If you only have a choice for private colleges in Bhopal and are confused about which one to choose, I would recommend LNCT because it is the only college in Bhopal that provides good placement.

I have a few friends from LNCT and according to them, if you are well-acquainted with your program, you will be easily placed with a decent package. In 2020, the average CTC was in the range of 3-8 LPA while the highest CTC offered was 27 LPA. 

So, if placements are important to you, you should consider LNCT. The college is also strict and disciplined, and you are required to study at least a little bit there. I will recommend LNCT main campus.

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. 

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.

LNCT Bhopal is one of the top private engineering colleges located in Central India. Thus, joining LNCT Bhopal is a highly recommended institute for pursuing Information and Technology (IT). As some of my friends studied there, I am quite familiar with the institute’s performance.

Here is a brief insight about the placement reports of LNCT Bhopal:

In case you are more inclined towards CSE, then choosing institutes like Oriental, Medi-caps, SIRT, TIT, and Acropolis can be a good choice as well, if not the best. But ultimately it is your decision, so select the one that best suits your interests.

LNCT is among the most popular private colleges in Bhopal. The infrastructure, facilities of this college are excellent.

Faculty:

Most of the faculty of this college have completed their BE from a private or government college and there are also professors who have completed their M.Tech and Ph.D. in their respective subjects. 

Curriculum:

The course curriculum of this college is great as it is a part of Rajiv Gandhi Technical University. The syllabus is balanced for the 1st and 2nd years and it is updated regularly. There are various subjects for understanding operating systems, computation and networking. But the coding culture is not that great. 

Examination Pattern:

The examination pattern is quite effective too. There are adequate days of gap between two exams in every semester and the practical exams are being conducted before 20-25 days of the main theoretical exams. There are also internal exams and if you perform well in these, then the main exams will be very easy for you. 

Placements: 

The placement scenario is also very good but it is continuing to decrease every year. A lot of popular companies such as Infogain, Birlasoft, Infosys, Syntel visit the campus for interviews but the packages offered now are less compared to the last few years. In recent years the average CTC offered ranges between 3-8 LPA. 

Hence, the facilities and the faculty of LNCT Bhopal are very good to pursue CSE, but the placement scenario is becoming poor every year and this is a matter of concern.

If you talk about civil engineering the scenario is quite similar for both the colleges whether it is SVITS Indore or LNCT Bhopal. Some of my friends are studying in both the colleges and here are some important facts you need to know.

• For civil engineering, no core companies visit these colleges. However, a handful of companies might visit the campus ending up recruiting just about 3-5 students. Thus, core branches of engineering are not worth joining in these colleges.
• If you want to prepare for GATE or other competitive exams, almost both cities are the same but Bhopal has an edge over Indore regarding the resources and facilities.
• LNCT definitely has a higher number of placements with more and more software companies visiting the campus for recruitment. The placement ratio at LNCT remains better than SVITS or any other private college in the state.
• Attendance criteria are a must in both the institutes with a minimum of 75% attendance compulsory for good sessional marks. Sometimes, it can be really hectic for you.
• Although LNCT has an edge over SVITS due to a better placement record. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at LNCT ranges between 3-8 LPA, while at SVITS the average CTC offered is 3 LPA. The hectic schedule can be a hindrance if you want to do other preparations or additional courses. Here, attendance becomes the main issue as the college doesn’t give you attendance for preparing for competitive exams and so on.

In the end, core branches like civil engineering have the same situation in both colleges. Therefore, all you need to choose in the city and the placement record. In which, clearly LNCT stands higher in terms of both location and placement opportunities.

LNCT is one of the most prestigious private institutes in the country. LNCT is synonymous with quality because of its world-class facilities, excellent infrastructure, well-equipped laboratories, and extensive libraries, as well as its student-friendly campus.

• LNCT provides a diverse range of courses and is a pioneer in the pursuit of high-quality education.
• The faculties are well-experienced and cooperative. 
• The Training and Placement Cell, on the other hand, actively works with students and administrators to assist them in securing a position in any company of their choice.
• Companies such as WIPRO, Cognizant, Amdocs, Infosys, DXC, Accenture, TCS, and many others come to the institute on a regular basis to recruit qualified students from various branches. The average CTC offered by the institute ranges between 3-8 LPA. 

Overall, it is a nice institute. So if you are getting admission, just go for it.

Both Oriental and LNCT are the most renowned private engineering colleges of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. After researching about them online, here are some things I got to know. 

• Oriental offers Bachelor of Engineering (BE) the 4 years (8 semesters) degree course in mechanical engineering .
• This course at Oriental is also an approved course of AICTE.
• The average package of Oriental for mechanical engineering students is about 3-4 LPA.
• LNCT provides courses of Bachelor of Engineering (BE) and the BE Lateral Entry among 9 specializations.
• The course at LNCT is also approved by the AICTE and is a 4year (8 semester) degree course.
• The average package of LNCT for mechanical engineering students is also about 3-4 LPA and has a placement rate of 75-80% that is decent enough.

This depicts that both the colleges are good enough and it depends on the student only where to go. Among LNCT and Oriental, LNCT is more preferred by the students for their interests and academic reasons.
