About Hewett Polytechnic

Hewett Polytechnic is an incredibly historic and prestigious Government-Aided technical institution located at the Raheem Nagar Crossing in Mahanagar, Lucknow. Originally founded in Gorakhpur in the year 1904, the institution was shifted to Lucknow in 1908 to benefit from the central positioning of the capital of Avadh. Enjoying country-wide popularity, the college has a profound legacy, having historically trained students not just from India, but from the Middle East, Tibet, Bhutan, and Ceylon. Formally recognized by the Government of India in 1934 and receiving state grants-in-aid since 1957, the college operates with full approval from the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and maintains strict affiliation with the Board of Technical Education Uttar Pradesh (BTEUP), Lucknow. The academic portfolio of Hewett Polytechnic perfectly balances its historic core strengths with modern industry demands. The institute offers highly sought-after, three-year full-time diploma programs in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering (Production), which operate under the highly subsidized government-aided model. Adapting to the digital age, the college also successfully runs a self-financed diploma program in Information Technology. Furthermore, the institution caters to graduates by offering specialized one-year PG Diplomas in Accountancy (with computerized accounts & taxation) and Computer Hardware & Networking. The pedagogy here is legendary; heavily experienced faculty members ensure that rigorous theoretical instruction is meticulously translated into practical expertise through extensive laboratory and workshop sessions. Spread across an expansive 18-acre (45 Bigha) eco-friendly campus in the heart of Mahanagar, the infrastructure at Hewett Polytechnic provides a robust learning environment. While the buildings carry a historic charm, students have access to well-equipped department-specific laboratories, heavy-duty mechanical workshops, and air-conditioned computer labs capable of running heavy software like Android Studio. The campus features a rich central library, an on-campus post office, and dedicated grounds for volleyball and badminton. Though hostel facilities are currently reserved for third-year students, the institute compensates with an aggressively active placement cell. Consistently securing recruitments with tier-1 industrial giants like L&T, Adani, and Jindal Steel, Hewett Polytechnic remains an undisputed titan of technical education in Uttar Pradesh.
