LNCT is one of the best private colleges in Madhya Pradesh yet, pursuing civil engineering is futile. Following are the reasons for the same: 

• The placement scenario for core branches is very bad. Hardly, any core company visits for recruitment. Even if they do, only 2-3 students are recruited. 
• You have to look for a job on your own. Not many opportunities are provided for civil engineering. 
• The department offers less practical knowledge and more theoretical knowledge.
• The faculty members are not good at the college and the labs are not fully equipped. 
• LNCT Bhopal has a rule for 75% attendance which will only waste your time. You won't be able to prepare for competitive exams like GATE till the 3rd year.
• Preparing for these exams will be very hectic. Less attendance means fewer sessional marks which will degrade your CGPA.

LNCT Bhopal is not a good option if you are looking for a career in engineering. You will have to manage your studies on your own.

It is not an easy task but it is definitely possible to switch your branch in the 2nd year but there are certain conditions you need to fulfill:

• No backlogs in the First Year.
• Good academic performance throughout the 1st year.

There is, however, an unsaid rule, if you wish to apply to a more intense branch-like CSE from a Mechanical, your request may not go through at all. However, if it is from a less intensive branch to a similar branch, based on your academic performance they will consider your request.

Moreover, the procedure would involve getting permission from your HOD to make sure you have a great class performance, if not, at least a decent reputation in the batch. They would not consider requests from the troublemakers of the batch.

So, if you think you might want to switch later after the first year, do keep this in mind, it might help.

Let’s evaluate the pros and cons to get a better understanding.

Pros:

• LNCT has the best campus among the private colleges of Bhopal. 
• It is recognized by the NBA
• It has a good infrastructure. The labs are operational. Classes are held as scheduled.
• You will have good exposure. 
• LNCT has a great placement record. In the 2020 placements, the highest CTC offered was 27 LPA.

• Canteen food is bad, and you can't go anywhere on campus except for lunch.
• It is situated far from the main city.
• There are fewer extracurricular opportunities than at other state colleges.
• Campus Hostel food is awful.

These are some of the things that you should know before you choose to attend LNCT Bhopal. 

All of the colleges that you have mentioned are great institutes. But it would be suggested that you opt for LNCT Bhopal. 

It offers more opportunities to the students and initiates programs to help students enhance their skills. The faculty here is well-experienced and very cooperative. Although there is a pressure of maintaining 75% attendance, it all works out for the benefit of the students. 

If you do not have a better option other than LNCT Bhopal, then you should opt for it.

There is a committee for anti-ragging in Madhya Pradesh that take care of such things. If someone is found doing any such activity, they have to face strict punishment sometimes jail is also possible.

There are certain rules in university itself which have to followed by everyone regarding ragging:

• Seniors are not allowed in the freshers' area.
• Separate buses are provided for freshers and seniors.
• Seniors can contact the juniors during fresher’s party only. 
• A helpline number is given by MP government if you are facing any issue related to ragging
• In a private college concept of senior-junior will not work because each and everyone lives in the tension of placement or some government exam.

A piece of advice, maintain distance from your seniors for some initial days. You will be fine once you have contacted them frequently.

Among the state private engineering colleges, LNCT is ranked first in every category. In terms of college, the campus is nice, and the infrastructure is good (as per state colleges).

Perks: 

• The college atmosphere is often positive. Classes are held on a regular basis, and there is strong discipline.
• The placement scenario is excellent especially for CS, IT, and EC.
• Wipro, Infosys, and cognizant are among the companies that recruit students from LNCT. These companies specialize in mass recruitment. These companies offered annual packages ranging from 3 to 3.5 lakhs.
• Many small telecommunications companies also recruit at colleges. The package offered is around 3 lakhs.
• In LNCT, students mostly study CS, IT, and EC. Given that it is an RGPV college, one can expect additional study-level parameters.

Disadvantages: 

• The need for 75% attendance for good session grades is inconvenient.
• It becomes more like a school with a higher attendance percentage.
• Other competitive tests (if desired) cannot be prepared for till the third year. For good grades, attendance is important.

These are a few factors that you need to keep in mind if you are considering joining LNCT.
