There is a possibility of you getting admission at LNCT Bhopal in the ECE branch if you have got 51 marks in JEE Mains 2021.

Although you might get LNCT if the cut-off lies in this range it is not possible to say for sure because the cut-off varies according to the marks that you and your competitors have secured in JEE Mains.

Although you should note that the ECE branch is not that great. The faculty base is not good. You will get little to no help from the faculty. 

It’s better if you choose CS at LNCT or LNCTS. That way you will have more placement opportunities. Most IT companies visit the campus for placement. The core companies visiting the campus are very less in number. So, if you take ECE, your placement opportunities will be limited.

Different colleges under the university have different uniforms. But one thing is for sure that uniform is mandatory. So, be it BE or B.Pharma or MBA, MCA, each college under LNCT has a set of uniforms.

• 1st-year students have to wear a uniform every working day. From the 2nd year onwards, you can wear anything casual on Wednesday.
• For 1st-year girls’ students, the dress code is Gray Pants, White shirt and a Waist Jacket. 
• From the 2nd year, girls have to wear a White Salwar suit. You will not be allowed to wear leggings or any printed kurta.
• During winters, you have to wear a green blazer which will completely suit your white dress. The blazer is provided by the college itself at the time of your admission process. 

Almost all the engineering colleges of Madhya Pradesh have different uniforms for the students. Now, this uniform culture is also seen in non-technical colleges as well. Few students don’t like it but according to me, it's a sign of equality that’s why to be proud to wear a uniform in college.

LNCT Bhopal has the best discipline and joyful environment. Mark my words, you guys will love to be there. 

For the first year, the syllabus is the same for all the branches. This gives an overview of all the branches. This does not mean that you will not be studying subjects related to your branch. You will have subjects like Basic Mechanical Engineering (BME), basics of computer languages such as C, C++, etc.

These subjects are scoring. You can easily score high grades in these subjects. 

Usually, CS is considered one of the finest branches in almost every college. Therefore, to meet the requirements a person should score well and get their seats reserved in the college. 

From the past few experiences, it has been seen that the JEE Mains score matters immensely for your admission, if you are from a general category then your score should be mandatorily more than 80, and if you are from scheduled caste or scheduled tribes then 20-30 marks will also work.

Lastly, we can conclude that to get into the computer science branch in LNCT Bhopal you should be active enough to refer to the previous cut-off so that you can set your targets according to that.

Many top companies such as Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, Cognizant, and others visit the campus of LNCT Bhopal for placements. To secure a job in any of these companies, you should have a degree of 7+ and you need to clear written, technical, HR. 

Preparation Tips - Written:

To clear the written test, it would be better if you can join institutes like T.I.M.E. This wouldn't be like University exams which can be cleared by studying for one day or two. Here you have to prepare very hard for Aptitude, Logical Reasoning & English as all of these are very important to clear the written.

Preparation Tips - Technical: 

To clear technical, you must have proper knowledge of programming languages like C++, Java, MySQL, Oracle and subjects like Operating System, DBMS, Data Structure, Software Engineering Object-Oriented Programming, Computer Networks. Some questions may be asked from these subjects during your interview, so prepare for these subjects very well. 

Preparation Tips - HR:

In this round, your communication skills and your IQ level will be tested, so prepare for this round very well. Also some. Also, there are group discussion sessions for some companies, so prepare for that too.

Both LNCT Bhopal and OIST Bhopal have gained a reputation among other engineering colleges in Madhya Pradesh. Here are some of the reasons why.

• Both the institutes are among the oldest engineering colleges in Bhopal, and in light of this fact, the academic depth crucially slopes higher with respect to their age of establishment.
• In fact, the major upside both institutes boast is their infrastructure and faculty strength, unlike many other institutes.
• The placement reports, most essentially, are booming, regardless of present circumstances.

However, when compared there are no such differences between LNCT Bhopal and OIST Bhopal.

Pros of LNCT:

• LNCT Bhopal, recently, improved its disciplinary and management strategies. OIST Bhopal, on the other hand, also has its own management yet it is not as it used to be.
• The placements of LNCT have been better than OIST for the last few years now. The reason behind this is their TPO, who earlier was associated with Oriental. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at the institute is 3.5 LPA, while the highest CTC offered was 21 LPA.
• However, in placement numbers, OIST still beats LNCT due to the mass recruitment of TCS.

Cons of LNCT:

• Regardless of their disciplinary actions, LNCT does mandate an attendance requirement until the final year, which is severely hard to maintain.
• It is quite transparent as to why students have a hard time preparing for exams like GATE or CAT.
• The technical and cultural fests are quite infrequent, as opposed to what is in OIST Bhopal. However, this is not as crucial as the other aspects of the institute.

Nonetheless, if you are opting between the both, LNCT Bhopal has an upper hand, even though by only a few pointers. But, given the scenario, there are no greatly noticeable differences between the two institutes, except only a few handfuls.

My cousin is currently studying in LNCT Bhopal and he stays in a PG too. If you are looking for some good stays nearby LNCT then you can go for the following localities that have good pgs.

• Anand Nagar
• Patel Nagar nearby Oriental,
• Piplani
• Ayodhya Bypass
• Indrapuri

Although it totally depends on your preferences, the best localities for joining some coaching or arts/theatre clubs are MP Nagar like Bharti Niketan, Gautam Nagar, and all the places nearby Chetak.

While if you are just a fresher in the college, it is highly recommended to go for hostels and enjoy the hostel life for at least one year. You will also get hostels in all these places mentioned above, as the LNCT campus hostels are full of restrictions such as in and out timings, bad mess food facilities, and no complaint board, etc.

The EC Branch at LNCT is not as good as CS or IT branch. You should rather opt for another private college if you do not will to be a regular. 

• You will be obligated to maintain a 75% attendance. Failure of which is met by serious repercussions and expulsion from placement session. 
• If you have sketched out your college life as fun, lively, and full of adventure then you are requested to rethink your decision. You would not be able to spare much time from your college schedule for your skill development. 
• The co-curricular activities and various other programs are held here too but that does not add up to your development in any way.
• As for the placement opportunities, you should not be keeping high hopes. Most of the companies that visit LNCT are mainly for recruiting qualified students in the IT field. 

Other than C and C++ it would rather be essential to learn technologies. This might add up to your already hectic series of academics. In the EC branch, the students are not provided with decent high-paying job opportunities other than the average packages. 

Hence, you should consider other private institutes as well if you do want to regret your decision. The CSE branch is terrific here and without hesitation, you can opt for it.

I have a few friends from LNCT Bhopal and according to their experience, the Mechanical department doesn’t have a good placement record.

• Very few core companies visit the campus to recruit Mechanical Engineering students. Also, the number of vacancies for such companies is less. VOITH, AIS Glass, Triveni Turbines are some of the core recruiting companies for Mechanical Engineering.
• Other than the core companies you can also sit for IT companies or marketing companies.

Overall the placements of the institute are quite good, despite few underperforming branches. LNCT has good placement records for departments like IT, CSE, and ECE, alongside a placement percentage sloping far ahead to at least 95%. In the recent placement drive, the average and highest CTC offered was 3 LPA and 21 LPA.

Some of my cousins graduated from LNCT Bhopal and here are some things about LNCT you need to know before getting an admission here. 

• LNCT Group is vast across central India. 
• They cover all the types of courses, graduate and postgraduate.
• But the main branch LNCT Bhopal that was established in 1993 is the place where everything blossomed. It still stands on the top among a lot of colleges. 
• Laxmi Narain College of Technology (LNCT) offers all types of technical and engineering courses.

Within the campus, there are 2 more colleges, those are LNCTE (Excellence) and LNCTS (Technology and Science), and these 3 are affiliated with RGPV currently. There are also separate buildings for pharmacy, MBA, and MCA. Therefore, I can assure you that LNCT Bhopal is the best among all.
