage & video conferencing, virtual class room facilities through satellite linkage under the Edusat Scheme coupled with co-curricular & extra-curricular activities like Electronics Students Association (ESA), Mechanical Students Association (MESA), Civil & Environmental Students Association (CESA) as well as value-addition courses for augmenting employment like cad/cam (Pro-Engineer / Auto CAD) workshops poise their skills. With world-class trained in-house and visiting faculty these activities are executed diligently making Sharda group [http://www.sgei.org] of engineering colleges among premier engineering colleges of India.
