LNCT Bhopal is one of the most popular and reputed colleges in our country and the rules and regulations of this college are very strict.

If you are looking for good placements, you can go for LNCT, since it has a good placement record. However, irrespective of the good placement record and the brand value it still has some issues that need to be addressed.
