- The faculty is very qualified and helpful. They are always open for doubt clearance and any help whatsoever
- The college is full of greenery and trees and is visually pleasing
Dislikes
- The attendance policy is very very strict. Anything less than 70% and they start deducting marks. The 50% of internal marks depends upon attendance. which is counted separately for all lectures
- The girls to boys ratio is quite bad for the top branches. As we go lower it start getting decent. In the CSE branch of LNCT Main there are 15 girls on average in class of 65 students.
- The curriculum is tiresome and school like. There are 7 lectures in a day and it's painful to sit through all of them.
Course Curriculum Overview
The syllabus is good. It is pretty detailed and covers all the important and basic subjects. College curriculum isn't directly applicable towards being used in real world applications but yeah these are important subjects for understanding computer science which can help to get your basics very clear. The area of improvements can be some PPTs and Extra relevant material by faculties and departments instead of just their notes. A quiz or something too. The exams are spaced nicely and there is good time to prepare for them. We get 1 hr 30 minutes for mid sems and 3 hrs in endsems. The first midsem is usually after 2 months of the semester and the second is after 4 months, then we get some 10 days holidays before the main end sems examination starts.
Placement Experience
The placement starts coming at the end of 6th sem or beginning of 7th. You can expect around 15-20 companies to visit. Recently there have been visits by carwale, quantiphi, cognizant, Cape Gemini, Infosys, Kfintech, TCS. All of them had their packages in the range 6-8 lpa. Highest packages reach around 20LPA for a handful of students as one of a good company might visit Like Intuit, Zscaler, Deustche Bank While obviously some students crack off camps and recieve even better options 60-70 percentage of students can get placed here My plans are doing Masters incase I don't get a good enough job.
Fees and Financial Aid
So, my college is LNCT Bhopal, there are 2 other colleges of LNCT in Bhopal itself at the same campus, namely LNCT Excellence and LNCT Science. Those two are fairly new so there fee is 25-30% low. In our college , it is mandatory to opt either for hostel or the bus facility. The hostel charges are nearly 1 lakh per year (mess included) and bus charges are 20,000 per year. The course fees is 1 lakh 50 thousand rupees/ year. I'm in CSE , Btech. The college does not charge extra money for any reason. All the fees is included already. The placement cell may charge extra 3000 in 3rd year for registration and learning material. The fees is same for all CSE related branches. i.e. CSE, AIML, AIDS, Cyber Security, IoT, etc. The fees of ECE branch in our college (LNCT MAIN) is around 1 lakh 25 thousand. There are scholarships available and almost half the students in our class are eligible. The two popular ones are, 1. MP TAS - this is for SC/ST and OBC students. Sc/St receive around 1 lakh per year. While OBC students receive 30 thousand. 2. MUKHYAMANTRI MEDHAVI VIDYARTHI YOJANA popularly knows as MMVY. There are 2 criterias for its eligibility a. Your family income should be less than 8 lakh/yr b. Your JEE MAIN rank should be under 1 lakh 50 thousand. In this, the maximum amount you can avail is 1 lakh 50 thousand. Both the scholarships are only for MP residents. And the application process is pretty smooth and there is a dedicated scholarship department which is helpful. The tuition fees increases by 3-4 thousand every year and the bus fees increases by around 1500 every year.
Campus Life
There is one big fest named SHRISTI. It is held around March. The sports fest is also included with shristi making it a good environment all around. There are some sort of competitions and programs running around all year. And then there are Degree specefic fests. like the TechnoCultural fest for Btech Students There are fresher parties for different degrees as well organised by college itself. Like different for Btech, MBA, BCA, BBA, etc. The library is pretty big and resourceful. You can access whichever book you like, but you are allowed to take home only 2 of them at a time. There are many many student portals and clubs like the INCUBATION CENTRE, the Drone club, the Orators Club, the Astronomy Club, The GDSC club, dance , singing, etc
Hostel Facilities
I havent opted for hostels so I don't know exactly but based on what I know from my friends and experience. The rooms are typically triple sharing. With separate bed, table and almirah for each. There are options for AC and NON AC rooms. The rooms are pretty clean and good enough in size. The DEANs and Wardens are pretty strict and take care of everything. The meal is okay okay. The process is pretty simple, the girls can opt for hostels for all 4 years while the boys are only allowed for first year and then they have to shift. They are affordable, ranges around 1 Lakh per year, including mess. I live in vidisha at my home which is 55 kms away so yeah I use the college bus facility.
Admission
I just wanted CS branch so I prepared the list of top colleges and just entered them linewise in counseling. I was not getting CS in any state government college. And the rank cutoff of previous years made sure that I'll get admission in LNCT CS easily so I was rest assured. There were options of big private universities like VIT, THAPAR, AMITY. I was getting a nice scholarship on my school scores. But since I reside in vidisha I chose this college, as it is the best in Bhopal and was suggested to me by my seniors and family as well. Also the fees is reasonable and I knew it would be covered by MMVY scholarship which wasn't the case if I opted for college outside Madhyapradesh. The admission process is quite simple. It is done through MP DTE counselling. But as it is a private college, you can just come in directly for admission and they will handle your counselling themselves and will get you the branch you are eligible for based on your scores. For the leftover seat there is management quota as well, and you can get a seat at double fees. 12lakh for the course.
Faculty
The faculty is really good with most of the teachers being PhD and Masters. The faculty to students ratio is obviously 1 : 60. 1 teacher for 60 students in a class. There are ample of teachers. There are 7 subjects per semester, 5 main and 2 extra. And there are different teachers for all. There are dedicated lab assistants too. The faculties are very approachable and friendly. Most of the teachers are good enough and really care about students while some minding their own business. The teachers I like are : The recent joinee INSHA ALI Ma'am for DBMS PRASHANT sir for engineering chemistry. SANU SIR and MADHU Ma'am for Eng. Mathematics. AMRITA GOEL for Digital Logics. MM SAHU for Eng Drawing. There are not any faculties which I particularly dislike, but yeah I don't like our mentor because he refuses to listen to anything. And the college management is not even changing him since 3 semesters. I have not encountered any teacher who was bad enough to be disliked but yeah I have heard from my friends that some teachers are just bad and very strict. There are 2 midsems and 1 endsem. The best out of 2 midsems is counted for evaluation. Midsems are 20 marks per subject. Midsems are conducted in 2 days. In 3+2 manner or 2+2 manner. 5 midsem exams in first and second year. And 4 in third and fourth year. The midsems also include the basic attendance criteria. Students below 60% lf attendance are barred from giving the exam and are marked 0. Midsems include 4-5 questions and are moderate in difficulty. There are no passing marks but yeah students get average 12-13 marks. Midsems highly depend on what is taught in the class. Endsems are 70 marks for each subject. Checked and conducted by Rgpv And the checking is very random and page dependent. The more you write , the more marks you'll get even if you repeat the same thing over. There are 5 end sems in first and second year and 4 in third and fourth year. Out of which most are moderate.
